RENEWABLE ENERGY In simple terms Renewable Energy‚ as its name implies‚ is energy that is renewable—it is naturally replenished and is the energy that is derived from nature itself like water‚ sunlight‚ wind etc. Most of the energy used before the start of the Industrial Revolution was renewable energy. The beginning of the Industrial Revolution led to an increase in the demand for coal‚ and as a result‚ it replaced most of the “bio mass” used by humanity. With the discovery of oil‚ renewable energy

US – China Renewable Energy Dispute Overview In 2010 US complained that China was subsidizing their renewable energy industry for creating a trade dispute problem for the global economy. US decided to take the case with the WTO who ruled in favor of US‚ claiming that the Chinese government is implementing illegal dumping practices. The World Trade Organization decided to allow US to take action against the Chinese government. They decided to impose tariffs for solar panels imported

Switch From Nonrenewable to Renewable Energy Research Question: What are the differences between renewable and nonrenewable energy and should renewable energy be promoted? I. Thesis statement: The side effect of extracting nonrenewable energy‚ the advantages of using renewable sources in producing energy and the capacity of both of them are the three main points that have pushed engineers to focus and to improve the field of energy.

Introduction A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced‚ grown‚ generated‚ or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate‚ once depleted there is no more available for future needs. Also considered non-renewable are resources that are consumed much faster than nature can create them. Fossil fuels (such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas)‚ types of nuclear power (uranium) and certain aquifers are examples. Natural resources such as coal‚ petroleum‚ oil and natural

1.1.1: Renewable energy: Renewable energy is any natural source which can replenish itself naturally over a short amount of duration. Renewable energy comes from many commonly known sources such as solar power‚ wind‚ hydro power‚ Fuel cells etc. 1.1.2: Why renewable energy? It may not be wrong to say that Renewable energy is playing significant part in fulfilling world’s energy requirement. According

and a simple combustion procedure turns them into energy for running a vehicle‚ generating electricity and/or heat. Fossil fuels are currently a cheap source of energy and so are the methods of producing energy from them. With our present distribution networks‚ we can get fossil fuels of all kinds around the world. That makes it easy to employ them‚ no matter where you are. Thus‚ there is a huge dependence of fossil fuels. That means‚ as energy is running out‚ everyone will suffer the consequences

1. Introduction • VN is relatively endowed with multiform renewable energy (RE) resources which are distributed through-out the country. They can be exploited for production of energy to meet rapidly increasing energy demand as well as environmental protection. • Main RE resources in VN are small hydro power‚ biomass energy‚ wind energy‚ solar energy‚ and geothermal energy. • So far‚ even the high potential of RE resources‚ their contribution in electricity production in Vietnam is still negligible
