Fossil fuels comprise 80 percent of current global primary energy demand‚ and the energy system is the source of approximately two thirds of global carbon dioxide emissions as of 2015 (Foster and Elzinga). For decades‚ people have argued about whether fossil fuels are helpful to the planet and sustainability. Although‚ there is no right or wrong answer because renewable and non-renewable resources have disadvantages and advantages. There are very many different variables to be considered in this

Fossil Fuel Dependency and Americans One of the major underlying problems Americans are faced with today is what to do about the dependency on fossil fuels. Petroleum dependence is a big problem for the United States because the supply will be depleted soon if consumers continue to use it at the rate they use it now. If consumers want to keep their engines running and lights on‚ there must be a drastic change in the sources of energy supply. An issue the whole world faces today is the reliance

report presents the emphasis on implementation of renewable energy resources in India. A detailed analysis of the renewable energy sector shows there are less policies and investments in the innovation of this energy. India has limited energy resources and one day it will only depend on renewable energy resources. For this‚ Indian government should implement several measures like sustainable planning; reasonable budget etc. so that renewable energy sources optimally utilized and conserves natural

nonrenewable resources is fossil fuel. They are finite resources that will eventually dwindle‚ becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast‚ renewable energy resources are constantly replenished and are important because of the benefits it provides for us as well as for the environment. Firstly‚ renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Conventional energy technologies rely

Renewable energy is a microeconomics situation‚ it’s thriving for different type of business‚ and it’s becoming a substantial topic in the United States. Renewable energy is any energy that its source is naturally replenished‚ which is solar‚ wind‚ geothermal or hydroelectric action. There’s another type of source called fossil fuel which is coal‚ oil‚ or gas there are nonrenewable source. Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of

Renewable Energy in Malaysia Energy is a key driver for economic growth‚ constituting about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2010‚ the total primary energy supply was 3127.7 petajoules. The main energy sources of commercial energy supply were crude oil‚ which accounted 44.7% and natural gas which accounted 41.6%. These sources remain major ones. However‚ the share of coal and coke increased from 9.1% in 2005 to 11.2 % in these years and only 2.5% came from the non-fossil source of hydro
