emissions is using renewable energy to replace fossil fuel. In addition‚ renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore‚ renewable energy will be demanded for approximately half of the worldwide electricity supplies to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050‚ which it is estimated by The International Energy Agency (Cited in Shi 2010). This essay will focus on two forms of renewable energies which are solar

Flemister Renewable Energy is best America’s dependency on foreign oil is costing us more than just money; it costs us our clean air and potentially thousands of jobs in America. Our nation needs to create its own renewable energy. The dependency on other countries is crippling our economy. Drilling for oil in the United States is not the answer. We need to take better care of our planet and that each of us must

(s) 5 Impact (s) 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 INTRODUCTION Biomass is a source of renewable energy. Biomass is a fancy name for material from plants and animals. Some kinds of biomass can be burned to produce energy. One common example is wood. Biomass contains stored energy. That’s because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. When biomass is burned‚ this stored energy is released as heat. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide. However‚ plants also

Renewable Energy Renewable resources consist of any natural resource that can be replenished naturally. Meanwhile‚ petroleum takes millions of years to form and it difficult and expensive to extract. In 2012 the U.S. released 5‚290 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into our environment‚ hurting animals and the environment. And yet our country cannot see that petroleum is not the answer to how our country should run. America should run on renewable resources instead of petroleum. More money should

Renewable Energy Vs. Non-Renewable Disley Perera HUM/111 March 30th‚ 2013 Pamela Harris Abstract For my research on renewable energy and nonrenewable energy I gathered several pros and cons. I have described them‚ and the reasons as to why I believe both sources have important facts of why and why not we should continue the use of these. My thoughts on renewable energy of course is more determined for the fact that it is based of natural energy unlike nonrenewable that is

Lecturer: Mrs. Priyadharshini Ahrumugam Impacts of renewable energy sources Renewable energy is a form of usable energy generated by non-conventional energy sources. Non-conventional energy refers to geothermal heat‚ biomass‚ wind and solar. They are constantly replenished and will never run out. These renewable sources are not causing environmental pollution and produce less or zero carbon emissions. Relying on renewable energy sources will help reduce the contribution of carbon dioxide caused
