Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

SCI/275 Environmental Science Letters to the Editor (Conservationist) Dear Editor: As is evidenced in recent world news and events‚ taking steps to energy independence is paramount to the continued survival of the United States as a Nation. Growing increasingly dependent on the natural resources in other parts of the world further compounds the possibility for this independence. As a conservationist‚ it is my belief that we as a country can begin to develop the means required to carefully

CheckPoint: Energy Resource Challenges Catherine Forbes SCI/275 August 31‚ 2012 University of Phoenix CheckPoint: Energy Resource Challenges “Nonrenewable energy resources include coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas.” However‚ they are nonrenewable‚ meaning that these resources cannot be regenerated. There are alternatives‚ though‚ that can be used in their stead; some of which are wind turbines‚ solar energy‚ ethanol‚ hydropower‚ geothermal energy‚ biomass energy‚ and ocean energy.

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential

Marine Habitat Destruction Anita Rouse SCI/275 07/24/2010 Jean-Paul Simjouw‚ PhD Marine habitats are in grave danger due to humans and Mother Nature. Hurricanes‚ typhoons‚ storm surges‚ and tsunamis are factors in which contributes to the destruction of marine habitats and are caused by Mother Nature. Human’s destruction to these habitats is much worse due to the fact that Mother Nature’s destruction is mostly temporary‚ while humans leave more of a lasting footprint on the habitats because

Declining Fish Stock One major problem we are facing as a country is the rapid decline in several different species of fish in the ocean. Some specialist have actually looked into this to determine the cause for the decline in fish in the ocean. One of the major causes is that some species of fish are being fished more than others. It is even stated that more fish than the species are being able to actually reproduce. This alone could eventually lead some of the species into extinction. This is
