Why should we save energy in schools? Saving energy leads to reduce carbon emissions‚lower costs and conserves the supplies we have.They are also working in support with high schools to support energy efficiency."We believe energy efficiency is the cheapest and cleanest form of "new" energy the world has." - energy efficiency unit of Chevron.Even though energy suppliers want your business‚ they are looking for more of an investment instead of wasting energy when it isn’t necessary. They believe

A renewable energy resource is defined as “energy that comes from resources which natural replenished on a human time scale such as wind‚ rain tides‚ waves and others “(Dictionary.com) the most promising of these are wind‚ solar and tidal energy. Wind‚ solar and tidal energy each cater to an environment. Wind energy is best at coastal areas and in the plains

The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

Question: Energy is the main culprit of environmental degradation. Energy usage is undeniably a major contributor of environmental degradation‚ as large quantities of carbon dioxide and other waste products are emitted that ultimately causes a multitude of environmental problems‚ especially global warming. Energy and the environment are inextricably linked due to a carbon dynamics‚ where energy usage results in carbon dioxide emissions which accumulate in the atmosphere (Appendix A). Over time

Harnessing Nuclear Energy The Superior Non-Renewable Alternative? BENJAMIN J DOWDLE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Throughout the first half of the 20th century‚ scientists and governments throughout the industrial world began to explore the concept of nuclear theory in an attempt to harness the powerful forces that hold together the nucleus of an atom. Unlike non-renewable energy sources‚ such as coal or natural gas‚ nuclear power plants do not emit global warming emissions while operating

Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years in some countries for cooking and heating. It is simply power derived from the Earth’s internal heat.This thermal energy is contained in the rock and fluids beneath Earth’s crust. It can be found from shallow ground to several miles below the surface‚ and even farther down to the extremely hot molten rock called magma. These underground reservoirs of steam and hot water can be tapped to generate electricity or to heat and cool buildings directly
