Research Essay Energy Crisis Fossil fuels and Nuclear power plants are extremely dangerous to the environment. They pollute the very atmosphere we breathe and they’re extremely expensive. It emits large amounts of toxins and carbon dioxide into the air‚ not only hurting humans but also the crops we grow. They also assist the cause global warming. “A catastrophic human’s effect of burning fossil fuels and nuclear waste is global warming. They emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases‚ which

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 4 December 2013 Introduction Geothermal is derived from the Greek word ‘geo’ which means ‘earth’ and ‘thermal’ meaning ‘heat’‚ therefore geothermal refers to an energy or heat from the earth. In layman’s terms it is referred to power resulting from the thermal activating within the earth’s crust as a result of volcanic activity. Geothermal energy’s resources range from the surfaces just below the earth‚ to the hot rock‚ which heats water deep beneath the earth

consumption of energy sources that are used to get us through our everyday lives! Our most common methods of generating energy are polluting our beloved planet Earth and tearing up the ozone layer. Also‚ many of these methods we are currently abusing to generate energy are non-renewable. Thats means we could run out any day now. This is a formula for complete disaster‚ but don’t be scared. Like most things we can fix this situation we have put ourselves into with alternative energy sources. Sorry

Energy Resource Plan As the power bill is nearing to be three times as much as it has been‚ one thing on every household’s mind is‚ how are we going to conserve energy? Conserving energy is more than just “saving the planet”. It is preserving earth for future generations‚ your kids‚ your grandkids‚ and your lineage. We need to treat the earth like a precious family heirloom that is nearing its breaking point. There are two categories of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy comes
