Energy crisis has become one of the major problem all over the world‚ Especially the developed world needs more energy‚ countries like USA‚ consumes 5times more energy than the rest of the world‚ however the developing countries like India and China are also in raise of energy consumptions‚ and these consumptions will increase. Even though fossil fuels were satisfying the people needs all these years‚ the emissions from it‚ called the green house gasses results in Global Warming‚ which has become

to the current energy sources we are using‚ our society is in desperate need of a new source of energy. Nuclear energy can be the answer to our country’s problems. In 1938‚ Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman conducted an experiment in which they hurdled a neutron at extremely high speeds towards the element uranium. This caused the nucleus of the atom to split‚ and from there neutrons continued to split other neutrons in a process known as fission. A chain reaction of sustained energy release was created

Nuclear Energy – Blessing or Curse? Nowadays hot debates surround use of nuclear energy. It is widely suggested that it is one of the cheapest and cleanest energy resources‚ whereas others strongly disagree with that viewpoint‚ and claim that use of nuclear energy poses an unacceptable risk to the environment and to humanity. Consequently‚ there are many demonstrations against nuclear power plants worldwide‚ whereas others consistently support nuclear energy. Where does the truth lie? One of the

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renewable Fuels Solar Energy: Advantages: -Energy is free although there is a building cost. -Causes no pollution‚ however‚ energy may go into machines that produce pollution. -Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid. -Estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30-40 years whereas solar energy is infinite. Disadvantages: -Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime

To a large extent‚ I agree that the nuclear power is an unsustainable energy resource. Environmentally‚ water for cooling process of the nuclear plants is released into the sea. This causes thermal pollution and reduces water quality. Moreover‚ the radioactive wastes in the nuclear plants will release radioactive substances and contaminate the surrounding areas. Even if the waste is buried underground‚ there may be leakage‚ polluting the underground water and soil. Serious damage is done to the

But‚ like a coin that has two sides‚ science has its own disadvantages too‚ especially‚ when it comes to Nuclear weapons that can kill thousands in no time. An article appeared in ‘The Times of India’ on Monday‚ dated April 20‚ 2009 (Page # 14) says that‚ new research suggests the Chinese nuclear tests alone claimed

Public Utility Paper Nuclear Power plant as a new alternative source of energy in Malaysia The first time the world was exposed the enormous potential power of nuclear was when the United States of America dropped two atomic bombs into Japan which effectively ended World War 2. Almost every country stood by and watched as the bombs made by the simple process of fission of two atomic particles produced enough power to destroy two big cities. The understanding of nuclear was not at a high level
