environmental benchmark in response to fossil -fuel electricity First Solar has created a comprehensive recycling program and has created value through renewable energy solutions. As the use of fossil-fuels start to diminish and grow unpopular due to the potentially harmful and irreversible environmental effects First Solar uses the abundant energy of the sun. By harnessing a sustainable and renewable energy source First Solar strives to decrease the dependence of fossil-fuels and limit the greenhouse gases

demand for fossil fuels growing through out the world‚ there is with out a doubt a lack of supply for this demand. The United States is the world’s highest consumer of fossil fuels because of the amount of Automobiles that we have on the roads every day. This is not one of the statistics that a country should be proud of being at the top of. Since the United States is the leader of the consumption of these fossil fuels‚ the government is making an effort to look for alternative fuels that we can

year 2100.” Majority of the scientists and research organisations‚ including IPCC have reached on consensus that global warming is caused by massive increase of green house gases such as Carbon dioxide (Co2) in atmosphere resulting from burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The temperature of earth is maintained by the balance between the heat energy coming from the sun and the heat energy returned back to space. Some atmospheric gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4)‚ Nitrous Oxide (N2OX)

We are destroying our world indirectly which means we do not just go and kill those entire animals‚ but what has caused their extinction is due

Tomorrow never comes because of climate change” Before I start lets define first what was climate change is. Climate change or also known as Global Warming‚ refers to the rise in average temperatures on earth. This is due to primarily human use of fossil fuels‚ which releases carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere‚ which can have a range of effects on ecosystems‚ including rising sea levels‚ severe weather events‚ and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires. Isn’t

Palawan has swiftly been a controversy. Environmental organizations and the residents of Aborlan have strongly opposed the said proposal. Why? What makes them oppose such power plant? But first of all‚ what is coal? Coal‚ which is the most abundant fossil fuel‚ is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. Coal-fired power plant converts heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy which then operates

atmosphere by a process known as the “greenhouse effect”. The primary gas responsible for this effect is carbon dioxide. Human activities since the industrial revolution has caused a dramatic jump in the carbon dioxide levels‚ as we have developed a fossil fuel based economy. This increase in carbon dioxide means that a greater fraction of the sun’s energy is trapped rather than escaping each day‚ driving overall temperatures up. Carbon dioxide is the main GHG. Other gases‚ such as methane are

stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it creates jobs‚ makes money for us‚ makes us less reliant on foreign oil and that it will help power our country’s power. They say that it will hopefully get rid of dirty fossil fuel and will help many towns with money by selling off land to be fracked.according
