Managing Energy Independence in the United States Americans are disgusted with the increasing cost of oil and they no longer want to financially support foreign countries that attack the United States. “The Task Force feels that energy independence is unachievable‚ however‚ they do point to several solutions to manage oil consumption. While energy independence may not be entirely achievable in the near future‚ politicians should concentrate on managing the United States’ dependence on oil by limiting

Many people are debating how to best meet energy needs in the United States. Some argue that the country must decrease its dependence on oil and invest in alternative sources of energy. The United States use tons of oil daily witch tends to be very expensive. Many people believe that to best meet energy needs would be to find alternative sources‚ such as wind‚ and solar power. The simple fact is‚ renewable and alternative energy should be a major investment for everyone. Energy conservation can result

Oil prices have risen to an ultimate level; congress must look into the still tiny alternative energy market. In a minimum of fifty years fossil fuels‚ which include petroleum (oil)‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ will all run out. Alternative energy is a renewable and the most productive type of energy for the USA and the world (United States. Department of Energy). Every person on this planet is provided with a dirty and unforgiving energy source‚ fossil fuels. Fossil fuels destroy and tarnish the once

Alternative Energy Sources Fossil fuels will not last forever. If the human race wishes to continue to live the way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very

In present day people all around the world have used many energy sources. For instance‚ cars have to use much fossil fuel energy. Coal and natural gas also have been used too much to heat homes and businesses even during the winter (Adapted from Rosenthal‚ E. ‚ 2010‚ December 11). As this information‚ ‘finding alternative energy sources is one of the major projects of this century in all countries because the world is running out of the natural resources’ (Edited extracts from authentic student

“Alternative sources of Energy" In the not-too-distant future -- with regard to history’s time-line -- there will come a point when oil that is fossil fuels will have been depleted. However‚ waiting until supplies are exhausted would place a major hardship upon future energy demands. Even the existence of other conventional sources such as hydropower‚ wind energy and biomass will not suffice keeping in mind the rapid advancement. It is therefore imperative to look for alternative sources of energy

Alternative Energy: The Source of the Future Danielle Hansen ENG 122 English Composition II Instructor: Jessica Ruddick October 4‚ 2010 This topic of this research paper is to discuss why we need to switch to alternative energy sources. Alternative energy sources are readily available‚ environmentally friendly‚ and cost effective. Unlike fossil fuels‚ there is an unlimited amount of resources‚ and a lot less pollution. Energy demands of our population are steadily rising

ESSAY ON ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY The law of conservation says that energy is neither created nor destroyed. When we use energy‚ it doesn’t disappear. We change it from one form of energy into another. A car engine burns gasoline‚ converting the chemical energy in gasoline into mechanical energy. Solar cells change radiant energy into electrical energy. Energy changes form‚ but the total amount of energy in the universe stays the same. Scientists at the Department of Energy think they have
