Part 1 Introduction What is your first thought of energy resources? Is it something that got to do with electricity? First of all‚ I would say that the energy system is not very sustainable because it can either be sustainable‚ or not sustainable. The energy resources used by mankind have grown dramatically and it is affecting the environment by leaving negative impact to the environment. Not only the government sector‚ but also the private sectors that are aware of the environment are trying

Project Background The Philippines remains as one of the best performing economies in Asia‚ as it grew 7.2% in 2013‚ which is better than the 6.8% growth posted in 2012. Its growth is based on consumption as well as growth in infrastructure investments – both public and private. Over the past two and a half decades‚ the institutions have been put in place and these include among others: restoration of democracy; transformation of telecommunications‚ public utilities (water and electricity)‚ transportation

How can a company build a culture inclusive of renewable energy through responsible fiscal and policy practices?: An Interdisciplinary Perspective Introduction As the world populates‚ a logical thought of environmental sustainment becomes a factor as with a larger population‚ a larger amount of waste follows. Several years have passed since initiatives to clean up the earth such as Save Our Planet‚ Earth Day and organizations committed to planting trees across the nation. While people are

Solar energy is significant in our lives and easy to use because sun is an inexhaustible supply. People are now trying to replace the energy sources with solar energy to keep earth clean and to save money. Solar energy is important in many different areas. Plants and animals use solar energy to continue their lives. Most of their cells need solar energy to produce nutrients. The importance of solar energy increased when people understood that they can convert it to convenient energy. Another fact

ways can renewable energy contribute to growth in Caribbean countries? Documentation style: APA High oil prices have negatively affected growth in Caribbean economies and with prices constantly rising‚ the way forward is clear. This is the use of renewable energy instead of oil‚ which will result in many positive effects on the Caribbean and the world at large. Renewable energy is obtained from natural resources‚ such as wind‚ geothermal heats and waves. Unlike oil‚ renewable energy is not scarce

WIND ENERGY Long time ago‚ ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today‚ more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade‚ wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still‚ it only provides a small fraction of the world ’s energy. Therefore‚ wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical

wind energy into electrical energy that is use to distribute to the homes of people. Benefits of a wind turbine: It does not release any harmful gases into the air when powered and it is also affordable in many different countries for supplying electricity to homes‚ by converting the wind energy to electricity for distribution. A hydropower is a production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy

Alternate Energy should be used more. Renewable energy creates three times more jobs then fossil fuels. Renewable energy is being used more in the world. People are realizing that fossil fuels are going to run out soon and that it is destroying the environment. And burning these things releases greenhouse gasses that is causing climate change. Alternate energy should be used more because burning fossil fuels is causing climate change‚ drilling oil is dangerous‚ and alternate energy is clean and renewable
