Introduction and Background Introduction Green energy can be referred as energy production that is not just better than fossil fuel but this energy is friendly to the environment also. Green energy comes from natural sources as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ plants‚ algae and geothermal heat. Waste incineration also can be a source of green energy. Green energy is often outlined as power source that do not pollute and are replenish-able. Green energy is very good to replace fossil fuels that take

Conclusion The growth of human being has travelled a long journey. It was the greatest achievement of primitive man when he discovered fire with the help of a stone. With this human history moved very fast. Later on a number discoveries and inventions were made which changed human life completely. Energy is such a great invention which made

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 in order to

Energy is needed by the body to stay alive‚ grow‚ keep warm and move around. Energy is provided by food and drink. It comes from the fat‚ carbohydrate‚ protein and alcohol the diet contains. Energy requirements vary from one individual to the next‚ depending on factors such as age‚ sex‚ body composition and physical activity level. Energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at complete rest)‚ the thermic effect of food (TEF‚ the energy required

World energy consumption World energy consumption in 2010: over 5% growth [6] Energy markets have combined crisis recovery and strong industry dynamism . Energy consumption in the G20 soared by more than 5% in 2010‚ after the slight decrease of 2009. This strong increase is the result of two converging trends. Onthe one-hand‚ industrialized countries‚ which experienced sharp decreases in energy demand in 2009‚ recovered firmly in 2010‚ almost coming back to historical trends. Oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ and

Running Off the Beaten Path Section I Old energy‚ that which comes from fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources‚ is now outdated. The costs are becoming tremendous and despite their reliability in the past cannot be depended upon for consistency or reliability. Contemporarily‚ efficiency is most important; getting the most out of everything we use. Most official energy forecasts assume massive growth rates in energy demand (Anderson). Renewables won ’t succeed unless we do efficiency first

Geothermal Energy Right now our country and planet as a whole‚ is in an energy crisis. Our non-renewable resources are running out. Oil is at outrageous prices and our economy is suffering. The people of this planet need to start looking for an alternative energy source because our fossil fuels will not last forever. Geothermal energy is one of many different ways we can preserve our fossil fuels. Geothermal energy is better for the environment because it does not involve burning and can not

Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity By James Folta Electricity is what we use to power things at home or at school. You can probably look around right now and see an electrical outlet or two. Everything that we plug into one of these outlets uses electricity. But where does this electricity come from? Right now we have a few ways to make electricity. Some are better than others. There are some scientists who are trying to find

Application of Energy ------------------------------------------------- Forms of energy Main article: Forms of energy Energy exists in many forms: Heat‚ a form of energy‚ is partly potential energy and partly kinetic energy. In the context of physical sciences‚ several forms of energy have been defined. These include: * Thermal energy‚ thermal energy in transit is called heat * Chemical energy * Electric energy * Radiant energy‚ the energy of electromagnetic radiation *
