manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to grow exponentially‚ which poses a huge challenge to these diminishing

is renewable energy? Why is everyone out there concerned about the future of renewable energy? Well‚ the answers are not as tough as we would have expected‚ nor do they require a lot of action in order to succeed. Our planet is dependent upon us to keep it thriving‚ and the best way to do that is to switch over to renewable energy. Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides and geothermal heat‚ which may be naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies

TRADITIONAL ENERGY SOURCES SIDE BY SIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES: WHICH ONE IS MORE LIKELY TO WIN THE BATTLE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING DECADES? Assuming that the energy is a vital asset for the human being‚ it’s really hard to answer this question‚ because both of them have advantages and disadvantages. When I read for the first time this question I immediately thought that renewable energy sources would win‚ but then I realize that it can’t‚ because this kind of energy is not able to generate

Renewable energy Renewable energy is any source of energy that doesn ’t consume the finite resources of the Earth and can be easily and quickly replenished. At present only a small proportion of the world ’s energy needs come from alternative and renewable energy sources. These exist in many forms including Solar Thermal‚ Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies

huge debate whether using renewable energy is beneficial to our environment or not. The biggest source of our energy has been sourced by coal‚ oil and natural gasses. Some researchers believe that there are many benefits of using renewable energy and that we should be concerned with seeking environmentally friendly alternatives instead. Not only are these sources harmful‚ they will eventually deplete our natural resources. The goal is to find pollution-free renewable energy that can offer a better

the World with Renewable Energy For the longest people around the world have been trying to use renewable energy to help the planet. The energy system of the 20th century is based primarily on the use of fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas). These represented in 2008‚ 81% of all energy consumed‚ the remaining 19% originated in “traditional biomass”. (8%) used mainly in developing countries‚ nuclear (6%) large hydropower (2%) which are a renewable source of energy‚ and new renewable (3%) which includes

Renewable Energy Sources are defined renewable non-fossil energy sources including wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ wave‚ tidal‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ landfill gas‚ sewage treatment plant gas and biogases. In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have
