All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants. It would utilize existing resources to enhance the lives of the total population by producing all necessities of life and providing a high standard of living for all. It uses technology to overcome scarce resources by applying clean sources of energy‚ cybernation‚ designing energy-efficient

As a member of the Home Owner’s Association I believe that it is extremely important for us to educate our community about the importance of energy conservation. Teaching the community that energy is not a right but a privilege will educate‚ empower‚ and make us aware of the importance of reserving our resources. I strongly

Revolution of the 19th century ushered in new technologies. The spurt in inventions in that century was unprecedented in many ways. Some of these inventions involved use of natural resources like coal and oil. The thought of exhaustible nature of these resources and the environmental damage from the use of these resources never occurred either to the inventors or the subsequent generations. In the quest to sustain galloping economic activity‚ the dependence on coal and oil has soared at a phenomenal

Hydropower is a renewable energy source which is produced by the movement of water. The energy produced can be stored and utilized for various operations. By drawing inspiration from existing hydroelectric technologies‚ but implemented on a much smaller scale‚ we believe that enough energy can be produced to support disadvantaged communities in the wake of the recent tariff increase. As aspiring engineers‚ we are keen on using our creative problem solving skills to make a difference. In recent years

The energy that is used today comes from fossil fuels‚ which is a nonrenewable limited resource that will eventually be used up. Alternative energy sources such as solar‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal and wind energies can be used‚ to conserve the planets limited natural resources. Alternative energy is the use of another energy without the burning of fossil fuels and break up on atoms. Solar energy can be used to operate cars and provide electricity for homes and businesses.

In today’s generation people are utilising the oil resources at a rapid and fast speed‚due to which the oil resources don’t get much time to get renewed again. Oil helps in many factors of household needs as well as for the technical and economical development of a country and if these resources get exhausted then many of these activities will come to a halt.
