CheckPoint: Energy Resource Challenges Catherine Forbes SCI/275 August 31‚ 2012 University of Phoenix CheckPoint: Energy Resource Challenges “Nonrenewable energy resources include coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas.” However‚ they are nonrenewable‚ meaning that these resources cannot be regenerated. There are alternatives‚ though‚ that can be used in their stead; some of which are wind turbines‚ solar energy‚ ethanol‚ hydropower‚ geothermal energy‚ biomass energy‚ and ocean energy.

and Nonrenewable Energy Energy can be explained as having the ability to do work. There are many forms of energy potential‚ electrical‚ chemical and magnetic just to name a few. Energy is used for everything an individual must do from preparing a meal to launching a rocket. There are two general categories of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that has been saved waiting to be discharged including chemical‚ electrical and magnetic. Kinetic energy is energy that

Mineral Resources? * Nonrenewable Resources: a concentration of naturally occurring material in or on the earth’s crust that can be extracted and processed at an affordable cost. Non-renewable resources are mineral and energy resources such as coal‚ oil‚ gold‚ and copper that take a long period of time to produce. * Metallic Mineral Resources – iron‚ copper‚ aluminum * Nonmetallic Mineral Resources – salt‚ gypsum‚ clay‚ sand‚ phosphates‚ water and soil. * Energy resource: coal‚ oil

Energy conservation helps ensure available resources for future generations and also helps prevent pollution. Most of our current energy sources today are not renewable‚ which means that they will eventually deplete. 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

Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils‚ coal ‚ and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ‚such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume
