This Cynical Journalist Inherit the Wind is an intense drama written by Robert E. Lee and Jerome Lawrence based on the John Scopes trial of 1925. In this story‚ Bert Cates is put on trial for going against the Tennessee law prohibiting the Evolutionary theory of the creation of mankind being taught in schools. With the trial being held in Hillsboro‚ most of the people at the event were against Bert Cates with it being so unorthodox. Some people though‚ shared Bert Cates’s logic. E.K. Hornbeck‚ a

SC300-05: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutations Laurie Leet October 24‚ 2014 Energy is defined as the ability to do work‚ such as propel the body forward by taking a step (motion). Energy and its ability to do work are measured in joules: power (watts) x time (seconds) and work joules = force (newtons) x distance (Trefil et al‚ 2010). Energy exists in many forms; kinetic (motion or movement)‚ potential (stored)‚ thermal/heat (atoms and molecules)‚ wave and mass (Trefil et al‚ 2010) to name

The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Another cause of these emissions is the burning of gasoline for transportation‚ which continues to increase because of our demand for cars and also our increasing worldwide

are looking at a society that is far more primitive than the one to which we have been accustomed. Global Energy Consumption: In 2008‚ total worldwide energy consumption was 474 exajoules (474×1018 J=132‚000 TWh). This is equivalent to an average power use of 15 terawatts (1.504×1013 W). The entire world’s economy is based on oil and other fossil fuels. These provide fuel‚ lubricants‚ asphalt‚ paint‚ plastics‚ fertilizer‚ and many other products. In 1850‚ before commercial production began‚ there

sometimes‚ yet it still stands out as the solution for the energy needs of the future with respect to a safer environment. Renewable energy is really important for the Earth’s safety and cleanliness. Energy that is obtained from solar radiation‚ water‚ wind‚ and geothermal energy is from nature. All those forms of energy are considered as renewable means because we can use them over and over again without harming the ozone layer and without causing pollution. For example solar energy‚ which is from the

major forms of renewable energy are solar energy‚ wind energy and biomass energy (Bio Fuels). Each type of renewable energy has advantages and disadvantages which are specific to that type of alternative energy. For example Solar and Wind are intermittent in nature while Geothermal Energy has no such problems however Geothermal Energy suffers from a lack of good sites and takes a long time to become installed. Plus cost too is a major factor. Solar Power has been the fastest rising energy cause in the

These fuels are used to generate electricity. Coal and natural gas are not renewable resources. Our country needs to start looking into wind‚ solar and bio mass resources before the nonrenewable resources are gone.

oil is scheduled to run out in 100 years‚ and coal in about 1000 years‚ which is why finding efficient forms of renewable energy is crucial to maintaining the current levels of fossil fuels. Alternatives to coal and oil include resources such as: wind‚ solar‚ hydro‚ wood‚ and biomass. All of these energies are renewable and a great replacement for fossil fuels. Around the world‚ these types of energies are being used‚ but are not as widespread or efficient enough for us to depend on to slow down
