The problem of clean energy plants is‚ that they are not really efficient and storable‚ moreover they need to satisfy certain geographical prerequisites. Wind farms‚ solar fields and pumped storage hydro power stations cannot be installed anywhere. Furthermore‚ their

fuels and natural gases everyone uses to provide electricity and power. What will happen when these resources run out? There are resources everyone can use to substitute the non-renewable resources. Renewable Energy Technology is important because the world right now relies on fossil fuels and nuclear power to make electricity. Depending on fossil fuels and nuclear power is hazardous to the climate and can be very unhealthy. Wind‚ Solar‚ Bio-energy and Geo-thermal are renewable energy resources

renewable sources of energy. The term renewable refers to sources of energy‚ such as solar‚ wind‚ geothermal and hydroelectric as some of them‚ that are related to a natural resource which is replenished. Moreover‚ renewables are clean‚ friendly to the environment and they do not produce emissions. However‚ this energy transmission is not an easy assignment. Vaclav Smil‚ in his “The Long Slow and Rise of Solar and Wind”‚ makes a strong claim that this energy transition to renewables is challenging for several

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

energy is energy from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ these resources are naturally replenished. Renewable energy does not harm the environment or deplete any of our natural resources like fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not subject to sharp price changes because it comes from natural resources. Biomass is currently the largest U.S. renewable energy source with more than two hundred existing bio power plants providing energy for one point five million American

to fossil fuel‚ we will also look at the costs and benefits. Reusable‚ clean energy can come from solar power‚ wind power or even hydro power‚ which all come from the environment. However‚ as these types of energy are produced‚ far less pollution is being generated. In 2009‚ the State of Maryland‚ signed a contract to purchase 23 percent of the state’s energy consumption from a nearby wind farm (The Associated Press‚ 2009). This contract not only eliminated a portion of the pollution caused by

Japan Should Use Renewable Energy Rather Than Nuclear Power To Japanese government and citizens who live near nuclear power plants in Japan‚ do you want your next generation to be handicapped? If you don’t‚ get away from there or suspend nuclear power plants. Do you think it’s safe to live near nuclear power plants? I don’t think so‚ especially if you are living in Japan. Japan should use safe renewable energies‚ such as geothermal energy‚ wind energy‚ solar energy‚ and so on. I recommend that
