At present we rely on oil for most our energy needs. However‚ oil is a fosil fuel and causes air pollution‚ and it will eventually run out. Nuclear energy is the only practical and clean source of energy for the world. In what extend do you agree or disagree? Energy is the most important issue on the world nowadays. Oil was considered the most polular energy that people have ever known but it causes many serious worries include environment problems and runing out significantly. In several

Mother Earth is on the brink of total destruction brought about by pollution‚ irresponsible use of resources‚ and the excessive use of conventional fuel such as fossil fuel and nuclear energy. Part of the efforts to save our planet is to shift from using conventional fuels to alternative ones such as wind energy‚ solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ thermal‚ biogas and biodiesel‚ alcohol and gasohol‚ and agro/industrial wastes.

modern technology and science has played a significant role as measure to resolve energy crisis and global warming issues which resulted in life sustaining remedies and causes of mass destruction. However‚ many scientists agree that the earth’s fossil fuel supplies are dramatically depleting and this challenge will be a meaningful hurdle for future generations. Therefore‚ many countries may need to find new productive energy sources in order to tackle this problem. Many proponents of nuclear power suggest

------------------------------------------------- Are There Any Realistic Alternatives To Oil? While energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ it can be transformed between types. The main sources of energy on Earth are the fossil fuels‚ including coal‚ natural gas‚ and oil‚ and all of these are nonrenewable resources. Each of these were produced over a period of millions of years under the surface of the Earth‚ and it is not possible to renew these supplies. The main uses for the energy obtained from the fossil fuels include heating our homes

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and
