friendly tips on reducing your carbon footprint‚ from greening your vacations to recycling‚ reducing your energy use at home to helping promote sustainable forestry. 1. Eat less meat‚ and eat more vegetables. Cattle are one of the largest producers of methane‚ a gas that helps contribute to global warming. Cut back on the meat‚ and you’ll be contributing to less methane. 2. Use a more energy efficient vehicle to reduce emissions and oil use. The Toyota Prius always tops the list of most efficient

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

Nuclear Power Debate Year 11 Physics Gurjyot Singh Australia currently has no nuclear facilities generating electricity‚ which is forcing the Australian Government to look towards nuclear energy as a great alternative. Nuclear energy is a growing controversial topic in Australia; because the demands of utilizing electricity are increasing rapidly. According to a recent study‚ Australia has 23% of the world’s uranium deposits and is the second largest producer of uranium

saving us on energy cost. The most effective way most people know to save money is to by products or appliances that are made to save energy. I also believe that if we all would drive hybrid cars it would help enormously with our pollution in the air and on our lands and water systems. If every one would drive hybrids and electric cars we would not have problems like the one we are having now in the Gulf of Mexico. Another significant way to save money is solar energy‚ and wind energy.

DCS cools multiple users through underground piping network applying environmentally friendly energy sources like central chilling plant. Over the past decade‚ India’s economy has seen unprecedented growth‚ which has given rise to an increase in energy demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The availability of clean and affordable energy and electricity has

Illinois has eleven nuclear power plants‚ which is the largest one out of thirty-one states. According to Encyclopedia of Energy‚ Alok Kumar‚ “There are one hundred and four operational nuclear power plants in the United States‚ providing nineteen percent of the total electricity‚ which amounts to approximately 100‚000 mw.” Since there are a few states left that do not have power plants‚ maybe they could raise money and build some nuclear power plants and then that would also help the U.S. in reducing

material is at a very cool temperature. Resistance becomes undesirable because it produces losses in the energy flowing through the material. Resistance creates heat which is why‚ when the material is cooled‚ the resistance will no longer be an included factor in the flow of electricity. Due to there being no resistance that means there is no loss in energy. Superconductivity creates much more energy than a normal conductor. If a current can be superconducting its flow of electricity will remain continuous
