We know electricity is a form of energy and energy is the ability to perform work or make things happen‚ we also know there are several sources of energy and “wind” happens to be one of those sources. Since “wind” is simply air in motion‚ what then is “wind energy” and how can we generate electricity from it? Well‚ based on my research‚ wind energy is the result of the sun’s energy interacting with the earth’s surfaces. It is also an ideal renewable energy source that is infinitely sustainable;

Energy from nuclear sources is revolutionizing how we power our homes‚ but is it good for the environment? Pondering countless people’s minds is whether it should stay open‚ since Three Mile Island (TMI) is shutting down in 2019. TMI should say goodbye because of 3 main reasons. Three Mile Island is too much work‚ it can cause accidents‚ and it is not helping the earth. Plant owners spend numerous amounts of money to produce nuclear energy to power houses. Mining the uranium to build and run the

Furthermore‚ nuclear power work in a same way like other power plants work‚ but instead of using coal or gas to generate heat‚ they use nuclear fission reactions. A fission reaction is a heavy nucleus that split suddenly with another particle to release energy. Mostly‚ the heat from the nuclear reactions convert water into steam‚ which drives turbines that produce electricity. However‚ nuclear fission

“Kilowatt Ours” Please answer the following questions. 1. What’s the cheapest and easiest way to obtain coal? They remove the mountains. 2. Is nuclear power a “green” form of energy? Why or why not? No it is very polluting and creates lots of radioactive waste (but some people think its clean energy). 3. How has Great Smoky Mountains National Park been affected by air pollution? There is so much pollution (from sulfate from power plants mostly) makes it hard to see out and

Hydroelectric energy is produced by water turning a turbine to generate electricity. Hydroelectric offers a great amount of energy from a renewable source. Hydroelectric is the most common alternative energy source currently in use in the world. A hydroelectric dam is complex and hard to set up. To create a hydroelectric plant‚ it typically takes a large river with a steep drop in elevation. The greater the drop and amount of water‚ the more electricity is generated from the greater potential energy the
