University of Phoenix Material Fossil Fuels and Alternative Energy Resource Worksheet Using the textbooks‚ the University Library‚ or other resources‚ answer each of the following questions in 150 to 200 words. 1. Select a fossil fuel. How is this fossil fuel used? What are the adverse effects on the environment? Orimulsion. This is a fossil fuel that has just began to become popular as recent as 1980. It is used as commercial boiler fuel in power plants‚ and could also be used as a substitute

How important is it to explore alternative forms of energy? Energy is the source of life. Energy that we gain from food helps us to survive. It implies that food is a source of energy for us. The vehicles that we use‚ the industries that manufacture different products are all dependant on some kind of energy source. The source may be electricity or fossil fuel but it is clear that everything needs an energy source to run. In the old days firewood was the energy source. After the invention of automobiles

look into the still tiny alternative energy market. In a minimum of fifty years fossil fuels‚ which include petroleum (oil)‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ will all run out. Alternative energy is a renewable and the most productive type of energy for the USA and the world (United States. Department of Energy). Every person on this planet is provided with a dirty and unforgiving energy source‚ fossil fuels. Fossil fuels destroy and tarnish the once beautiful world. Alternative energy could slowing bring back

source‚ which can provide them energy reliably. Technological developments in the MEMS industry have lead to miniaturization of many of the transducer systems. With this effort‚ the power consumption of these devices has been reduced to the order of W to mW level. These developments have opened a new source for supplying energy to these micro systems as an alternative to batteries‚ which have a finite life and are large in size. Researchers are working on alternative energy sources like solar‚ thermal

Alternative Energy: The Source of the Future Danielle Hansen ENG 122 English Composition II Instructor: Jessica Ruddick October 4‚ 2010 This topic of this research paper is to discuss why we need to switch to alternative energy sources. Alternative energy sources are readily available‚ environmentally friendly‚ and cost effective. Unlike fossil fuels‚ there is an unlimited amount of resources‚ and a lot less pollution. Energy demands of our population are steadily rising

How can alternative sources of energy be harnessed effectively? With the development of economy and society‚ existing energy sources have been hard to meet the increasing market demands. due to the lack of fossil fuels and environmental problems‚ an increasing number of people pay more attention to alternative energies because they are directly related to the future economic and social development. Therefore‚ this essay will discuss how to harness alternative sources of energy effectively‚ with

essential difference between alternative energies (AE) and fossil fuels? Alternative energies will not have a lot of pollution‚ but fossil fuels will cause some pollution of the environment. Some fossil fuels causes environmental pollution‚ for example‚ global climate change‚ a lot of carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect‚ acid rain emissions of harmful gases cause serious pollution to the atmosphere. 2/ name the AE that you have chosen to research.

Almost every country stood by and watched as the bombs made by the simple process of fission of two atomic particles produced enough power to destroy

Energy crisis has become one of the major problem all over the world‚ Especially the developed world needs more energy‚ countries like USA‚ consumes 5times more energy than the rest of the world‚ however the developing countries like India and China are also in raise of energy consumptions‚ and these consumptions will increase. Even though fossil fuels were satisfying the people needs all these years‚ the emissions from it‚ called the green house gasses results in Global Warming‚ which has become
