common? They are all powered by fuel sources. The most popular being fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are dead plant and animal matter that has been compressed and heated over millions of years. They are burned to create heat‚ which in turn creates energy. However‚ with heavy industrialization (agricultural and manufacturing)‚ transportation‚ and personal energy use‚ our world’s fossil fuel supplies are rapidly depleting. Even more‚ fossil fuels pollute our environment. Scientists are on the search for alternative

to the use of renewable sources of energy." "Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished"(LLC‚2014). Natural resources such as sunlight‚ rain‚ tides‚ ocean‚ wind‚ heat‚ biomass‚ geothermal‚ fossil- are naturally replenished. There are many natural energy resources which are limited in supply such as natural gas‚ oil‚ coal. But these sources only can fulfil our demands for next fifty to sixty years. As alternative to these energy there is renewable

the earth’s surface and the oceans is directly proportionate to the concentration of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In the last one hundred years‚ the concentration of these gases has increased tremendously due to large scale burning of fossil fuels and rapid industrialization. This has accelerated global warming‚ which in the future will lead to the submergence of land masses into the sea‚ extinction of certain vegetation and wildlife‚ and the

for climate change due to its role in climate change. Undue emission of injurious greenhouse gases into atmosphere is causing a raise in average temperature that in turn is affecting the climate on Earth (What is climate change‚ 2001). The use of fossil fuels as a dominant aspect is continuing to emit CO2 and other greenhouse gases into atmosphere that is causing even more grave effects to climate change. With the rise in temperature globally effects like severe changes in weather patterns‚ climbing

wrong. There are two main sides to the argument of the cause of global warming; those who believe that global warming is just a natural phase in the climatic habits of earth‚ and those who believe humans are the direct cause through the burning of fossil fuels and other processes. Each side of the debate provides much scientific evidence that proves there point. In an article released by the Dept. of Commerce‚ NASA claims "...the solar increases do not have the ability to cause large global temperature

help reduce global warming by decreasing the amount of coal that is burned which further allows us to reline on the electric roads. "Everyone has power. No more power shortages‚ no more roaming power outages‚ no more need to burn coal. Less need for fossil fuels and less dependency upon foreign oil and much less pollution (solar roadways)". This proves that it reduces global warming because if we install these electric roads we wouldn’t need to burn as much coal as we do now. You ask why? Well the roads

Good evening Governor‚ today I will discuss an important matter that has recently come to my attention‚ and many others as well. Many of American citizens‚ both civilians and those of various political stances‚ are very ambiguous on the topic of nuclear power. You are planning on building a nuclear power plant in East Pennsboro Township. I think that the idea of this is grand and a fantastic way for us to incorporate different styles and methods of energy in our community. T.M.I. has been safely

In comparison to the forty to eighty gigatons of carbon loss‚ a small one ton of increase in soil carbon pool has the potential to enhance food security and ultimately even reduce fossil fuels emissions by 0.4 to 1.2 gigatons a year‚ in other words by five to fifteen percent of the global fossil fuel emissions. ............................................................................................................................................

When you buy an offset‚ you fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions Tidal & Wave Energy: Pros Wave Energy does not produce any GHG emissions or cause air pollution from the combustion of fossil fuels unlike coal‚ oil or gas. Wave Energy does not require any fuel like most other sources of energy. Wave Energy does not lead to pollution disasters like the BP Oil Spill and Coal Deaths which are directly related to Dirty Energy Production
