Origin Energy

Have you ever wondering where your electricity comes from? How your car uses gasoline to run? What about how these things impact our environment or how we are going to keep producing them? As a country, we need to start looking ahead to the future and planning for what is to come. Currently, 86% of America’s energy comes from petroleum, natural gas, and coal. All of these resources will run out eventually. We need renewable energy sources that will keep producing in a clean, more efficient way for a long time. Before committing to an idea and going all the way with it, we need to compare all the different energy sources available to the U.S. and choose the one that is best for everyone.

In todays world the demand for more energy to power peoples electronic filled lives is ever growing. Nations around the world are looking for ways to supply this much called for energy and are asking the question “should they make the move from traditional energy sources and turn to more renewable alternatives?” American has answered this question and is among the nations pursuing alternative energy sources.

Fossil fuels and other power generates are slowly changing the world. Alternative power sources are slowly becoming more popular in everyday life while the technology progresses. Using these power sources that don’t pollute the atmosphere could be the change in the world that completely changes the way the world uses energy. Engineers and technicians have been producing these alternative ways for years and years. A few, but not limited to consist of: Solar panels, Wind turbines, Wave tech and much more.

With renewable sources and energy conservation becoming more prominent, there is a lower electricity usage. Many energy utilities are starting to take a hit because most of their income comes from customer charges. Companies have started to phase out charging customers based on electric usage and have switched to a fixed monthly fees that are at least $25 more per month. It is believed that companies should increase their fees by 1% every year to maintain the grid but since profit is decreasing, they are looking into a much higher fee. Vice President of the Edison Foundation, Lisa Wood, told the Wall Street Journal that there needs to be more money put into the electricity grid because of how complex it has

As technology advances over the years, we have experienced and noticed that the trend in how payment are received have shift tremendously. Twenty years ago, check was the preferred way of payment. In today’s world, more and more payments are done by credit cards. Credit card transactions are instance that provides a faster payment method.

Each year the cost of designing, building, and maintaining renewable energy infrastructure and technology decreases. This trend is most prominently visible in the solar and wind industries which have both “seen stock prices jump since Congress approved an extension of tax credits for renewables” in late 2015 (Warrick). One cause for the renewable industry’s growth is the influx of investors. In November 2015, Goldman Sachs “quadruple[d] its investments in renewables to $150 billion,” a trend that has only become more prevalent in 2017 (Warrick). Part of the strong appeal of renewable energy is that it pays itself off over time. Instead of paying an electric bill every month, year after year, one can pay to have solar panels installed, that while initially expensive, never require additional payments. Not only are they free after the initial payment, some electric companies pay customers for installing panels and investing in clean energy. Many people complain that renewables produce far less power per dollar than coal, natural gas, and oil. While this may be true, the gap is quickly closing as renewable technology improves and prices drop. The convenience of only needing to pay once for renewable infrastructure far outweighs the greater power output that non-renewables provide for

The obstacles that the First Energy Power Company is involved is a cleaner form of energy.

With the increasing Australia’s population the demand for reliable energy to support our power needs now and into the future is escalating, with majority of the Australia’s energy depending solely on coal power with concerns arising on whether this is the best option for Australia’s future or focus more on harnessing green renewable energy. This essay will argue that green energy is the best option over coal power, for the world and Australia’s future, such as solar and wind. The biggest challenge though will be finding a way in being able to harness the resources nature provides to support the growing demand.

The Ullman, Manly, & Ulysses Corporation (UMUC) has grown substantially in the past decade. It has grown from one location and a few local customers to the international provider it is today. The 250 employees serve more than 75,000 customers worldwide from four

Threat from Buyers Consumers hold much power today due to the economy but I forecast no negative issues in this category. A large majority of Company G’s buyers are repeat customers who place great value on our products, our service, and our reputation. As long as Company G continues to produce quality products with features that appeal to current customers as well as potential customers we will succeed in the small appliance market as we have done with our other electronics.

As a first world country, Australia is one of the main counties that use tons and tons of electricity. 73% of Australian community uses the electricity generated from Coal and 13% of the Australian community uses the electricity produced using natural gas and only the other 14% uses renewable energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy etc. Therefore a majority of Australians use non-renewable energy sources. The total amount of energy used by the Australian community is around 226.9 billion kWh per year. Therefore, 195.134 billion kWH of energy is generated from non-renewable energy and only 31.766 billion kWH of energy is generated by renewable energy in Australia. To produce the total amount of energy

Nowadays, there are two fastest growing sources of renewable energy which are wind and solar that produce intermittent supplies of energy. People tend to demand from energy more than before. Renewable energy in Australia deals with efforts being made in Australia to quantify and expand renewable energy, which includes electricity, transport fuels and thermal energy. Total renewable energy consumption in Australia in 2015 was 346 Joules(PJ), representing 5.9% of Australia's total energy consumption.(2015 Australian Energy Statistics) This is an increase of 1.6% from 2011–12 levels (265 PJ), representing 4.3% of Australia's total energy consumption.(2013 Australian Energy Update) The energy consumption increases is not only due to the rate

Buyer (Very High Bargaining Power): The individual buyer segment is the largest of the three segments of the credit card customer market. The threat that the buyers represent is their ability to force prices and quality down. Furthermore, due to the plethora of alternative products the switching cost for the customer is very low, as noted in this case, buyers possess a high bargaining power which results in higher operating costs resulting in a deduction of profits.

Generating and supplying more green energy in the US can have a big impact in the environment and in our economy. With more green energy resources a big amount disasters that affect our environment can be reduced. Such disasters include oil spills, nuclear leaks and the emission of harmful pollutants. Electric power plants are one of the biggest contributors to pollution in the country due to the amount of carbon and sulfur dioxides that are released into the air. Carbon dioxide emitted into the air is confirmed to contribute to global warming and sulfur dioxide causes acid rain, which can kill plants and animals in lakes and rivers. In comparison, green energy is generated in much more natural and harmless methods that don’t affect our environment. Renewable energy wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass provides substantial benefits for our climate, and our health.

According to the case study written by Jurek, Bras, Guldberg, D’Arcy, Oh, and Biller, energy costs were steadily rising and were predicted to continue this trend going into the future. At the same time, utility companies were beginning to implement Smart Grid technologies to increase the efficiency of energy distribution. One resulting program to emerge from
