Renewable Sources Of Energy And Energy

Alternative energies are the future of power. They will be the power that will sustain human life until the end. This is why the United States government should invests more towards the research and use of alternative energies. Alternative energies are any energy that will replace fossil fuels. Some common alternative energies are solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, hydrogen, and biofuels. The U.S. should use those alternative energies over fossil fuels, Petroleum (oil), coal, and natural gas. We currently have ways to store and use these types of energies but the ways we have are not the most effective. That is why the U.S. should fund the research of better ways to harvest and use these alternative energies.

Everyone uses a lot of power for lighting, heating, machines, movements, and so much more. All of that energy has to come from an energy supply. Some energy resources are renewable, while others are non-renewable. Energy has various forms and is a very essential part of our everyday lives.

In the past hundred years we have been relying on fossil fuel as the major sources of energy, until now people are starting to see what harms fossil fuel does to our environment, and people are staring to see that we are running out of this sources, but likely with the advancement of technology scientist have been able to find something that will replace fossil fuel, and help clean our environment. This replacement are Alternative energy sources. These sources can be described as energy that will be less harmful to the environment as well as humans, cheap, and comes from sources that we won't run out of. One of the most popular source of alternative energy is solar energy. Solar power is the energy

Alternative resources for energy are being used instead of fossil fuels being used .Fossil fuels create greenhouse gases which accumulate in the atmosphere and harms it. Some alternative options for getting energy are using solar, hydro, and wind power. Not only are these alternatives better for the environment they can still be used when fossil fuels run out.

Alternative energy is energy that will not use up all of our resources and will not harm the environment. With alternative energy they stand clear of using fossil fuels and nuclear power. There are many forms of alternative energy which include; biomass, solar, wind, wave and tidal. Biomass is a form of energy that is naturally organic, and converts plants to a fuel to which then it is noted as a potential source of energy. One specific fuel that is clean and can be helpful to the environment is biodiesel. Biodiesel is good for because it does not emit harmful chemicals into the environment. This fuel is natural and uses plants, vegetables, and other materials that are reusable. This fuel is growing in popularity and has reason to.

Alternative energy has been an option as an energy source for a few years now. Unfortunately, there were a significant amount of obstacles that it has had to overcome, or that it is still having to overcome. The obstacles range from the lack of efficiency of alternative energy, fossil fuels being more efficient than alternative energy, and the subpar technological advancements. There are situations where alternative energy is useful and should be considered. Although alternative energy has not always been a reliable energy source, today it is more efficient than in the past, and is a clean alternative to fossil fuels.

Over current years, the issue of the world’s energy sources has come to the fore. Coal and oil, the main two sources of energy, are being depleted at an alarming rate which is resulting in nations and multinational corporations investigating alternative sources of energy.

Alternative energy can be defined as Energy, as solar, wind, or nuclear energy, that can replace or supplement traditional fossil-fuel sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When thinking about alternative energy sources we generally focus on the main types: nuclear, solar, wind, and hydroelectric. These are things that mainly do not cause pollution and are very environmentally friendly (Alternative Energy). Alternative energy is thought to be renewable and “free.” Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, and Hydroelectric Energy all have very low carbon emissions compared to the conventional energy sources (Alternative Energy). With using the alternative energy route instead of conventional energy sources, we can help to keep this earth going for a very long time.

The fact that 86% of our energy comes from nonrenewable, polluting, costly fossil fuels and only 14% is renewable is diabolical. Why must we harm our environment to contribute to our energy production when renewable energy sources are so abundantly present so that we may be symbiotic with nature? To lessen our environmental impact and be able to avoid the high expenses of non-renewable fossil fuels in the near future it should be obvious that we start to use more renewable energy sources than we do nonrenewable resources for apparent reasons. It’s the only answer, as we have already contributed to the now unstoppable melt of the glaciers in Antarctica soon to raise the sea level, according to scientist, four feet higher (Coghlan "Collapse of Antarctic Glaciers").

In the current state, most of the world is using fossil fuels, which are nonrenewable sources. Fossil fuels are cheap and limited. They will soon be depleted. The world needs to find a source of energy that is not only renewable but sustainable. Sustainable Energy is usually associated with renewable energy. This is because renewable energy is a continuous source. However, the sustainability of each of different types of renewable energy vary. Sustainable energy means that amount of energy that is used, is also generated. The idea of sustainability means essentially that overall the plant or building is net zero. A net zero building would greatly prolong further damage to the Earth.

This essay seeks to identify a number of challenges which are encountered when trying to identify what a sustainable source of energy is. To do this, it first briefly states ways in which the term ‘sustainable energy’ has been interpreted by various bodies and individuals and ways in which people seek to identify an energy source which is ‘truly’ sustainable. This essay seeks to point out the flaw in classifying all renewable sources of energy as being sustainable.It will achieve this by comparing two energy related projects, proving how sustainable a non-renewable source can be and vice versa. Lastly, it will prove ways in which different people’s misconceptions can affect further progress with these energy related projects.

The constant increase and release of carbon dioxide emissions into our environment have drastic effects on our environment. These greenhouse gases warm the earth impacting its naturally occurring events and processes, such as acid rain, destruction of natural habitats, and even influencing the natural flow of the currents in our oceans. The goal has been to create diverse methods of generating powerful, dependable energy sources that do not have negative repercussions on our environment. Alternative energy refers to sources that do not create undesired consequences, such as fossil fuels do (Alternative Energy 2015). Not only are emissions from fossil fuels concerning, but also these resources are not going to be available for our use forever, making changes for alternative energy sources a pressing topic of discussion.

In recent years there has been great concern over the growing demand for energy, and the

Alternative energy is a term used for an energy source that is an alternative to using fossil fuels. Generally, it indicates energies that are non-traditional and have low environmental impact. The term alternative is used to contrast with fossil fuels according to some sources. By most definitions alternative energy doesn 't harm the environment, a distinction which separates it from renewable energy which may or may not have significant environmental impact.

Nowadays, with the continuous increase in the demand for energy consumption resulted by both population and socioeconomic growth, making it a priority to satisfy such a demand for all developed countries. This report aims initially to focus on the energy situation in the United Kingdom, and then present two forms of energy conventional energy in specific coal, and renewable energy which is wind energy, and will finally recommend the most suitable one after comparing and contrasting them considering both the cost and environment in different aspects.
