The Creation of a Sustainable Earth
The quest for lifelong power is what everyone seeks. I am not talking about power as strength, but power as energy. Currently, the world is running off many forms of power; however, the world seems to limit itself to three of the main forms: coal, oil, and natural gas (Jurich, 2015, pg. 32). Ever since the creation of mankind, the world has pushed to becoming more technologically advanced. This drive for success has caused for multiple increases in energy strategies including hydro, solar, geothermal, wind and multiple others (Kaya, Aksoy, Kose, 2017, pg. 65). The thing that makes these new sources so desirable is that they are renewable, environmental friendly alternatives (Kaya, Aksoy, Kose, 2017, pg.

1). So, why is solar energy not being used? Currently, solar energy accounts for 8 TWh, terawatt-hour, of the more than 10,000 TWh of electricity produced by the countries in the OECD, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Resch and Kaye, 2007, pg. 63). When comparing these two, energy produced by solar energy is less than one percent of their total energy use. Solar energy is a fantastic resource that is not being taken advantage of all around the world. Resch and Kaye (2007) state that “... these low- carbon technologies could provide more than 30 percent of the world’s energy supply in aggregate by 2040” (pg. 63). In addition, if the world switches to solar energy completely and only are able to harvest 10% of the energy actually emitted by the sun, that 10% of energy would equate to 200 times more than the energy obtained from fossil and hydroelectricity (Emetere, Akinyemi, Edeghe, 2016, pg. 2). Solar energy not only has the ability to produce very large amounts of energy and is more environmentally friendly, it is becoming more and more cost effective. The cost for solar energy is currently decreasing 10% every year (Jurich, 2015, pg. 32). Currently, single solar modules are 3-5 dollars per watt; however, if this technology gets more support and funding, it would be cost-competitive with the current energy cost for the United States (Resch and Kaye, 2007, pg. 63-64). Solar
Solar energy is a resource that can be utilized by any nation willing to invest in this natural resource. According to the research attained from the EPIA’s 2012 Photovoltaic Barometer report, and data attained from population numbers from Internet World Stats (IWS) and the GDP numbers come from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the top countries that utilize solar energy Sources are Germany, Italy and Belgium, (Shahan, 2013) whereas the top counties that trade with the United States are Canada, China Mexico Japan Germany and the United Kingdom.

What can be said about the accuracy of the historical references shown in the movie “Gladiator?” “Gladiator” is both accurate and inaccurate in its historical perception of the Roman Empire in AD 180, although there is a larger amount of inaccurate references than there is of accurate ones. This will be an evaluation of areas of the movie “Gladiator” that contain historical accuracies and inaccuracies in the portrayal of the Roman Empire. We will focus first on the inaccuracies and accuracies of Romans’ military strategies and weapons in “Gladiator,” followed by the historical events and important figures of the Roman Empire, and we will end with the politics and governmental structure of the Roman Empire. For instance, the last great battle
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kathy Schuler for a position within your organization. I formerly served as the liaison between Chesterfield County Public Schools and the Positive Vibe Café Training Program. From 2011 until 2014, I had the pleasure of working with Kathy in her position as the Training Director at the Positive Vibe Café in Richmond, Virginia and as a fellow Training Board member for the Positive Vibe Foundation.
Although some people may think hope was not an important factor during the Holocaust, hope was an important factor and a powerful force during the Holocaust, because hope helped to make people believe there was still a chance of survival and hope always helped during the worst situations. During the time of World War II, many of the prisoners of war had been through alot and some had given up on survival. But for tons of them, hope helped them to persevere through their toughest obstacles for survival and sometimes gave them life-changing miracles.
The Aztecs were ancient Native Americans that resided in southern Mexico, who believed in sun gods that would give a good harvest if they were appeased. One would notice how drastically different this is from the topic of Christianity. Yet I must explain how they have one thing in common, the self is what belongs to us as humans. However, this is seen in two very different ways.
I personally have seen house with solar panels and also you see them on calculators. They may be expensive but I believe they are worth it for the environment. In fact according to Eric McLamb, “Solar energy is having the most immediate impact on home energy needs, and is expected to provide the energy needs for one billion people by the middle of this century”. Which can in the nearer future increase the way people get they’re energy thus decrease the consumption of oil. According to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, “Solar power could provide energy for more than one billion people by 2020 and 26 percent of global energy needs by
Solar energy and its use isn’t new to the world. It has been used by various societies beginning from 7thCentury B.C, when the sun’s heat was concentrated by glass and mirrors to light fires. Today, we have everything from solar-powered buildings to solar-powered vehicles. By and large solar technology has some environmental, economic, psychological and ethical implications for our society. Actions taken by companies and individuals to increase the use of solar technology will create good local jobs, improve our environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil while doing what’s ethical and moral for our society.
Renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric are available but are not used often. I want us to put a limit on countries on how much non-renewable energy sources they can use. Only if we work together, help the other countries can we accomplish this. In fact, just today(1/24) Scotland has set a goal for using 50% renewable energy by 2030. I think that Scotland has set a realistic goal and that other countries should follow their lead. Non-renewable energy sources are bound to run out and when they do, we can either be ready by using renewable energy or have a global crisis. One of the best renewable energy sources currently is solar energy. Solar panels cost very little to install and have little to no maintenance. The sun provides us with more energy than we need. In fact, in just over an hour, the sun provides enough energy to run the world for an entire year. Even with the current 20% efficient solar panels, we could easily solve our energy problem. Therefore, by beginning to transition to solar energy today, we will be preventing a catastrophe of
When all of our natural fossil fuels are low or gone, solar energy will be one of the leading sources of energy that we will need in the future.
In conditions when both technologies and our needs require more and more energy, it is impossible to count only on natural resources and to think that their reserves are unlimited. This is not true. We have learned to receive electricity from irreplaceable resources – oil, gas, also from replenished - water, wind, sun. But the energy of the sun or wind is not enough for today’s rythm of our civilization. And hydroelectric and thermal power plants are not as clean and economical for the modern rhythm
Attention Getter: Let’s look ahead fifty years and see what the world is like. Imagine a world that is in total war with no end in sight. The cause behind this war is simple, oil. Everyone is fighting over those last few reserves of oil. How can this future be prevented? The answer is solar power.
In this day and age, we have new energy sources that could be used to power our homes and transportation. Wind and solar power are used all over the world, but are still used far less than fossil fuels. Most would say it’s not reliable or it doesn’t make any profit. While both statements are true, it doesn’t mean we can’t make a better future using renewable energy. In fact, the only reason we don’t use renewables for everything is that we don’t want to change. The hard truth is we need to change. Fossil fuels are great right now, but if we run out, humanity must have another source of energy.
Power, a commodity and much debated about topic today. Many take turning on a light or heater for granted. The problem is that fossil fuels won’t last forever and the solutions are a hot topic amongst the scientific community. Many different solutions have been offered, each with it’s pros and cons. Some scientists are arguing for clean and renewable energy like solar or wind, while others claim that we should find more effective ways of mining and using fossil fuels. Neither of these are a single solution that can power the world for an extended period of time. Many have ideas of how we should harness power, however, not many of them could be a permanent solution, unlike nuclear fission is a cleaner, safer, and more reliable solution.
Solar energy is an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Our planet has been experiencing an average increase in global temperatures. Slowly but surely our planet is deteriorating, unless we change our form of energy into a greener alternative. Deterioration of our planet may occur at a faster rate. The depletion of fossil fuels is detrimental to our environment. By substituting fossil fuels with the solar energy, our planet will benefit. These benefits include: reduced climate change, beneficial economic opportunities on both a large scale benefitting our government and on a smaller scale helping individuals decrease their energy bills, and solar energy is renewable and sustainable.
