The economy of Texas is currently ranked as the second largest in the United States. A trend of upward economic growth has been recorded in the years following the collapse of the market in 2008. In addition to an overall economic expansion, the population growth rate in Texas is among the highest in the nation. It has been projected that Texas will be home to roughly 50 million people by 2050, an increase of 20 million from 2017 (Hoque et. al, 2014). Closely mimicking the economic and population growth, is the consumption of electricity. On a national level, Texans used more power per capita than any other state. Regulations regarding the environment, in addition to other market pressures, have forced

Our group is planning to incorporate many different innovative energy, park, and transportation solutions into our city. One of these solutions is the Hyperloop, which currently is an experimental travel solution that costs four billion dollars less than the proposed California high-speed electric train plan (10 billion vs. 6 billion). It is also extremely fast, expected to be able to get someone from downtown LA to downtown San Francisco in 30 minutes. It also is powered by solar panels and when there is a lot of daylight it will make more electricity than it uses. Our second innovative solution is that we want to have solar panel roads. These two will add up to be a big source of electricity in the city.

The federal government should work on promoting either nuclear or solar energy. Energy is important for survival on a daily basis. In fact, the development of any nation depends on the long-term availability and increase of clean and safe energy that also supports the environment. Currently, no energy source can be said to be sufficiently capable of meeting future needs that a nation requires. It is important therefore to promote any particular type of renewable energy. Promoting and enhancing solar energy would be a better move to take. It is better for the environment if the federal government work on improving solar energy usage. Installation of solar panels by Americans continues to increase with each passing day. Despite this positive progress, this avenue of power is not fully exploited because of lack of infrastructure to store solar energy. Solar energy was ranked as the third electricity-producing source after natural gas and wind energy thus accounting for fourteen percent of the total electricity produced. This significant contribution of the solar energy shows that when properly exploited, solar energy can be a major source of electricity for the country. However, there is need for the issues surrounding its maximum exploitation to be addressed. The government should subsidize infrastructure. The most important infrastructure that the federal government should look into includes connection to the power grid, conversion of the solar

Los Angeles County ranks among the 10% worst air quality polluters in the US. The hustle and bustle of public transportation and smog released by an over-populated commuter based region, have significantly lowered air quality standards. Henceforth, health concerns have risen for all Angelinos. Research has observed that there is a serious influx of pollutants in the air that could have damaging results both on adults and children alike. However, different forms of renewable energy over the years have facilitated an alternative to this issue. A movement away from an urban sprawl Los Angeles to new urbanism has allotted us better living and breathing conditions over the last several years.

There are pollutants that effect our environment from many different sources from industry to everyday people in New Jersey these toxins show up in three ways air, water, and ground. New Jersey residents share in protecting our air, the toxins in our air over time can have an adverse effect on our overall health. The most immediate impact from pollution comes by way of our water supply the cornerstone of life itself New Jersey has made great strides to our water since the 1970’s when we started to understand the grave mistakes made by our lack of oversight when it came to our water. Not to be ignored is ground pollution which many industries have ignored by simply burying the problem it interns goes away not considering the life cycle that surrounds us every day. Pollution in New Jersey has been our calling card since I was a kid toxic fumes from our ports let you know you have entered an

I am writing in regards to the pollution in the city of Portland, the reason why I am deeply concerned with the issue is that a study found that in four to six years Portland will be like many other major cities with a reputation of horrible pollution that puts its people at risk, and quite honestly that really shocks me and get’s me thinking do we as a society do enough to eliminate harmful toxins that are being released and most importantly why are we putting our life in stake when their are smart individuals who are capable of tackling these particular types of issues. These issues might create a long time side effect which may translate into new disease and problems.What really affect people is the contaminated air being released

The first problem I identified was poor air quality due to the increased air pollution, especially in Casper Park. The affordable housing project is within walking distance of a major factory and factory smoke is the number one complaint of residents. There is an abnormally high hospital visits for upper respiratory problems amongst college students who often reside in the affordable housing project. According to Healthy People 2020, Poor air quality is linked to premature death, cancer, and long-term damage to respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Some objectives that would help reduce air toxic emissions would be Increase use of alternative modes of transportation for work and Reduce air toxic emissions to decrease the risk of adverse health effects caused by mobile, area, and major sources of airborne toxics ("Healthy People 2020," 2017, p. 2).

Virginia Beach, Virginia is making strides toward cleaner energy production, despite the threat of a coal-fired power plant. Coal-fired power plants, such as the Cypress Creek Power Station intended to be built in Surry County, Virginia, are environmentally harmful yet most cities are continuing to depend on them for a reliable and steady output of energy. This local environmental issue is a dilemma that many cities throughout the world are also experiencing. My study demonstrates how cities faced with these predicaments can find practical solutions for providing energy while being environmentally friendly. Scientific research along with the analysis of two scholarly articles explain the threats of coal-fired power plants on humans’ health and the environment as well as the advantages and disadvantages of practical solutions. Based upon proven facts and research, I have provided my opinion that Virginia Beach’s offshore wind farm solution is a suitable choice for that specific geographic region. What is not a suitable solution is the natural gas-fueled power plant that is currently in the process of being constructed. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to providing energy.

The search for the right junk removal services and Clean Outs in Long Island NY may initially seem arduous as there is a litany of services out there to be explored. However, not all companies are created equal, some being more responsible or efficient than others. Inevitably, the right company is dependent on the needs of the individual.

Over the last few decades, Boston has come across many environmental problems. Air pollution, water contamination and pollution in land resources are identified as primary areas of concerns. Carbon emission and wastage of fossil fuels are the main reasons for pollution. Conservation of energy is very significant. Through utilization of renewable energy sources fossil fuel wastage can be reduced to considerable level. In Boston, many organizations at state and private levels are already working to deal with key environmental issues. For this purpose many programs at grass root and bigger scale are working to spread awareness among masses. In addition, many programs have been implemented at an effective level in order to cope with environmental challenges.

In addition, solar energy operational costs are manageable. It is free from monthly charges compared to conventional sources of energy. Solar energy does not require raw materials such as oil and coal, and once the panels are built, there will be no monthly charges. In addition, the prices of fossil fuels are increasing day by day, and this means conventional energy will be very expensive. Solar energy will remain the most capable world’s future power supply because, it is cost effective once the plants are built, and there will be no transport costs like for conventional energy sources. Therefore, solar energy is cost-effective, and will help in future energy supply, as the maintenance cost is affordable, as long as they are installed properly, and are working efficiently ( Hans, 2012). Furthermore, with the improvement and advancement of technology, it will increase its efficiency, and cost of production thus, making it more cost effective and the world’s best

More efficient energy sources can be developed with the new advancements in technology. Houston’s non renewable energy sources will begin to run out by the year 2050 which will force us to use renewable energy sources. Renewable sources that Houston will be forced to use include wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy. The growth of the population in the United States and primarily Houston will result in the citizens wanting an alternate form of energy. The population growth will change the use of energy sources that are more reliable by using a cleaner safer energy source. The citizens will want to save more money on energy and cause less harm to the environment. Solar energy panels need technology advancements with the

Climate Change is a clear and present threat to the health of U.S. citizens because it affects the air quality. Climate Change with the help of pollutants caused by citizens such as waste, biomass, and fossil fuels, are the main causes of air pollutants in the United States, which makes it harder to produce crops and breathe in cleaner air (Massetti et al. pg. VII). If the air quality is not improved, which it has been improving over the past couple of decades, there are greater chances of heart attacks, respiratory illnesses, and asthma (U.S. Environmental

Solar power is one of the most environmentally benign energy sources available. Just 20 days of sunshine produces the same amount of energy as everything stored in Earth’s reserves of oil, coal, and natural gas—yet does not come close to producing the same amount of environmental damage as even one of those options (Greentips, 2005). Solar farms are a clean renewable source that can meet high energy demands and can creates thousands of jobs in the future. It is also used during peak demand for electricity. During the hottest days, the panels are absorbing more energy while homeowners have the a.c. on full blast. They can be installed anywhere

There is a vast potential in the integration of solar energy into the supply of energy to buildings, both in
