your house hold and rewarding those who stay within the threshold. The problem we face is big corporations. They have invested million dollars in non-renewable energy sources, and have continued to fight against the renewable energy movement. Amory Lovins, in his 40-year plan for energy, stated our non-renewable current energy system would have to be replaced by 2050, costing a total of $6 trillion. It would cost the same amount of money to replace coal and power plants with wind farms, solar panels

Sustainable construction When it comes to building assessment methods, this theme led to many and different forms of studies on the relationship between the project team integration and the sustainable construction. Comparing dominant construction strategies with sustainable construction, Lutzkendorf & Lorenz (2011) argue that, on one hand, sustainable construction requires greater disciplinary specialization and greater functional dependence between components. On the other hand, traditional construction

Safe and nutritious foods are critical constitutive facets of human health throughout the globe. Approximately one-third of the global population in the so-called developing world are currently nutrition and food insecure. Both biological imperatives and nutritional concerns undergird the need to achieve food and nutrient security, which have functioned as the driving forces behind the efforts of scientists to attain equitable food distribution among the populations throughout the world (2012). Genetically

Is Nuclear Energy a Safe and Reliable Resource? When the term nuclear power or nuclear energy comes into conversations, often the first thoughts that come to mind are bombs, destruction, radioactive waste, and war. However, these four things occur the least in the nuclear power field. It is far more than just mass destruction and devastation, nuclear power is used to create electricity in a safe and eco-friendly manor. People have a high level of concern about the use of nuclear energy especially

product consumption to the selling of service addresses and answers the challenge that human welfare is best served by improving the quality and flow of desired services delivered, rather than by merely increasing the total dollar flow?(Hawkins and Lovins 1999). The environmental benefit of an industrial service economy lies in the fact that it is ?regenerative rather than depletive, one whose products ?work within cradle to cradle lifecycles rather than cradle to grave cycles?? (Brown). Services

the effects of rebound are grossly underestimated and overlooked as result of imprecise quantifying models needed to influence policy changes for more effective green solutions. Others such as; James Barrett (Clean Economy Development Center), Amory Lovins (Rocky Mountain Institute)and Kenneth Gillingham (Yale University), assert that the impact of the rebound on efficiency is not as grand and substantial as it is made out to be. While the debate goes on, the key point is that rebound does occur

From his perspective “No one can ever embargo the sun,” In 1979 president Carter in his press conference said the solar energy could be one of the exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people. By the time his idea becomes clear point or trend that the world need to transition to solar or renewable energy, because of reasons: 1- Iran revolution 2- Arab oil embargo All these events affected 1- Oil supply 2- And brought grave fears about the future of oil. 3- As well as because of environmental

The world is depended on oil and soon oil will become more valuable than gold and could lead to a worldwide war. Price for oil could soar to above two hundred fifty dollars per barrel. Oil and other fuel cell also cause green house gases which contribute to global warming. China is consuming two times more petroleum than 1996 and India is projected to consume three times the oil it currently does by 2050. Global house gas emission has increased by twenty percent from 2003 to 2006. Energy consumption

UTILIZING ENERGY STORAGE TO INCREASE THE PROLIFERATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION AND SOLVE INTERMITTENCY WHILE STABILIZNG THE GRID Brandon Oldham | Vermont Law School | Fall 2015 Energy Policy in a Carbon Constrained World | Michael Dworkin The energy storage field is ripe for investment and investments now can not only lead to financial returns in the future, but doing so can help usher in an industry that may just be able to put the energy sector on a path towards zero carbon emissions while

The Economic Impact of Rising Oil Prices in Automotive Industry The rise in the oil prices plays a major role in the automotive industry. “The world consumes over 82 million barrels of oil per day (BPD), with the united states taking roughly 20 million BPD” (McFarlane). Oil provides 97 percent of the transportation fuels that helps to run the cars, trucks and other vehicles in the nation’s highway (Heinberg). Thus, when the price of the oil rises, it clearly concerns the auto industry because the
