of renewable energy to be realized through careful design and consultation. Additionally, it also provides a profile of a major wind power company in Canada. Problem Electricity generation produces more pollution than virtually any other single

other electronic devices, which require energy and fuel. The primary fuels that we use today are harmful for the environment and may have a limited supply. Although often overlooked, it is important for us to take small steps towards living more eco-friendly lives, this requires alternative energy. I feel a greater use of biomass, an alternative energy, can help slow the downturn of the Earth from its environmental catastrophe. Alternative energy is energy that will not use up all of our resources

to late 1800’s, the United States have used fossil fuels to provide itself with energy. The increase in fossil fuel consumption and energy production was and is the main cause of the United States’ economic prosperity. The United States absolutely needs it’s high energy production if it seeks to remain a global power. However, in recent years there has been growing debate on whether or not fossil fuels are the energy-producing fuel of the future. Environmentalists cite increasing global temperatures

Since the first commercial plant in the 1950s, the nuclear energy sector has increased steadily. From generating 684 billion kilowatt hours worldwide in 1980, nuclear power accounted for 2,345 billion KWh in 2012 (World Bank, n.d.). While the Chernobyl accident in 1986 did not trigger any decline in the global nuclear-generated power in the following years, the Fukushima accident in 2011 did. A drop of almost 200 billion KWh from 2011 to 2012 put a hold on the previously roughly constant numbers

rich. There’s multiple ways to go about making money from this method, thousands of people have earned thousands to millions of dollars by selling the land rights they own to be used for fracking. Depending on how much natural gas, oil and geothermal energy that can be found is what determines the value of the land that is going to be fracked. This can determine exactly how much money can be earned from the selling of the land and the retrieval of the resources that are in it. This is why the

food, and shelter, whose next level is energy, education, and ICT (information and communications technology), and whose final level consists of freedom and health. While they make the general prediction about things getting better for mankind, they tend to avoid making specific and concrete predictions themselves about what solutions people will come up with. In Most of the book is consists of a large number of examples of solutions created or in development to help people move up the abundance pyramid

percent of ethanol. According to our text, most ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn, yet ethanol can be made from any biomes-- including garbage. (Turk & Bensel, 2011) Another alternative to oil being used is solar energy. Everyone knows that the sun is the most important source of energy to our

relying on fossil fuels and switch to solar energy it would be beneficial for multiple reasons; it would save society billions or trillions of dollars. Even long before society’s very existence is threatened by global warming, global warming is projected to cost society trillions of dollars if pollution continues. Fighting global warming with solar power will likely save society billions or even trillions of dollars. Solar power also provides free energy. No one can buy the sun or turn sunlight into

II.III American Energy Industry Currently, the United States of America (US) produces the most nuclear powered electricity in the world, making over 30% (World Nuclear Association, 2017). The US has 100 nuclear reactors spread across the country, with a denser cluster in the East portion of the country (World Nuclear Association, 2017). The aggregate capacity of all of the US reactors produces 805 billion kWh, which is almost 20% of the US’s demand for electricity (World Nuclear Association, 2017)

transportation: a world without energy provided by fossil fuels. One might think this is the world of our forefathers and of bygone days; however, with staggering increases in energy demands perhaps such a world may not be so far from reality if humanity fails to adapt to these changing needs and how we produce energy to meet global energy requirements. There is no doubt that the greatest issues affecting humanity today are that of pollution fueled climate change and energy insecurity (Jacobson and Delucchi
