Renewable energy

becomes more and more industrialized, the energy needed to power the machines of industrialization increases as well. To do this, there must be a source of energy to supply this power. It must be reliable, and there must be enough of it to be used. Of course, when talking about having a lot or enough of an energy resource, renewable resources are the most ideal. A resource that is most ideal for powering our nation is hydroelectricity. It is an abundant renewable resource, with a low carbon footprint

Dubai. It is 100% solar-powered, has organic farms, uses recycled water and has a green amphitheatre. A sustainable city should have renewable energy resources to sustain themselves. These are 5 types of renewable energy, hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, biomass and wind power. Burlington, Vermont is the first American city to become 100% reliant on renewable energy. Sustainable transport is a must as it lessens the carbon footprint. Some types of transport that are sustainable are walking, riding

resort to for clean energy sources such as water and wind energy. However, there is one energy source in particular that is infinite in abundance for the entire planet to live off of; solar energy. With the constant use of fossil fuels in play with no strategic approach into transitioning to a more renewable source of clean energy such as solar energy, we will continue to kill the life that thrives our home and our home itself. There needs to be a higher ratio of solar energy industry to offset the

into mechanical energy and then electricity. Wind energy is the fastest growing energy source in the world; aiming to produce 20% of its electricity by wind power by 2030. We started using wind power centuries ago with windmills, they pumped water, grounded grain and so much more. Wind turbines today are a much more evolved version of a windmill. They range in size at 80 feet tall and can power a single home. And a utility scale turbine can power hundreds of homes. It is a renewable, clean source of

In contrast, by using alternative forms of energy, such as solar energy, we are helping our planet by keeping it healthier. Solar energy does not pose a threat to our environment and health as fossil fuels such as oil have in recent years. Our society should focus on solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuels due to the decreasing cost of solar panels, the reduced environmental damages of air pollution, deforestation, and water pollution. Solar energy is constantly improving, whether that be financially

WIND ENERGY Wind power is the energy collected by the wind. It is one of the oldest well-known energy sources by humans and still to this day is the most efficient and reliable efficient energy of all renewable energies. Wind power is generated by converting the kinetic throughout the atmosphere into useable electricity. Wind energy is made up by lots of sources; its generated by the rotation of the earth, the heat of the sun, the cooling effect of the oceans, temperatures between land and sea, physical

The Future of Nonrenewable Sources Nonrenewable sources of energy have effect many Americans. Every time a person turns on their vehicle and travel to certain destinations they use up gas. Every three to four months a vehicle needs an oil change. Other than the amount of materials being consume is the high prices people have to pay to get these materials. Oil and coal are to important nonrenewable resource, which means that they cannot be replaced quickly. Science and technology are changing quickly

Why We Are Not Using Hydroelectric Power Austin Bradshaw Lindsey Wilson College Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the renewable technology Hydropower and the pros and cons of it. I will be using three separate articles from GREENR focusing on hydropower as a whole and some of the possible downsides of this technology in addition to the very noticeable positive effects from hydropower. The three articles mentioned are "Building BRIC: Carrieann Stocks takes a look

gases. Representative Chellie Pingree who is the D-ME 1st District states, “There is an incredible renewable energy resource off both coasts of this country - wind and tidal energy that can power our economy, create good paying jobs and reduce greenhouse gas pollution.” This is a present day solution for preventing global warming. We need to take advantage of nature and use it for renewable energy. This means that it can decrease foil fuels, and increase the amount of electric items such as, cars

About Sustainable use of resources means using the current resources without compromising with the demands of our future generations. The sources of energy are in a limit quantity specially the non-renewable sources of energy. The world is now focusing on how to conserve these non-renewable sources of energy so that our future generations can also take the advantages of this priceless gift from nature. Sustainable development refers to the development that meets the needs of the present without
