CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE STATE OF THE UNION There are 7.3 billion people on Earth (United States Census Bureau, 2016). More specifically, there are 7.3 billion people who depend on Earth for food, water, and shelter. If there is one thing that every living organism has in common, it’s our dependence on the planet to survive. Unfortunately, since the Industrial Revolution, humans have been systematically degrading the Earth and its resources. President Obama’s final State of the Union address was structured

Nuclear energy is a source of power. The history begins on November 8,1895. A man named Wilhelm Rontgen discovered it in his laboratory, when he saw a luminescent screen near a cathode tube.(Jeffrey Vohlers). Nuclear Energy could be good or bad thing, it could solve many problems, but also bring up new problems. One of the biggest risk in nuclear energy is nuclear meltdown.This is very bad because it could harm water supply. The problem that is being addressed is how nuclear energy affects the environment

nuclear power plant in Cape Town which produces some of the electricity. Nuclear power uses coal as a fossil fuel to make electricity or power. Nuclear power is seen as an alternative energy source but it does, however, release a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is, however, an alternative energy source but it does have its pros and cons which must weighed up against each other into making a decision as to

The first idea would be to reduce the work week hours from 40+ hours to 35 hours a week. This is estimated to create 26 million new jobs. Another idea would be to financially support renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources employ at least 2x as many people as fossil fuels or nuclear sources. By subsidizing them, it gives them a chance in cost competition ("Economic Justice & Sustainability"). Unlike the Republican party and the Democratic party

Nuclear Power: For or Against? With a growing population, our need for electricity is an essential for modern living. Though, as our fossil fuel resources continue to deplete and the emissions of greenhouse gasses continue to grow, we now face the ever growing problem of finding power sources that are both renewable and virtually clean. As of now, in the year 2027, the city of New York has a population of over 24 million people, and now all face the skyrocketing prices electricity. The mayor has

economy has been developing at a high speed since the Reform and Opening in 1978, China is also facing the dilemma, which is the increasing conflict between economic development, energy and environment (p.38). The results of their investigation show that China’s rapid economic growth has facilitated enormous expansion in energy

This shows that these technologies are ecological products. While the creations will help the environment, many people’s houses will be powered by renewable energy source. Therefore, Google should be thinking about creating something that will solve the environmental issues. The company will then make an enormous impact on the future of nanotechnology. Along with environmental factors, nanotechnology can improve

Space-Based Solar Power It is no secret that the earth is in need of a new sustainable source of energy. There is a limited supply of fossil fuels on the planet, and the energy-generating solutions that are currently in action are only decelerating the rate of consumption of nonrenewable energy. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that the earth will run out of useable fossil fuels by 2088 if the current rates of consumption continue. A promising long-term solution to this crisis

vs. Renewable Energy Jeffrey Henkel Capellan-Perez, Indigo; Mediavilla, Margarita: de Castro, Carlos: Carpintero, Oscar; Miguel, Luis Javier, Arto, Inaki, Frechoso. The transition towards renewable energies: Physical and temporal conditions. Energy Policy. 52, p297-311. The view concerning the diminishing supply of fossil fuel resources, along with the concerns that climate change is worsening, has prompted research and development of national energy policies and renewable energy sources.
