Energy development

Wind Energy For years’ people have debated the best course of action for confronting the energy crisis. Fossil fuels continue to be the main source of energy not only in the United States but also in most of the world. Although fossil fuels get the job done, the are non-renewable resource that will eventually run out. Not only are they non renewable they also pollute the earth and destroy nature. Burning fossil fuels emits toxins into the air that can harm animals and humans when they breath…

activities. The people should use the best source of energy to reduce the increasing of the temperature. The problem is connected to many another issues such as air pollution. There are three sources fossil fuels, nuclear power and renewable energy. The sources have advantages and disadvantages. Fossil fuels include oil, coal and natural gas, and fossil fuels are non-renewable energy source. The fossil fuels are the most popular…

ride in oil fueled bus? There was a time when one could have thrown the idea of renewable energy to waste basket saying it is not enough but now is the time to hold the idea and say “enough is enough”. With the flow of time, people accepted the idea of having lighter electronics and powerful motor engines, so why not solar-wind hybrid system which has likes of both. But before going for any renewable energy system we have to hate the current power generation system, so that we do not switch back…

William Kamkwamba once said “If you want something, all you have to do is try.” William wanted to build a windmill so that he could create electricity and pump water, but that was not all his achievement. William left a legacy as The Wind Harnesser because he used what he had to save his country. William Kamkwamba changed the world as a boy architect who built a windmill to not only defeat starvation in Malawi, but to improve everyday life by providing the whole town with electricity. When…

a. Describe 5 major advantages associated with High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) distribution systems when considered alongside alternative solutions. [5 marks] i) HVDC have lower losses when compared to the equivalent AC cable distribution. The DC power transmission lines run at losses of approximately 0.3-0.4% per 100km. Converter stations also need to be considered which have losses of around 0.6%. Overall HVDC transmission losses are nearly always lower than AC transmission. ii) HVDC…

What the frack is fracking and why it should be replaced with alternative energy Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, is the extraction of natural gas from deep underground shale using vertical (“conventional fracking”) and horizontal (“unconventional”) drilling. According to C. Mooney (The Truth About Fracking) conventional fracking has been used since the late 1940’s; it involves drilling a vertical well into a layer of shell and pumping chemically treated water and sand at extremely high…

The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s heat gets trapped in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Using renewable energy, burning less fossil fuels, and recycling anything that is not actual waste can help reduce emissions. When communities use urban farming, less transportation is needed to get product, thus less fuel is being burned and used. The purpose of this paper is to look at ways we can come together as a society and put into effect ways we can reduce the effects of global warming…

The best place to go is to a spot that really no one knows about so you don’t have to deal with other fisher men (“Alaska Fishing spots”). The Alaska water were owned by the Russians hundreds of years ago. But now since have taken over the land we put fish in those lakes so we can have more fun. The Homer Spit fishing spot is one of the most popular spots in Alaska for fishing because the fishing in that spot has a lot of great fish (“Alaska Fishing Spots”). Most researchers have found some of…

The cost of energy has been a difficult cost for agencies to manage. Consumers have demanded that costs remain manageable because the cost of energy, especially fuel, will affect all avenues of life. High costs of fuel will not only mean that the cost of transportation in the private sector will be harder to manage, but also the cost of food, clothing and any type of merchandise that requires transportation for the consumer. Drilling for oil in the Arctic is one solution to the high cost of fuel…

Why would you choose to mine THIS for a power resource? Why would you choose something that destroys ecosystems and pollutes the air over a cleaner energy source like wind power, solar power or hydroelectric power? Imagine you’re walking past a giant open field, would you rather see a black dusty machine filled smoky hole in the earth or a nice row of pretty white wind mills and solar panels on the houses? Not only does the second choice look better, but it doesn’t leave much of an impact, but…
