One of the most interesting topics for me that I would be interested in starting a business with is Renewable Energy innovations. I would chose these products because of their viability for the future. With growing automation products, there will be fewer options for career fields, however this field is one of the most stable industries especially with the introduction of tax rebates and government subsidies. These are only some of the appealing aspects of this industry. The most attractive…
“You can’t be a first-world economy in the 21st century if you are not on the path to a clean energy future.” This quote by Wayne Swan, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, while running his election campaign, has inspired me to take a stand for the green energy initiative. For more than a century now, we as a civilization have solely depended on our fossil fuel resources to meet our energy demands. But with the depleting oil reserves and scientific evidence pointing towards an ever…
Introduction: Energy is an important factor for development of country’s economy and for most part this energy is produced from non-renewable sources. For transforming from conventional to green energy some strategies and policies have to be implemented, proper framework must be employed such that the existing constraints and barriers for renewable energy technologies are reduced. It is necessary to create conditions for increased investments in a transition to green economy. Pursuing clean…
“The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that about 11% of world marketed energy consumption is from renewable energy sources” (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2014). Renewable energy is often referred to as green because it is a strong for the environment, or so we think. Media covers a wide variety of global warming and greenhouse gas stories, but nobody seems to have a solution to the problems. This could be in large, because being green is such a vague topic. To…
Obama’s Spill on Green Energy Eleven lives were lost; wildlife was coated in the millions of gallons of thick, black oil that was suspended in the Gulf of Mexico; and the United States wanted answers. Almost 2 months after the BP oil spill on April 20, 2010, President Obama addressed the United States concerning the disaster, and the country eagerly awaited what their leader would say. Obama’s goal was to tactfully provide information and a solution, for the present and future. As a televised…

PHOTOSYNTHESIS: WAVELENGTHS VS. DISTANCE Introduction: Every living being on Earth can be categorized by either autotroph or heterotroph. What do I mean autotroph or heterotroph? Humans and most animals are considered heterotrophs. Heterotrophs gain their energy from harvesting the energy that other living things have stored. An example of this would be a human having a turkey dinner or a rabbit enjoying some leafy greens. Each example shows a living thing, consuming another once living thing…
The purpose of the Determining Food Dye Content Lab was to identify the food dye coloring in green apple Gatorade, and determine the dye’s concentration to ultimately recreate a solution containing the same concentration of dyes as the original. To determine the concentration of the dyes present in the green apple Gatorade, a spectrometer was used to measure the wavelengths and absorbance values for the given dyes. A sample of the green apple Gatorade was tested in the spectrometer to measure…
