In earlier times, smoke from factories and smokestacks were signs of prosperity. Meanwhile, it became a nuisance and finally a health concern \cite{Warnatz}. The astonishing technological advances due to the industrial revolution came at a cost for the human beings and the environment. With the industrial revolution, the talent of the workmanship was devalued by the industrialized product and later on was replaced by single workers. Industrialization has led to a huge amount of coal demand, which introduced a new source of air and water pollution in the middle of the 19th century.
Over the past half-decade, the world has known a near-exponential increase in the consumption fossil fuels. It plays a quintessential role in the proper functioning of the globe. However, over the past few years, oil reserves have been depleting at a quick rate. There will be a day when there will not be any fossil fuels left to assuage the energy needs of the world. There is currently a few alternative resources lined-up but the most promising for fossil fuels to pass the torch to seem to be nuclear energy.
Solar power is renewable, it has low maintenance cost, it is always improving, the government is also behind solar power. Solar power is also good for environment. Solar power is the best thing for us and the Earth. We need solar power. It will not go
Nowadays, most daily activities of human beings rely on fossil fuels heavily such as transportation, lighting, heating and communication. However, many scientists and experts forecast that fossil fuel will be running out in by the next century. Therefore, before its exhaustion, an alternative energy, is necessary to be developed. Among all renewable energies, we will discuss the pros and cons of nuclear energy, solar energy and wind energy. To begin with, nuclear energy has several major advantages.
It’s estimated that gas reserves will run out somewhere in the next 50 years, and for oil we’re given a deadline between 2025 and 2070. The cut off point for life as we know it is drawing ever closer and even though a lot of efforts have been and are being made to switch to renewable energy sources, we can see our time with fossil fuels is running out. So the answer is simple; renewable, clean and safe energy, right? We all know the pros and cons of renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind energies. These forms are expensive, require lots of land space, there’s never enough power generated and you also can’t rely on them 24/7 (when the sun goes down, we’re doomed).
Coal has a significant role in energy in the United States as our increasing necessity on this natural element. Coal’s role in the United States economy is moreover positive or negative determining on who views you take political and socially. The electric power industry is the leading push for all coal production and consumption. The electric power industry with utilities and nonutility power manufacturers and
The Nuclear Renaissance Is nuclear power the most realistic alternative in an energy-constrained world? Is nuclear power the answer for a warming planet? As the debate rages on, proponents to nuclear power insist that there should be a nuclear revival to meet future energy consumption, which is said to rise to over 61% in 2050 (World Energy Council, 2015, p. 17). This increase in percentage is due to the predicted rise in population, which means that an adequate source of sustainable energy is required for future electricity. Moreover, horrific incidents from the past like the Three Mile Island in 1979 and Chernobyl in 1986 still implant fear in people’s minds.
Plenty plans for renewable energy are focused on their capacity to produce immediate energy and also continual process for a long term. Some conversion to produce power will be taken to generate electricity from a sunlight based or wind generator. Sun will sparkle for a long period of time. Meanwhile, for non-renewable energy, they are using coal and fossil fuels which are declining day by day which leads to the rising cost of the energy. When the coal and fossil fuels are used up, there will be no more non-renewable energy.
Energy is used in our daily lives all the time and even in times we don’t even realize we are. We get the energy we use from energy sources that help produce energy. There are two main different types of energy, renewable energy and nonrenewable energy. Nonrenewable energy includes gasoline, coal, different oils and much more. Nonrenewable energy will run out at some point in time and creates greenhouse gas/global warming.
During the visitation of the Solar Farm, ‘Chiang Rai Solar Plant’, I saw how the solar renewable energy source showed all excellent examples of how convenient, as well as being proficient, it is to utilise solar power as an excellent alternative energy source. Such renewable energy sources are being carried out all over the world nowadays. Brilliant minds have dedicated their lives to discovering resources that doesn’t leak green house gases into the ozone or cost immense amounts of assets. Renewable sources of energy are very promising to the earth and its atmosphere. Though it seems that to establish a renewable source like solar energy, there are drawbacks.
