with the habitats and lives of many species. Your energy sources are a major cause of the pollution. By running on fossil fuels your releasing harmful greenhouse gases into the environment. But don’t fret because you can help. Instead of using fossil fuels, you can switch to biofuel paired with wind energy in your town, Algona, Iowa! Biofuel will supply fuel to your vehicles, while wind energy will provide electricity to your needs. Both sources are ecofriendly. Wind energy uses a generator within the

such as Switzerland, have regulated the use of electronic cars, firmly suggesting that their citizens use electronic cars over gas powered cars. While this is very popular among European nations, I feel that instead we should impose a carbon tax on fuel and let the economy do the rest. Naturally, economically speaking, by imposing a tax that raises the price of a product, the demand for that good will decrease.

dependence upon fossil fuels, largely oil and natural gas has only contributed to the increase in carbon in the atmosphere hastening climate change and its effects. It is with this knowledge that therefore California must look towards means of alleviating its contributions to climate change as well as fighting it. The state of California along with the entire United States of America, must shift from the dependence on fossil fuel and non-renewable energy to renewable energy sources by the year 2050 to

Energy Sources Connie Collins Strayer University Prof. Alisha Etheredge SCI110 July 18, 2012 There are many ways energy can be converted from one form of energy into another form of energy. Three of the ways are through action of forces, which is where gravity accelerates a falling object that converts potential energy to kinetic energy. Gravitational forces, electric and magnetic force fields, and frictional forces are some examples. A pendulum is a great example of potential and kinetic

Alternatives to oil, coal, and natural gas only provide a small proportion of the electricity needed to power U.S. factories, businesses and homes. However, as worries increases over the high costs and environmental effects of reliance on limited natural resources, more Americans are looking to alternative energy for the future. The burning of these fuels causes severe air pollution and thus contributes to the “greenhouse effect.” This enormous amount of consumption will be the ultimate cause of

Alternative Fuels There are numerous alternatives to unleaded fuel, but not all can be easily produced and not all are in high demand. With the continuous rise of unleaded gas prices and the ever growing concern of global warming here are a few alternatives that hopefully can one day supplement (if not already) or possibly replace the need for unleaded fuel. The first alternative is Ethanol. Ethanol is already being used today in over 6 million Flex Fuel Vehicles as an additive to unleaded fuel

reducing the environmental impact generated by other energy sources Ricardo Araujo Westerns Governors University Energy production and usage continue to pose significant environmental challenges. Various administrative organizations have established various mechanisms through which environmental protection can get achieved (Growing Significance of Renewable Energy (Presentation), 2007). The threat emerges from the continuous usage of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel that produce large amounts

Alternative Energy Sources Geology Many people believe that we must depend on fossil fuels for energy, where as the reality of it is the earth provides an abundance of renewable energy sources. These energy sources can produce enough energy that we would never have to use fossil fuels again. Alternative energy is the use of other energy sources instead of the use of fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Solar power can be used to operate cars and provide electricity to homes and businesses. Hydropower
