the potential energy sources from the farthest reaches of the world. Dr. Strobel found that an endophtic fungus called Gliocladium roseum that shows the same essence as Diesel fuel. The same diesel that is produced by man from crude oil. He found that the endophtic fungus was produced to protect the plant from other endophtic fungus. It was interesting to find out plants have natural abilities to protect themselves from the smallest organisms. The production of an energy source from an micro organism

material; nuclear waste, and fossil fuel; oil. The world has become a gigantic trashcan. With the expansion of technology, humans are gutting out the earth’s resources, the results are creating an imbalance in the climate, and millions are suffering from ill health. Biological diversity in parts of the world has become an important issue of discussion to environmental activist. Recommendations for illuminating waste are concerns of nations worldwide. Alternative solutions will make way for improvement

Driving through the state of Texas, among other areas of the world, one can see the beauty of wind power being harnessed by the wind turbines that line the fields. When thinking about renewable alternative energy and places that are successfully incorporating the energy into daily lives, Texas immediately came to mind. Texas is ranked number one in the nation for wind energy capacity (Texas wide open for business, 2014). If one were to look at Texas as a country, it would rank number 6 on a global

Sun: The Earth’s Most Vital Source of Alternative Energy Our modern industrial civilization is to a large extent based on using fossil fuels. Still, due to overpopulation, climate change, and the scarcity of resources, one of the most precious and efficient sources of energy, oil, has already started to exhaust (Bode, 2005, p.81). This fact has caused scientists globally to seek for substitutes to fossil fuels to avoid economic and industrial collapse. Experts in the field of sustainable energy

higher than normal amount of sulfuric and nitric acids. The precursors of acid rain come from man-made sources, like emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels, and natural sources, like decaying vegetation and volcanoes (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2012.) In America approximately 2/3 of the pollution that comes from the burning of fossil fuels are released into the air from the electric power that our generation relies so much on. When these

CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH EFFICIENCY PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT Energy from renewable source such as solar is getting interest as the world’s power demands increases daily. Over time solar energy has emerged as a promising sustainable energy sources but unfortunately for solar panels the sun moves. Nigeria as a country is suited for harvesting of solar energy, of which if effectively implemented can end energy crisis faced by this Country Our design includes a construction of solar

Many of the things that pollute the air are used by humans daily and at http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/pollution-overview/ it says that car, planes, buses, and many other modes of travel release carbon dioxide into the air which is one of the main components of global warming. Most of the activities that use fossil fuels emit carbon

bButanol Article Summary Since 2005, the year the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set new standards for renewable fuels; ethanol has been being mixed into gasoline in the U.S. Ethanol is a product of corn and is a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In a New York Times article titled, “Corn Ethanol Makers Weigh Switch to Butanol,” by Henry Fountain, it has been indicated that the general mentality in the “Corn Belt,” a cluster of Midwestern states, has slightly
