Fossil Fuels America currently mainly uses fossil fuels as its main source of energy. America should switch to nuclear energy as an alternative to fossil fuel energy. The most common fossil fuels used today are oil, coal, and natural gas. These sources of energy are being depleted and America will soon have to find a new source of energy. The future is facing towards nuclear power. Nuclear energy is more efficient, it is a cleaner burning fuel, it is more economically sound and is a safe source of

Should the world use biofuels? In our rapidly changing world we have petroleum fuel that gives life to our whole society. We have two main options for fuel. On one hand, we have fossil fuels, which causes a great deal of pollution our planet and although we have plenty of fuel reserves now, this fuel is not renewable and will therefore be exhausted in the future. On the other hand，we have biofuels, renewable fuel that do not cause as much pollution; however, biofuels would require research, development

of the future” Toyota had created a car that will change the source power that people are going to use for their vehicles in the future. The “Mirai” in Japanese, “mirai” means “future,” and the Mirai is the future of motoring. It runs solely on hydrogen and its only emissions are water. The Mirai will travel almost 300 miles on a single tank, it takes about five minutes to re-charge, and the emissions is only water vapor, and fuel is included for the first three years of ownership. Hydrogen power

way our planet is depleted further of fossil fuels as well as the planet being pumped full of more Carbon Dioxide (CO²) than the planet can handle. Imagine nothing changing when it comes to energy production and take a look at our planet in 100 years. Do you see a planet that is inhabited, or do you in fact see a planet that is something akin to the movie Wall-e? It is a scary thought, but alternative energy resources are out there, and these alternative energy resources will enable mankind to inhabit

seawater containing high salinity is converted to fresh water by desalination, it consumes large amounts of energy. Therefore, it is important to find suitable alternative energy resources for the desalination technology due to conventional fossil fuels crisis and environmental pollution. Renewable energy is commonly alternative energy sources considered for desalination, including solar thermal energy, solar photovoltaics, wind energy, hybrid solar PV-wind energy and geothermal. Renewable energy can

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy Energy is an extremely important resource for people and people can’t live without energy. When energy vanishes from people’s life can cause of paralyzed international institutions. The common energy which people use every day is a fossil fuel such as coal, oil and natural gas. Unfortunately, people face some serious problems with above energy sources such as exhaust resources, greenhouse effect and diverse environment pollution. All of the world barrels

refrigerator heat moved to low temperature to high temperature, needing electricity to work or perform properly. Finally, the last law of thermodynamics states that all molecular movement stops at the temperature of absolute zero or 0 Kelvin. Fossil fuels contain stored radiant energy from organisms that lived millions of years

human activities (http://www.ucsusa.org/global). Green House Gases Green house gases act as a blanket locking in heat emissions affecting the earth’s climate. Human acts such as; burning fossil fuels and energy for deforestation is large contributors to an increase in green house gases. Humans are pouring carbon dioxide (CO2) in to the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it. This has been going on for years and because of the
