power, and frequently these sources are totally renewable and re-usable. These natural alternatives have been preferred by many over using the fossil fuels so prevalent in society at this time, in that they can be used without the environmental arguments presently going on about fossil fuels. Geothermal energy was first discovered in the seventh century, when mines dug were found to be actually hotter than the surface. This was assumed to be resulting from a heat source located inside the earth

Global Warming: Eye Opening Facts that it is Refutably upon Us Terrie M. Hornbeck Buena Vista University Author Note Prepared for: Laura Brahn’s Globalism Seminar Abstract In recent years, scientists noticed that the average temperature of the Earth was increasing and looked for causes for the change. It is clear that the Earth has had changes in its average temperature many times in the geologic past before humans were present (Enger & Smith, 2013). Therefore, scientists initially

com/future/story/20150610-blue-energy-how-mixing-water-can-create-electricity Philip Ball says that when the intriguing chemistry that occurs where rivers meet the sea could power our homes and much more. It is perhaps one of the most under-exploited sources of green energy. When salt water and fresh water mix in estuaries, a chemical process occurs that can be harnessed for electricity generation. According to one estimate, this “blue energy” is so plentiful that it could meet all our needs

suggested that this type of thinking has led some consumers to prefer products like the Prius (Jansson, Marrell & Nordlund 2009). An area that is related to a consumer’s choice of car is the choice of fuel. Four thousand Swedish drivers were surveyed on their level of eco-sensitivity and the type of vehicle fuel they used (Jansson, Marell & Norlund 2009). Many manufacturers now sell hybrid and low emission vehicles with planet saving claims about their CO2 emissions. In fact, the demand for environmentally

Gulf oil spill ENV/100 Feb 16, 2015 Gulf oil spill On April 20, 2010 the British petroleum Deepwater horizon oilrig exploded of the Gulf of Mexico, causing the worst environmental disaster the United States has ever faced. The oilrigs’ explosion effects on the air, water and wildlife is devastating. What kind of damage will this cause on the ecosystem over the years? In the aftermath of the explosion what steps can we take to insure this kind of accident does not happen again? With the

bills grow? You could think it was from leaving lights on in a room that you aren’t in; or falling asleep with the T.V. on (which I do quite often). It could be this, but it could also be the fact that the world’s source of fossil fuel is running out. We may need to switch to other sources of energy in the near future, like wind power or solar power. These changes would also help reduce the amounts of greenhouse (A gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range)

need more research and more time to study the plant. In time I believe that the plant will help the ecosystem but nothing is for sure in the world of science and genetic crossing. But one thing That I am sure about is that the earth needs a new fuel source and fast! With the large number of cars, trains and airplanes we have, it's only a matter of time before we run out of time for the earth and the supply of
