resources, fossil fuels and renewable flows of energies stemming from the heat of the sun, as solar energy and the winds which circle the planet, as well as the movement of water and the internal energies of the planet (geo-thermals). Fossil fuels are the products of the conversion of biomass, which, through fossilization, yields coal, oil and natural gas. Coal became the world’s most important solid fuel during the 1890s, when their energy content surpassed that of the traditional fuels of the day (wood

Lloyd 1 Alternative Energy Sources Energy is all around us. Almost everything that you can see or touch is energy or took energy to make. Even our bodies are made up and made from energy and we can also produce energy but it takes energy to do so. So when you think of it in that way how can anyone say that the United States and even the world may be entering an energy crisis? We are though and some parts of the world already have. Even though it maybe true that some sources of nonrenewable

1. Define biopolymers A biopolymer is a polymer (small identical molecules which form a large molecule) that is made totally or in large part by living organisms. 2. Explain the importance of developing biopolymers as alternatives to traditional polymers. Petroleum-based polymers are non-biodegradable and so they do not decompose naturally by microorganisms but biopolymers are biodegradable and can decompose naturally. This means biopolymers reduce the negative impact on the environment by reducing

P. IV-COMPASSION J.P. SIOSON GENERAL HOSPITAL AND COLLEGES, INC. S.Y.:2012-2013 ABSTRACT Dried leaves are the main material in the project. The purpose of doing the project is to find an alternative if the ordinary is not available. And the researchers need to find a sufficient and a good alternative so people will not buy charcoal, instead they will do it on their house and cook their own food using this dried leaves charcoal. Flour, water and dried leaves are the main materials of the dried

Task-1 Simple Supply and Demand The utilisation of various products includes crore of millions of population, who individually can limited the power to effect the cost of goods, but combinedly have plenty of power to influence it. The solution will definitely won’t shock you: (Foreign countries) Saudi Arabia. But the very close runner-up might: The (USA)United States of America creates more than 11.11 million barrels every day, which can be more than 95% of what other foreign countries like Saudi

affecting Nigeria’s economical progress is power. And this has been a major discuss in the country for a long time. A reliable and sustainable energy source is greatly desired to power the nation’s economy and this need cannot be overemphasized, due to the epileptic power supply to the national grid, it has become absolutely important to explore other cheap sources of power to meet our urban and rural energy need. This will in no small measure support our national grid and reduce rural-urban drift. The heavy

that of an electric car engine. Where the gas/diesel engines use fuel and combustion, the electric car runs solely on a battery. There are hybrids that use both a fuel engine and alternately run off of a battery, but they are in another category. A fuel engine uses the spark from a spark plug to ignite the gasoline fumes inside the carburetor which starts the engine, whereas a diesel engine uses hot air to ignite the diesel fuel fumes. Gasoline engines run hot externally while a diesel engine

machines. The only energy these machines save is human energy and time because these machines use energy in the form of fossil fuels, which is made from large amounts of carbon. They were created when the organic remains of plants and animals were buried millions of years ago. Over time, heat and pressure changed the remains into coal, oil, and natural gas. When people burn fossil fuels, huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases are released into the atmosphere; which result in several changes to the

energy used, primarily through heat (Law of Conservation, n.d.). Fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal were formed many hundreds of millions of years ago before the time of dinosaurs, hence the name fossil fuels (Where Fossil Fuels Come From , 2012). Coal actually provides one-fourth of the world’s commercial energy consumption and when over consumption happens, coal causes air pollution. The burning of fossil fuels emits carbon monoxide,

FRANK T. ROTHAERMEL DAVID R. KING Tesla Motors, Inc. January 1, 2015. Elon Musk, chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla is taking it easy on this New Year’s Day. While having his coffee, he scrolls through some recent issues of The Wall Street Journal on his iPad. A headline from one current story jumps out at him, “Gasoline prices have declined for 88 consecutive days, the longest streak of falling prices on record.”1 The slide in gas prices, which began in September 2014, also happened to coincide
