prices of petroleum products. A hybrid energy system usually consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together to provide increased system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply. Hybrid renewable energy systems is one of the most promising applications of renewable energy technologies in remote areas, where the cost of grid extension is prohibitive and the price of fossil fuels increase drastically with the remoteness of the location. It has been demonstrated that hybrid energy

of citizen of the United States get their electricity from fossil fuels. This is not too bad but this is still a problem due to the fact that it causes a lot of pollution from the burning of fossil fuels. Out of one hundred percent, wind energy is responsible for giving four percent of the American population electricity. The atmosphere is not going to get better on its own so we must take action from moving from burning fossil fuels to renewable energy like wind energy. Although it would be a very

BIO-FUELS With the rising need for development with sustenance, the importance of biofuels is rapidly creating a wave amongst the current manufacturers. Bio-fuel is presumed to be an innovative successor to the fast depleting non-renewable sources of energy. What is bio-fuel? A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of

power as its primary source of energy because it will help stimulate the economy, create new advancements in nuclear technology, limit the stress put on our environment, and is much more safe than once believed. Increasing the number of nuclear power plants would be positive to the economy in an array of ways. Some people argue that the cost of nuclear power plants are more expensive to build compared to fossil fuel or gas based plants (Ferguson), which is true, but the costs to fuel a nuclear plant

the electricity in Brunei is produced by gas-fired power stations in which the resources come from the use of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are used, they release carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and others as well. This is one of the causes for increase in global warming, thus, responsible for climate changes. They are one of the energy sources that are non-renewable as they come from the fossils that will no longer be available once we use them up. The supplies

The recent sharp increases in the prices of oil, natural gas, uranium and coal underline the importance for all countries to focus on development of alternative energy resources. For developing countries, these price increases can have ruinous economic consequences; for many countries already plagued by poverty this means a choice between fuel and food, health care, education and other essentials. Renewable energy resources need priority because: 1) the overwhelming scientific evidence that anthropological
