Should the use of solar power be encouraged? The introduction of alternative energy like solar power aims to decrease the impact humans have on biodiversity due to the issue of enhanced greenhouse effect. Solar power is electricity generated from the levels of natural energy contained within the sun’s rays . Supporters of solar power maintain that this energy source is able to lower greenhouse gases as it is a natural resource that does not require further processing. It can be supplemented entirely

Lotus and Alternative Fuels Willis Jackson Jr. Comm/215 June 25, 2014 David S. Murphy Introduction For years, environmentalists have been screaming about going green, recycling, reusing products, and so forth. Therefore, the idea of our vehicles using alternative fuel sources would be a welcomed change. With dozens of vehicles and fuel sources becoming available, it is now possible to add alternative fuel vehicles to our rental car fleet. Through this presentation, I will fully outline gasoline

mechanical energy. A fuel converts to chemical energy to heat energy. What we mean by fossil fuels is that Fossil fuels are energy resources that come from the remains of plants and animals. These remains are millions of years old. Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, provide the energy that powers our lifestyles and our economy. Fossil fuels are a finite, non-renewable resource. They remain the primary source for the production of electricity. Fossil Fuel is an attractive source of energy because

Cellulose Ethanol as Alternative to Fossil Fuels Saint Leo University Today people are dependant almost entirely on fossil fuels as a form of energy and fuel. There is a very finite amount of fossil fuels in the grounds and it in inevitable that we will run out. For a time we thought ethanol from corn would be what took us away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Scientists are now looking into various options for alternative sources of fuel such as solar power, wind and biomass. Biomass

radiant energy would be light. The light from the sun makes it possible for living things to live on earth by providing fuel and warmth. Electrical energy is a form of energy from electromagnetic interactions. Electrical energy is the presence and flow of an electric charge. Lightning or a light bulb would be examples of electrical energy. Nuclear energy is regarded as a source of power and also called atomic energy. It is energy released by a nuclear reaction. Sun is nuclear energy that is produced

oil and its effect on the environment has brought substantial public attention to the renewable and alternative power sources. The technology of using alternative fuel for cars besides gasoline has been advancing rapidly over the years. In light of this, car manufacturers have introduced hybrid cars which combine two or more sources of energy as fuel. However, many argue that most of these sources, such as biodiesel, ethanol, methanol, and natural gas, have either consume other types of oil or combine
