electrical energy. Define what we mean by fossil fuels and explain why they are an attractive source of energy. Fossil fuels are organic fuels that contain the stored radiant energy of the Sun converted to chemical energy by plants or animals that lived millions of years ago; coal, petroleum, and natural gas are the common fossil fuels. Describe two different energy alternatives to fossil fuels in detail. Discuss how they work, how they compare with

planet may become too hot for human civilization to live on. We (the U.S.) are driving these climate changes by burning fossil fuels, such as, coal and oil. Coal fired power plants are the one thing that produces the most pollution within the U.S. I admire what the Greenpeace organization does because they are trying to get factories/companies to stop burning coal and other fossil fuels and start a clean energy movement. I think companies need organizations like this to make them realize that their

Non-renewable resources Most developed nations are dependent on the non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels (coal and oil) and nuclear power. It means that a resources that is replaced slowly by natural earth processes in such a way that once used by people, it will not be available again within a useful time frame. Example of non-renewable resources includes oil, coal, rocks, and minerals. b) Renewable resources Renewable resources have become a focal point of the environmental movement

Nuclear Notes Nuclear energy is a way of creating heat through the fission process of atoms. All power plants change heat into electricity by using steam. The heat that produces the steam is created by fission, which occurs when atoms split apart. This process also creates energy in the form of heat. The neutrons that are released repeats the process making more nuclear energy. This process is called a chain reaction. The heat from the fission boils the water and creates steam to turn a turbine
