global warming. Others believe that advancements in producing cleaner cars is the key solution to global warming, but I believe that the most effective solution would be for electric companies to adopt renewable energy to power our nations, instead of harmful fossil fuels like coal. Most people have come to the conclusion that we have helped generate global warming and need to take some steps in fixing the damage we’ve caused, but many scientists still believe there is no way to stop climate change

low return Introduction C oal COAL INDIA LTD’s shareholder value is threatened by poor corporate governance, faulty reserve estimations, regulatory risk and macro-economic issues. India Limited is the world’s largest coal miner, with a production of 435 million metric tons (MT) in 2011 -201 2. There is significant pressure on CIL to deliver annual production growth rates in excess of 7%. The company has a 201 7 production target of 61 5 MT.[1 ] Coal India’s track record raises questions

that can be harnessed with little pollution. Anaerobic digestion, geothermal power, wind power, small-scale hydropower, solar energy, biomass power, tidal power, wave power, and some forms of nuclear power (ones which are able to "burn" nuclear waste through a process known as nuclear transmutation, such as an Integral Fast Reactor, and therefore belong in the "Green Energy" category). Some definitions may also include power derived from the incineration of waste. In this report we have discussed on

Nuclear Power During a time of hatred, indifference, and excessive pride for one’s country there was a war, a war between the Axis of Evil of WWII the major players being Germany, Italy, and Japan against the United States and its allies. The war caused a lot of deaths and casualties in addition to the destruction of whole cities during the combat. On the morning of August 6, 1945, Hiroshima, Japan was bombed with the most lethal weapon in world history, “The Atomic Bomb.” Not only did this seal

energy-crisis is nuclear power. Nuclear power, however is not as safe as burning coal, gas or oil in a factory it is in fact, much more dangerous, There are dangers associated with a nuclear power plant which far out weigh the benefits to society as a whole and in part to the community living and working around the power plant . About 20 percent of our nation's total electrical consumption per year is supplied by nuclear power from the 100 or so nuclear power plants throughout the country

burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, we would face tremendous problems. Not just the resources might run out, but we would also face pollution, and green-house effects. Failure to develop a new technology that would produce enough clean power, would be devastating result. So when we are trying to find a new technology, why don’t we use a way we already have? I propose nuclear energy, because it will produce clean energy, and it also is more effective than wind or solar power. This is an interesting

warming is a major issue that not only affects our nation, but threatens our world. Human activity accounts for more than a third of these harmful air pollutants. The production of electricity and coal burning power plants only contributes to the demise of our planet. In contrast, wind and solar power provide no threat of global warming emission. If we simply increase renewable energy supplies and replace fossil fuels, we can significantly decrease global warming. By contributing to global emissions

fuels such as oil and coal are changing the climate and making thousands of Americans sick. Coal burning power plants are poisoning the air and water. “Fossil fuels account for more than 80% of US global warming” (Jon Van, 1988). Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide in the air, creating a greenhouse effect that traps heat in the atmosphere making the Earth heat up. “Each year, an average of 24,000 Americans die as a result of pollution from coal burning power plants” (Greepeace, 2010).

Tsunami. Besides the immediate destruction caused by those natural disasters they triggered a fatal chain reaction leading to a partial meltdown (a complete meltdown was not confirmed so far but is not unlikely) in three reactors of the nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi. In Germany those events have caused a new uprising of the anti-nuclear-movement. Most people in Germany are in favour of a quick nuclear phase-out and the big political parties have very quickly adapted this opinion. The big question
