Name: Julian Burroughs Grade: 12 Subject: Biology Topic: Global Warming Intro: Define Global Warming Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain

Uranium is a common radioactive element found in abundance mainly in the Earth’s crust. Uranium-235 (U-235) is the most significant variety of uranium, used in the production of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Nuclear power is commonly recognized as a potentially problematic and, to a certain degree, dangerous source of generating electrical energy. However, the manageability and advantages of uranium mining trigger a debate within the public: do the benefits of uranium mining outweigh the potential

cornstalks and stubble to a plant that would convert it to a fuel might be too far a distances to make it worthwhile. Another option is solar power, using the sun can produce clean electricity, to power a home or charge a car. [Excess electricity from an efficient solar electric system can be sold to the electric company generating money for the owner] (University of Phoenix, 2008). The renewable energy sources are becoming more competitive as energy prices increase. [Wind power is being heard near the

Savings E. Conclusion F. References Abstract In July 2004, Fluor Corporation was awarded a $533 million contract to plan, develop, construct, and bring online a new 242-megawatt coal plant for mining operations in Dunphy, Nevada. The customer, Newmont Nevada Energy Investment Ltd., sought to eliminate the power costs associated with the local energy grid, which accounted for 25% of the mine’s total operational costs. After years of planning and team building, unforeseen obstacles presented themselves

but due to the limited government involvement, we can also say that the US has a Market Economy. An example of this is production of electricity by a coal burning plant. There is no limit on how much electricity can be made or how much coal can be used but the government has regulated how much pollution may be produced as a result of burning the coal. A mixed economy is an economy in which most economic decisions result from the interaction of buyers and sellers in markets but in which the government

CHAPTER FOUR Student’s Name Institution of affiliation Summary Renewable energy is that which uses natural phenomena such as wind, tide, sunlight, plant growth ( biomass), geothermal heat among others. In fact, it is said, “Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms, it derives directly from sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower

their tepees (and sod huts). This was probably the first use of biomass energy in America. Early settlers learned from the Indians to heat their sod huts. After the buffalo became extinct, cow chips were used. On the plains there weren’t many trees and coal had not been discovered there, so this was a matter of survival (Whyte n.d.). Once the chips were dried in the sun they were almost odorless, and placed outside the tepees and sod huts. Western pioneers would modify their stoves to burn cow
