States is less than 5% of the entire world, we in America consume a quarter of the world’s energy resources (Energy.gov, 2009). 21% of the nation’s energy usage is accounted for residential consumption where we spend average more than $2000 per year for energy related bills. From 1950 to 2009, American energy consumption practically tripled due to increased population and at the same time the development of standard of living. The population of United States nearly doubled during this time and the average

Gertrude Edwards Clement Yedjou 12/08/214 The amount of energy in an isolated system is conserved eventually, energy can be changed from its original form to a different form are from one object to another. This energy law applies use which is taken energy and changing into a different form, one example is Solar Energy; energy from the sun can be changed in to useable energy for homes, schools, hospitals etc. The energy conservation law also applies to considering that some energy is wasted

Sources of Energy The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy stored in a system will be constant throughout time. Since energy remains constant in a system, it cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted into other forms of energy (Law of Conservation, n.d.). Other forms of energy use include fossil fuels, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind power, water (hydro) power, and bio-conversion (biofuel). There are both pros and cons in using these various

sustainable source of energy it musn’t deplete resources or causes long term environmental damage for future generations. Because it is a non-renewable energy source it cannot be classed as a sustainable source as it will run out in 200 years at current consumption. However, it can be thought of as an environmentally sustainable source of energy if managed the correct way. Unlike other non-renewable energy sources such as coal, nuclear power does not release any CO2 emissions, which is a strong positive

give light, heat or provide mechanical power. Energy resources are; wind, coal, solar energy, geothermal wells, ocean tides and moving water. Some energy resources can be transformed and transferred from their natural form or location to be other consumption sites (Dewulf 2221). We shall discuss electricity and coal. Electricity is obtained from the environment by harnessing mechanical power from wind, moving water, ocean tides, coal and others. We shall focus on electricity collected from geothermal

Urbanization Analysis, Green Options & Global Warming Strategies Part 1 GEO/215 A population trend that has been growing substantially over the last 100 years is called Global Urbanization. Living far from resources can make daily life hard for millions of people residing in rural environments, so they choose to move closer to cities where resources are easy to come across. This trend has led to the continuing growth of thousands of cities all over the world, but with these types of trends

grows tremendously day by day. Growth of data demands of data center for storage and management purposes. According to a report, digital data will increase approximately 44 times of current situation, which increases demand of data centers. Power consumption by data centers will increase accordingly,which causes different problems in addition with CO2 emission. Another report says that CO2 emission from data centers may exceed from any air line CO2 emission by 2020.which is an alarming situation for
