impact on the society for the past few decades. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration, Americans had consumed around 136.78 billion gallons of gasoline in the year, which is around 375million gallons are consumed daily (U.S. Energy Information Administration). Among these amounts of gasoline consumed, U.S. transportation fuel consumptions account over 70% oil and 45% of the total U.S. consumption is gasoline. (American Energy Independence). The above stats show the high dependency of U.S

fall. Enron’s surge to the top From energy to trading Kenneth Lay was one of the key spokesmen when it came to deregulation of the energy market, much because of his personal connection to the Bush family. In the early 1990's the United States congress approved a legislation that deregulated the sale of natural gas. Not long before this Lay was one of the initiators that made it possible to sell electricity on the free market. This major deregulation in the energy market gave Enron

term. Anthropogenic climate change is having a substantial effect on natural and biological organisms on a global scale, and is considerably more severe in some continents. Below I will state my argument on how we need to do something now and for future generations. “Anthropogenic climate change refers to the production of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity” (Anthropogenic, 2012, Para 1). Anthropogenic climate change is in fact becoming more obvious even to people who usually do not have

not been viewed as one that has a large impact on the natural environment, especially when compared to industries such as oil, gas, and consumer product manufacturing industries. However, hotels contribute to negative environmental impacts through energy and water usage, importing non-durable goods, as well as emitting a large amount of carbon dioxide. Hotel water consumption for laundry, showers, toilets, dishwashers, swimming pools, spas, golf course irrigation, as well as for other amenities, can

Diatoms store energy from converted sunlight. The diatoms fell to the bottom of the ocean and were covered by sediment and layers of rock. The pressure and heat from the other layers of rock and sediment caused the carbon in the diatoms to breakdown into oil. Pockets of oil were formed as the earth moved and changed (Energy Story, 2011). Coal is created from plant remains that lived millions of years ago. Coal contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur (Energy Story, 2011).

Energy sector All businesses depend directly on the energy sector which is the largest single market in the world. Some energy companies trade in fossil fuels (coal,gas and petroleum) while others supply electricity or fuel to end users.Many of the products derived from petroleum, like plastic, chemicals and fertilizers are essential components or ingredients for industry. As petroleum reserves become scarcer this drives up oil prices and encourages companies and governments to develop alternative

focused on Energy Scavenging Systems (ESS) which is used to harvest the environmental energy and to convert it into electrical energy. The objective of an ESS is to replace the batteries, which are the classical power sources or to extend their life time as long as possible. A Self-Supplied Integrable Active High-Efficiency Piezoelectric Energy Scavenging System (ESS) was proposed in this paper. This paper presents an innovative, totally integrated, ambient mechanical energy scavenging
