Should the global super powers lead an effective way in developing renewable energy? Global super powers rely heavily on energy, so therefore they should develop and fund renewable energy sources. Small countries have a smaller need. They do not have as much capital, so they rely on the global superpowers. Renewable energy is the cleanest way to keep earth clean and free of pollution. Global powers have the resource to advance renewable energy quickly. They have professional people, machinery

important to explore other cheap sources of power to meet our urban and rural energy need. This will in no small measure support our national grid and reduce rural-urban drift. The heavy dependence on gas generated by the Nigeria National Petroleum Co-operation (NNPC) to power our turbines at our gas plants often exposes the country to power outage due to high cost of maintenance and vandalism. Applying biomass technology to generate power can help the country develop its energy sector more rapidly

water as an alternative energy source is much better than any other because it is not contaminating and it is a resource that is available worldwide. Energy sources like coal and oil pollute the environment and produce toxic waste and greenhouse gas; this gas increases the levels of CO2 emissions and contributes to the fast rising of Global Warming (Hesterman). According to The Free Dictionary by Farlex, Hydropower is the energy produced by running or falling water that is used for driving machinery

eventually be used as an energy source. As solid waste decomposes it gives off a gas which is comprised of roughly fifty percent methane, fifty percent carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of non-methane organic compounds. Landfill gas can be collected, converted, and used as an energy source instead of being released into the atmosphere. This is done by using a series of wells and a blower/flare (or vacuum) system. The collected gas is then directed to a central point where it can be processed and treated

burned to heat water to create steam to generate electricity and Combustion turbine Oil is burned under pressure to produce hot exhaust gases which spin a turbine to generate electricity. Oil is widely use in our everyday lives even though the try to develop other means of energy oil will be always the number source of energy (http://powerscorecard.org). Fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and

Define what we mean by fossil fuels and explain why they are an attractive source of energy. Fossil fuels are natural resources that can be converted into energy by a simple combustion process. The main types of fossil fuels used are coal, natural gas, and petroleum (Oracle). Some of the advantages of fossil fuels are that they are easily distributed, relatively inexpensive, are readily available, and can be converted through a simple combustion process (Oracle). Coal is a fossil fuel and is

Statement Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) is building a way to the future with innovation that sets new standards for the Oil Drilling and Gas Extraction Industry. Business Proposal “The world isn’t running out of oil and natural gas. It is running out of easy oil and gas,” Leber, (2012). The technology used to recover oil and natural gas from wells has not changed in the past decade. Our business model for this new division will guide PXP into the future by incorporating digital oil

American Intercontinental University SCIE210-1301A-05 Environmental Science Unit 3 Individual Project Instructor Beverly Hamilton Abstract There have been laws passed about the use of different energy which include fossil fuel: oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind power, water (hydro) power, and bioconversion (biofuel) these laws could allow the possibility of tax incentives. The use of different types of natural energy can pave the way for a greener earth. Although

converts to chemical energy to heat energy. What we mean by fossil fuels is that Fossil fuels are energy resources that come from the remains of plants and animals. These remains are millions of years old. Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, provide the energy that powers our lifestyles and our economy. Fossil fuels are a finite, non-renewable resource. They remain the primary source for the production of electricity. Fossil Fuel is an attractive source of energy because it is the only
