is to find locations to catch the wind. Wind resource analysis and research will help identify the best places. Meteorological investigations and studies are performed looking for sites in which the average wind speed is appropriate for the wind turbines to be used. Wind speeds on average of 17+ miles per hour are ideal. Wind is typically monitored for six months to two years to corroborate the company’s

go into detail on wind farms in Ireland both on and off shore. Wind farms are a group of wind turbines that create energy by using the natural resource that is wind to rotate three blades that are used to run a generator stored at the top of the turbine. In this report the location of wind farms will be discussed and their advantages and disadvantages. Also the installation of both on and offshore turbines will be examined. In addition Ireland and the need for wind farms will be investigated in greater

the minds of the government of Canada and various others around the world. Oil is a fossil fuel which is derived from the remains of prehistoric organisms and with its rapid depletion, the concern of applying an alternative becomes evident. Oil and gas industries provide 7 billion people with 60% of their daily energy needs. From a toddler playing with his plastic toys to an old man with his hearing aid; everyone has some sort of dependency on the oil industry. This is due to the fact that many household

The Eight Types of Alternative Fuel There are different kinds of alternative fuels in the world at present. There are eight different types of alternative fuels which are Ethanol, Natural Gas, Propane, Hydrogen, Bio-Diesel, Electricity, Methanol and P-series. All these alternative fuels have different properties, different source used, and different vehicle's used and different impact on the environment and on the world. But one point to be noted is that even though they have different impact on

Global Warming: A Serious Problem for our World Trey Lee Northeastern State College Intro to Environmental Global Warming Global warming is a serious problem for our world. Global warming is an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted

The Future is Now My first assignment as a senior analyst at Tesla Motors is to evaluate the changing relationship between our environment and the energy we use ever since the company was established. Since the largest automobile company in the world was founded on the principle of decreasing the environmental impact of the automobile, I find that such an assignment must be taken seriously and with careful consideration. While searching for some ideas, I stumbled upon in my bookshelf a book entitled

Since the beginning of time, mankind has been using energy and converting it to different forms. This conversion of energy from one form to another is known as Thermodynamics. Energy conversion takes place in our every day lives. Many conversions of energy are possible, such as chemical to heat, heat to mechanical, hydraulic to electrical or mechanical. Almost all energy can be converted from one form to another (Kehmani, 2010). Examples of energy conversion can be seen in day to day life. For
