Nowadays, the electricity exerts a significant influence on individual's life, not only because the high demand of production in each country, also the diversity of peoples' lives. Therefore, the raw materials, such as oil, coal and gas, are highly demanded in the world. Known to all, however, these materials which are mentioned above are non-renewable resources, and their reserves will certainly, continuously and greatly decrease, so, exactly it is vital to reverse the irrational use of non-renewable

solved by good strategy. Analysis: The major key consideration for adding a power plant is environmental consequences like global warming, energy related emissions of carbon dioxide(C02) which accounted 61% of all green house gas emissions(stated by IPCC). Demand response put conservationist and consumers in the same page by sharing incentives to provide service without increase in emissions. This is a short term solution for generating capacity but from the environmental perspective energy savings

Fernando Aguirre AP English Mrs. Graney Can Global Warming Affect the Environment? Glaciers collapsing, animal species fading, and human lives disappearing are all part of the grand phenomenon, Global Warming. Alterations of global climates around the world are real, and are happening now. Sadly though, the only ones to blame are us simply because reside on this planet, and we manage this planet. Whatever we say goes. Therefore, we must take care of this rather

Mankind’s Helping Hand in Global Warming SGT Smith, Charlie Raymond Post University There is strong evidence of mankind's helping hand in global warming. The impact of mankind on the environment will prevent us from having a normal future. Over the past decade the world has suffered from extreme weather events caused by global warming. The Earth's average temperature raised an average of 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past 50 years (Which of These is Not Causing Global Warming Today

by raising animals. The production of one calorie of animal protein has more than ten times the fossil fuel input than that of one calorie of plant protein (One Green Planet). The U.S. food industry produces nearly twenty percent of CO2 emissions (IPCC). That is more than the exhaust from all transportation combined. Often, people say that if we stopped animal agriculture, we would have a huge surplus of animals. Obviously, it is not going to go away overnight. Gradually, the breeding of animals

increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which inturn have increased the average temperature on the earth’s surface. Greenhouse gases include water vapor, caborndixoide, nitrous oxide and methane. Acording to a report released by IPCC in 2007, there was a significant increase in production of greenhouse gases between the 19th and 20th century (Davis, 11). Increase in population has led to increased transportation and manufacturing. This implies rise in the combustion of fossil
