sustainable source of energy For nuclear power to be considered 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

Name Institution Course Instructor Date Energy resources Energy resources are things that can provide energy to 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

& 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 the pollution growth rate has been

the data. All the data handling equipment consume a huge amount of energy. To run a data center, it needs power or energy i.e. electricity. It has some effects on surroundingswhich can be either environmental for example CO2 emission, heat etc. or non-environmental decrease in efficiency. In order to make it efficient with both aspects environmental and non environmental there are some mechanisms so that a data center could be energy efficient and environment friendly. We can call it green data centers

recent years. This is mostly brought about by the excessive use of non renewable sources of energy such as coal and other fossil fuels. These non renewable sources of energy are characterized by excess carbon emission to the atmosphere which causes this kind of environmental damaged with time due to the destruction of ozone layer. It is thus apparent from part 1 of the research that renewable sources of energy such as use of solar, biomass, geothermal, wind and other renewable sources can be used as
