Introduction 1. [pp: 2Albert]Albert Einstein once said: “The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.” 2. Nuclear power is a source of energy that occurs when a neutron is launched at an unstable atom like uranium or plutonium. A cool fact about nuclear power is that it is a scientific discovery that was funded by the military. The US called it the Manhattan project. The project existed

In these times with the areas of iron ore use increasing, it is very important to use raw material that not only increase the productivity but also produce a better quality iron. In order to get good quality of iron with efficient cost of production we have to choose the right raw material. Blast furnace raw material has changed in character greatly in the last 2 or 3 decades recent decades. Formerly, they used raw material as raw iron ores only, but now most of the raw ores are replaced by prefluxed

countries in terms of energy consumption. Currently, it is the fifth largest consumer of energy in the world, and will be the third largest by 2030. The country is heavily dependent on fossil sources of energy for most of its demand. Energy supply is a challenge and is becoming more so every minute. Producing fossil fuels is far from easy and nuclear energy with its irresponsible short- and long-term threats is not the solution either. The fact is that our approach to consuming energy needs to become responsible

INTRODUCTION HERE – WENDY Solar energy is one of the cleanest energy sources available and some of the richest resources in the world. With modern technology the solar energy can be harnessed for many different uses from providing electric, to heating and cooling, even heating up water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use. The solar market faces both challenges and opportunities; the industry is working to scale up production of solar technology. Solar energy can be stored in what they call

A study by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Sustainable Building and Construction Initiative (SBCI) have shown that the building and construction industry worldwide is responsible for a third of total energy use and in most parts of the world, the greatest contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) (UNEP-SBCI, 2009). One would therefore think that the efforts resulting from the Kyoto protocol which sets binding targets to reduce GHG emissions would focus on the Building and Construction

Personal energy production through the use of solar panels and wind generators in urban settings. Personal energy production through the use of solar panels and wind generators in urban settings. Many experts feel that urban renewable energy production through the use of solar panels and wind generators is not efficient or reliable enough to justify the steep financial investment required for equipment purchase and installation. With government tax credit extensions and new high-efficiency low-cost
