to Drill HUM/111 Many debates are centered on energy. Some people think that we should decrease our dependency on oil and invest in alternative energy, other people believe that we do not need a new power source; we should be using our own oil and not that of foreign countries. I am not on one side or the other necessarily. I think that we should decrease our dependency on foreign oil. I also think that we should look into alternatives to oil. Many people choose one side or the other based

Hoban Axia College of University of Phoenix I agree with the development of alternative sources of energy such as solar power and clean coal. Alternative energy source is defined as any energy source that will replace oil and coal. These sources include solar power, windmills, natural gas, and nuclear energy. These alternatives alone will not help save our planet. However, the potential behind these alternatives is exciting and hopeful. If there is a chance to save our planted from more damage

Gasoline And Oil Prices: Present And Our Future Antony T. Zavatter Com 150 Professor Johnson April 25, 2010 Imagine someone at the gas station on a beautiful spring day. As they are filling the tank, they look up and see the price has risen five cents overnight or comparing in their mind, the most recent gas bill from the previous month. “Where do these prices come from?” This is a question most people have asked themselves at one point

diverse species creating a natural balance, biodiversity is at the root of almost all cultures and conservation practices. In the film, Regeneration Principle: Biomass, the main focus is the use of plants as a source of clean renewable fuel for energy. The impact of this would be for the most part positive, but would all depend on how it was managed. These plants would need to be grown and harvested in a way that would not disturb the natural balance of the local ecosystem. If it is naturally

different kinds of renewable resources that used to generate electric power such as solar and wind power. Recently, scientists created a new kind of renewable power which is tidal power. Tidal power is “the generation of electricity from the hydraulic energy that is produced by tidal currents of the ocean”(Culture&Morris,2006,p.449). This power depends on the gravitational tug from the moon which can produce a swift tide (Roach, 2003), and it basically works as an underwater windmills. There are many

Renewable Energy Why should we promote renewable energy? According to the United States White House, one gigawatt of electricity created by renewable energy can power 290,000 homes for an entire year (White House, n.d.). There are numerous advantages to renewable energy. Once fossil fuels run out, the world will be forced to rely on renewable energy sources. Renewable energy can create energy without creating harmful emissions and further polluting the Earth. The solution for more energy is not

BlueEnergy Philip Ball,(June 2015), Blue Energy: How mixing water can create electricity, http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150610-blue-energy-how-mixing-water-can-create-electricity Philip Ball says that when the intriguing chemistry that occurs where rivers meet the sea could power our homes and much more. It is perhaps one of the most under-exploited sources of green energy. When salt water and fresh water mix in estuaries, a chemical process occurs that can be harnessed for electricity

effectiveness and efficiency of the heating and cooling process. For example, there are many ideas that can help to lower the cost of heating and cooling which will help not our troops but also our environment. The military is also putting much thought into energy management and the continuation of standardized shelters. Lowering the costs of heating and cooling of our troops is a primary goal for our military. However, they do not want to just simply lower the cost of heating and cooling by making our
