in day-to-day life is unlikely to go down in the future. The Industrial Revolution provided us many technologies that required the burning of fossil fuels to work properly. Today, most of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. Whether it is coal, oil, or natural gas, these fossil fuels are burned to help produce electricity for our use. The burning of fossil fuels can have detrimental effects on our environment. Greenhouse gases and other air pollutants are released from the burning of fossil

January 2012 Explain the classification of the selected energy resources shown Figure 1 shows nuclear power to have low economic impacts, but high economic costs and low social acceptability. Low environmental impacts of nuclear power stem from the lack of fossil fuels it produces, nuclear is a very clean energy and the only waste products caused by it are water vapour and toxic waste from atom splitting. However this toxic waste is very dangerous due to its high radioactivity, and takes thousands

technology of geothermal energy improved each year. In 1904, the first geothermal power plant was built in Larderello, Italy. Although geothermal energy's installation is expensive, it is an efficient and reliable energy resource which does not cause significant pollution, it is renewable, and we can predict the output power with remarkable accuracy. Commercial geothermal power projects which is the geothermal power plant, are expensive. The exploration and drilling of new reservoirs come with a steep

world are supplied by the drastic use of non-renewable sources of energy, which are mainly the fossil fuels or the nuclear fuels, which are no doubt very good, but will not last for ever, they will end very soon. By fossil fuels I am throwing light on coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc. which on combustion emits harmful gases such as carbon di oxide, carbon mono oxide which are harmful to the environment. Though the Renewable resources of energy which are the Solar Energy i.e. the energy from sun, Wind
