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

at an informed decision point and to choose an appropriate environmentally correct technology, requires that a number of very essential evaluations be made, primary among which are, first to select categorically, the appropriate energy source that best matches the “work” to be performed. While this seems obvious one need only look at the case of ethanol from corn to understand what we are talking about.

potatoes, fruit, milk, yogurt, etc.) are especially important for athletes because they supply the body with glucose for energy. Extra glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, your energy reserve. During short bursts of exercise such as sprinting, basketball, gymnastics, or soccer, your body relies on glycogen to keep your blood sugar levels stable and thus maintain your energy. If you don’t have enough glycogen, you may feel very tired or have difficulty sustaining the activity – effects

which makes use of both the traditional petrol driven engine and an electric motor. This electric motor allows the Prius to switch off its petrol engine when stationary; and recharge the electric motor using the kinetic energy produced when braking. This not only conserves a lot of energy and petrol, and also allows for a smoother drive in the city areas which tend to have greater road congestion. Toyota’s largest target market would be educated working adults in developed urbanised countries especially

and superior means of power generation for homes. Solar energy is known as photovoltaic. This type means that the electricity or energy that is acquired directly from the sun’s light. In order to understand how photovoltaic energy works we must first understand light and its relation with the process of photovoltaic energy. Light is what we see all around us, it can come from different sources such as light bulbs, but for photovoltaic energy the light source is the sun. Electron movement in an atom
