Modern Marvels: Renewable Energy

Modern Marvels: Renewable Energy

In the young 21st Century, two realizations are dawning on the world's population: we are hopelessly dependent on petroleum, which is only going to get more expensive; and global warming, caused mainly by our burning of fossil fuels, will impact civilization in ways that we're only beginning to grasp. Stepping in to fight both of these massive problems are the rapidly evolving technologies that harness renewable energy. We will see how air, water, earth, and fire are transformed into clean, reli

Susan asks…

How dependent might we become on Tribal Energy Companies?

As we seek renewable energy resources, I foresee that Native Americans with resource rich reservations might gain a lot of influence in the energy market.

I am writing a research paper on this topic. I would greatly appreciate any links, sources, or info.

Renewable: The World-Changing Power of Alternative Energy

Renewable: The World-Changing Power of Alternative Energy

Where does the energy we use come from? It’s absolutely vital to every single thing we do every  day, but for most people, it is utterly invisible. Flick a switch and the lights go on. It might as well be magic. Science writer Jeremy Shere shows us in Renewable: The World-Changing Power of Alternative Energy that energy is anything but magical. Producing it in fossil fuel form is a dirty, expensive—but also hugely profitable— enterprise, with enormous but largely hidden costs to the entir

Your Questions About Renewable Energy World

Sandy asks…

Renewable energy and our place in the world?

Will renewable energy help or hinder with our relations with other countries around the world?

admin answers:

Clearly help.
The US is the country most in denial of global warming.
And the worst offender.

Anything we do in that direction cannot help but bee seen as a good thing.

Even better, the less oil we use, the more prices come down, making them have to pay less.
We get to win twice.

Daniel asks…

Integration of conventional and energy plants for the utilization of renewable energy sources?

I need to write project on this topic “Integration of conventional and energy plants for the utilization of renewable energy sources”. Any web sites or literature will help me! Any help is appreciated…

admin answers:

Do web searches on “co-fuels” or “cofuel” fired steam plants. A number of cities around the world use them for steam production for their central steam heat facilities and for electricity generation. Many utilize windfall and dead fall trees.

All it really means is that things like shredded tires and coal for example, or trash and coal, or trash and natural gas.

Many things moss peat can be burned along with coal or instead of coal to produce heat.

Anyone who supports nuclear is mal informed about nuclear and those companies promoting it. It leaves a legacy that will last longer than the sun, and it is an energy source that the global society has outgrown as it has matured, just as you outgrew your doctor dentons as you matured. Nuclear drinking water is a real possibility because so much is stored along rivers that supply or feed into rivers that supply drinking water to over half the US population. And they will be contaminated because dry cask storage was a short term fix that has become long term- they leak or now, or soon will.

Nuclear gives new meaning to “…a beaming smile…”

Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Development

Ruth asks…

What is Canada’s role in sustainable development projects?

I need to study for my Biology test (grade 12) and I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.
If someone could give me a link or something helpful, that would be great.
Thank you!

admin answers:

You would have to be more specific, sustainable development of what? In an energy sense, Canada pursues many alternative energy techniques (for example wind farms and solar energy). The best way would probably be to talk about government incentives on sustainable projects. You would have to research them, but the Canadian government provides subsidies and tax breaks on sustainable powered homes, cars, business, etc.

Hope this helps.

William asks…

How are renewable and non-renewable energy sources diffrent?List two examples of each of these types of energy?

How are renewable and non-renewable energy sources diffrent?List two examples of each of these types of energy

admin answers:

I am glad you are interested in this question because it is important that we should reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources. Future generations will not thank us for wasting such resources.

Coal and oil are examples of non-renewable energy sources. They are fossil fuels obtained from the ground and were created millions of years ago during a phase in the earth’s development that is over. So as we use these resources less is available for the future. Furthermore burning fossil fuels creates pollution.
Solar panels and wind mills are examples of renewable resources because collecting such energy has little or no impact on its availability for the future.

But it may be worth pointing out that the term “renewable” is confusing. What we really mean is “sustainable”.

Best wishes for a more sustainable future.

Your Questions About Renewable Energy For Kids

Robert asks…

What do YOU think about limiting the amount of kids a family can have?

I’m writing a persuasive essay on this topic. I believe in global warming and that a major cause of it is over population. Maybe if we limit 2-3 kids per family it will help the environment. I want YOUR opinion. Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Would it work? Anything helps =]

admin answers:

Population isn’t the problem, it’s the prevalent waste of resources and lack of renewable energy use.

Sharon asks…

Anyone else feel a car czar is kind of a slap in the face of the already strapped American taxpayer?

And while our government is at creating more beauracracy and entities …What about a trade deficit czar? or a jobs going overseas czar?..Jobs over the border czar? …Illegal immigration czar?…Wall street corruption czar?..renewable energy czar?
The press stated that the appointment of the car czar would ease tensions and allow passage of the bail out money.

admin answers:

Exceptionally good point, Big Bro.

I suppose car czar is to inflict accountability on the big 3. Which is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has gone.

But if the loan has already had monies sitting there (for how many years?) for developing green cars, making them account for every single penny would be a refreshing change. Hopefully, such a person could keep the UAW in check.

Maybe we could get the other czars nominated retroactively!

Incidentally, speaking of unions — how about this one in Chicago where the workers have taken over the company and are “sitting in” because they weren’t given 60 days notice before being laid off? Who cares if the company is simply unable to get a loan to pay their wages? They’d better get out and sell their first born kids or something.

We need a union czar.
