Alternative Energy In The United States

At the beginning of last year, I convinced my family to start using environmentally products, focusing on green technology. In order to apply environmental technology properly and effectively, I had to figure out what alternative forms of energy existed and how well they worked. This led to my questioning: what other forms of energy could the United States be pursuing to increase its production of electricity? In an effort to research different form of energy and their benefits and detriments, I read two articles: “A Letter to the Editor” by David Rockwood and “Why Uranium is the New Green” by William Sweet. In his letter, David Rockwood, a professional engineer, discusses the several inaccuracies and possible ramifications of wind power as a main source of electricity. Rockwood claims that wind power is unreliable because of flaws in its system and design, not to mention the detrimental environmental impact. Similarly, in his article William Sweet, a college graduate, talks about different ways to impose some kind of carbon regulation. Sweet compares nuclear and wind power to coal-burning power, remarking that nuclear and wind power technologies can make an immediate beneficial difference on greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the fact that Rockwood goes in depth on only wind power while Sweet talks about multiple sources of power, both of the articles made me think that the United States should pursue some other form of energy to increase its production of electricity.

While there is a plethora of ways to interpret the Bible, both Cone and Roberts approach Biblical interpretation in a unique way, with subtle but significant differences. Hermeneutics is not simply about interpreting the Bible, however, as Roberts points out that it is “an attempt on the part of people to understand one another and make themselves understood,” even though it often leans toward the field of theology. One of the key hermeneutical passages for black theologians is the exodus from Egypt, of which they agree for the most part. Cone takes this passage to mean that God showed mercy on the Israelites and saved them out of bondage, giving them a unique identity as God’s chosen people. Cone furthers this point by emphasizing that God

Alan Page took advantage of the scholarship that the University of Minnesota gave him and because of that opportunity he is now a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice. These college players need to take more of an interest in getting an education rather than falling back on their sports career. Because college athletes are given a full-ride scholarships they should not be paid. Colleges don’t have enough money to pay all athletes. To pay every athlete you would have to pay all of the players and to pay all of the players you would have to pay all of the different levels such as: NCAA Division 1, Division 2 and NAIA.

In recent years there has been great concern over the growing demand for energy, and the lack of non-renewable energy resources to meet the demand in the future. In addition, the question of “sustainability”—the ability to balance social, economic, and environmental needs in energy production to meet both current and long-term requirements—has come to the fore. It is clear that America must expand energy production quickly, and that we must develop renewable, sustainable energy sources to meet long-term demand and protect our future. There are many proposed solutions, such as wind and solar power. But the technology for these resources is not yet fully developed, making them, at best, low-output alternatives. Because renewable sources are

This short story by Langston Hughes carries out many central ideas and themes. Although one theme certainly caught my eye. Throughout the entire story the theme is carried out and developed through the main characters, and the actions they make. The predominant theme of this story was the sense of belonging, or lack thereof, which lead to many actions taking place. Towards the beginning of the story the boy is wandering the streets, just looking for his prey. He went in believing he would receive some type of monetary value, such as money, but he leaves with much more.

The United States is facing an energy crisis. Dependence on foreign oil has led to geopolitical conflict, and global fossil fuel consumption is damaging the environment at an alarming rate. Add to this an exploding world population, and it is clear that the US needs to find an alternative source of energy.

There are a lot of differences and similarities about Christianity and Confucism. Some of them are ... Jesus taught word of God where as, Confucius felt he passed on old teachings of wise people. Also,Confucius's goal was order in society and Christians goal is to save souls for Jesus. What I think is a very important fact is that Jesus and Christians want to teach their religion to everyone and Confucius was only willing to teach his religion to those who were willing to dedicate a lot of their time to learn and pay full attention to what Confucius was telling them.

On the same note, the energy revolution spoken of above brings forth another advance in the ongoing global climate situation. The nature of the Kyoto Protocol calls for nations to increase research and eventually semi-convert their energy usage to accommodate for cleaner energy. Products such as solar power, wind power, biomass, geothermal power, and hydropower are now widely being studying to create processes that use less coal, oil, and natural gas in production. Altogether the results have

In this day and age, we have new energy sources that could be used to power our homes and transportation. Wind and solar power are used all over the world, but are still used far less than fossil fuels. Most would say it’s not reliable or it doesn’t make any profit. While both statements are true, it doesn’t mean we can’t make a better future using renewable energy. In fact, the only reason we don’t use renewables for everything is that we don’t want to change. The hard truth is we need to change. Fossil fuels are great right now, but if we run out, humanity must have another source of energy.

With American population expected to increase by approximately fifty percent over the next fifty years, some sort of energy reform is needed (Lehrman 2). The most commonly proposed idea is for America to stop relying so heavily on fossil fuels, and to turn its focus onto renewable sources of energy, such as solar power and hydroelectricity (Energy Information Administration). If the United States could realize the benefits of renewable energy, then much of the world’s energy problems could be solved.

The Old Testament is tied together by a string of five major covenants that God made with His people. These five covenants are the Covenant with Noah, the Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic and the New covenant. The covenant with Noah was God’s promise that He would never destroy the earth and humankind with floods again. This sign of this covenant is the rainbow, this was after God sent a flood to destroy the wickedness that had become widespread on earth after the Fall of man: Genesis 9:11 “I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth”

For years man has relied on energy in order to be successful in life. The industrial revolution relied on coal for the new inventions brought into the world. Life as has never been the same since then. However since that time, there has been little done to improve on energy efficiency and humans still primarily rely on fossil fuels for energy. For over a hundred years the Earth has become more polluted and dirtier than ever before. Now, with new, innovative technology there is an opportunity to change that and to rely on renewable, cleaner sources of energy. The main source of energy for the world should be alternative energy instead of energy from fossil fuels.

America relies heavily on foreign sources for the energy to run the country. The issue has received much media attention due to the political and economic implications it will have in the near future. This problem could at least be partially solved by using technology that already exists, rather than relying heavily on ones that have yet to come to fruition. America’s energy woes – specifically its reliance on fossil fuels – can be solved by reviving nuclear energy with the use of politics to tackle perceived dangers, technological advancements to make them more feasible, and public outreach to promote acceptance.

There must be job growth for the economy to flourish. Alternative energy is the answer for that. According to the U.S. Department of Energy. “The clean energy industry generates hundreds of billions in economic activity, and is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years.” [3] Alternative energy will create job growth along with new opportunities for workers and startup of new business. Our economy requires these opportunities for growth. In a

Nonrenewable energy is a problem in the United States. Wars have been fought for the use of oil and other nonrenewable resources. One article even suggests that, “The energy crisis of the 1970’s drove up gasoline prices, sent the economy into a tailspin and prompted lawmakers and government agencies to develop new energy polices.” (“Are renewable energy sources viable alternatives to fossil fuels”). For many years the question on people’s minds has been, when are we going
