Argumentative Essay: The Future Of Wind Power

Swimming in the ocean on a beautiful beach, the sun shining, the water is the perfect temperature, you have zero worries in the world. Until you feel a bump on your leg and notice someone on shore screaming and pointing in your direction, duh dum. You bring yourself out of your reverie and notice a very large fin protruding from the water moving towards you, duhh dumm. Your heart starts racing as you frantically think of your chances of being able to swim away from this monster coming your direction with increasing speed, duh dum dum dum dum. With simple notes of a tuba, John Williams could amplify the fear portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s movie Jaws (1975). These simple notes would carry on to be a standard to symbolize something terrifying

As the world population rises, we are using more and more energy and it is depleting faster than ever. Our fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will not last forever and at some point we will have to switch over completely to renewable energy sources. While most of the world still uses non-renewable energy sources, the future will rely on renewable energy and its applications. Right now, over 90% of the world still uses fossil fuels and developing countries even burn wood to generate energy. At the rate we are using our fossil fuels, they will not last us far into the 22nd century. Additionally, big consumers of fossil fuels like China, U.S., Russia, and India are creating large amounts of pollution and it is only increasing. For instance, India has major issues with pollution because of heavy traffic (which releases more fuel emissions into the air), the burning of biomass (wood and other organic matter), and runoff into lakes and rivers. Right now, our biggest goal should be to figure out how to implement more forms of renewable energy in our own society. We should start using renewable energy in America because: it is more environmentally friendly, opens up the job market, and improves the health of the public.

Unlike its sister energy supply, fossil fuels, wind power is a clean resource. Wind turbines don’t pollute the air like power plants, which rely on the burning of coal or natural gas. They’re free from producing atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gases.

With many people come many opinions and sides. For example, school start times have become a big argument. Some believe that everything should stay the same and that students are fine the way things are. Then, there is the other side who believes that changing the school start times to later in the day will help the students tremendously. I am on the side of things should stay the same.

America should pursue alternative energy sources because “With only 5 percent of the worlds population, the United States consumes almost one-quarter (22.5%) of global energy”. (((Josef Bram, 15))) With such a small percentage of the world’s population and still one of the largest consumers of energy the U.S should be looking for new and better ways to generate energy. Currently The U.S’s energy is supplied using traditional sources. According to Canadian scientist and policy analyst Vaclav Smil “Todays energy 29% from coal, 33% from oil and gas, and 33% from soft-energy (alternative sources)” (((Smil, 47))) Most of the energy we use on a daily basis is not produced using clean methods. Some alternative energy sources that are already in place within the United Stats are wind, solar, and hydraulic.

Beginning as early as the 700s, a written record was kept to preserve the stories told by previous generations so that they may not be lost. As the tradition continued, many authors, mostly male, added to the growing plethora of literature and a central ideal began to develop. From an unknown author’s Beowulf, to Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Sonnet number 29, authors took turns chiseling at that ideal with their diction until one general shape began to develop. As a whole, men are obsessed with their image, something that these authors were not immune to.

The second major negative effect is on wildlife. Although wind turbines are effect alternative energy that used to generated electricity, the hidden threat is a devastating wildlife such as bird and bat collision with the turbine. Bird and bat fly through space at a low pressure; therefore, make birds and bats lose balance in flight. A study analysis shows that 20-40 birds are exterminated by the wind turbines each year (Rosenbloom, 2006). The construction of wind turbines resulted in the diversity and population of the birds and bats decrease, it never come back again after start to use the wind turbine. Though wind turbine is not located directly on the food. Notwithstanding the impact of wind turbines is not a major problem, if neglected

The energy crisis in America is often placed on the back burner to the average American citizen. Generally, one will only care about this crisis when the price of gas changes. The energy crisis, however, is a prominent issue as it is “ongoing and getting worse, despite many efforts” (Rinkesh). The world’s natural resources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, cannot supply the world’s increasing demand. The amount of crude oil available is only 2 percent higher than the demand for it (Muise). If the demand expands any higher, then the limited supply of natural resources “will be gone for good” (“Learn about Energy”). It is projected that there is enough oil to last 34 more years, enough natural gas to last 53 more years, and enough coal

Throughout my life, many people have impacted me. Whether it be a teacher, a fellow classmate, a parent, or even a celebrity, someone has influenced me in some way. I have found that the older I get, the more I really think about life and what really matters in this world. Some people would say that materialistic items are the key to happiness, while others will disagree by saying that possessions cannot fill the void in your life forever. There will always be something that you will want so that you can maintain the happiness that is put into possessions. Others will say that conformity is a popular thing in society and the only way to be happy is to conform to the way society says you should. Many people will completely agree with that because they are afraid to stand out in a world that tells them it is not okay to be different or to be an individual. If you want to be truly happy, one must break away from the chains of conformity. To live in a world that tells us who we should be is the greatest waste that anyone could fall susceptible to.

Hydroelectric power has been used for many years. And over the past few years, it has grown throughout our country. Using an alternative energy source will overall become the best solution for the loss of nonrenewable energy sources. 7% of people using renewable energy are using Hydroelectric power. This might not seem like much, but it compares to the other alternatives knowing only 4% of people use solar power. People have been collecting energy from moving water for centuries, and why not put this to use. I believe that hydroelectric energy is the ¨best¨ source for a few reasons. First i'm going to define what being the best means. The best means that it is overall going to help us in the future by using what he already have. It doesn't have to necessarily be the cheapest but it does have to do the job and last as long as possible so that the country can be able to thrive with an alternate energy source. The first reason it´s the best is that the country is already using it. It's the most used source of renewable energy.This makes it easier to expand the usage as more people are influenced. The second reason is that it uses materials we already have. Water covers 71% of the earth, and this can make hydroelectric energy the most reasonable to use.

Energy is everywhere it 's in your phone to your community’s hospital. Many years ago humans lived with no energy supply, now in 2016 it 's essential. As energy was discovered and objects which consumed such energy the demand increased, as a result so did the search for sources to obtain such power, people relied on coal, nuclear power, etc. all which contaminated the planet. However, there are also alternative energy power produced by renewable resources such as, solar with solar panels, river currents hydro power, or even wind with wind turbines. Wind turbines are seen along the road, but what are they? Why should people keep pursuing this energy source? Wind turbines work to produce energy, and are also essential, not only for people but for the planet.

For nearly everyone on earth, fossil fuels are a part of our daily lives. Some of the more obvious places to find petroleum products would be gas and diesel in cars and trucks, but it is in more than just your tank. Without fossil fuels, we would not have things such as plastic to make a wide variety of things such as tires, kayaks, or even computers. The question remains, do we need fossil fuels?

Wind Energy is a viable industry that has become a valuable energy source. The energy generated from wind is clean and efficient. The wind energy industry helps to ensure that electric demands are met, wildlife impact is minimal, the environment is not devastated, as well as creates new jobs during the construction of wind farms, daily operations, manufacturing components, and exporting components to foreign countries.

We have the ability to reduce our dependency on burning fossil fuels that damage the environment and the solution is Offshore Wind Power. The difference in solar heating between the earth 's equator and the poles, together with the earth 's rotation, creates flows of air called wind. We can capture this form of solar energy with wind turbines that convert it into electrical energy. Creating this type of energy has little harmful impact to our environment, unlike other energy being created by fossil fuels.

The issue here is should Wind Technology compete in the HVPS market?
