Impacts of an Energy Plan

Renewable resources can be used as things that come naturally within Earth and will not run out; including but not limited to solar power, wind power and hydroelectric power. According to Document B, “BP’s (British Petroleum) intention to step up investments in solar energy.” , “WIth twice the fuel economy and half the CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions of conventional cars.” (talking about the world’s first hybrid electric car), and finally “Denmark now generates (some) of its electricity from wind power and ... from the combustion of agricultural waste.”. Using any and all of these renewable resources can be the start to a new beginning of the end of fossil fuels.

"All the leadership had spent their early years in England. They were influenced by British thought, British ideas, that is why our leaders were always telling the British "How can you do these things? They're against your own basic values.". We had no hatred, in fact it was the other way round - it was their values that made us revolt."

Energy conservation is an important subject to address for many reasons. Oil resources, which most of the energy used today derives from, are depleting quickly. The more scarce these resources become, the more expensive it will cost. The production and consumption of this energy source is also bad for the environment. If nothing changes, then oil resources will be used up soon, prices will be high and global warming will be even worse. Through my presentation, I want to convey the message that action needs to take place to save the future. I want to teach the lesson that this problem will not go away by itself. I also want to talk about ways change can be done.

As a evergrowing country, we need reliable energy resources. We need sources that wouldn’t require a large plant, cause environmental effects, be cheap enough to afford, would be something that is easily replenished, and something that would be safe to use. For example, burning coal (a nonrenewable source) is not good for the environment. We are suffering consequences such as more holes in the Ozone layer from using more than needed fossil fuels. Pollution is also a highly equal problem we are facing.

So how much energy did you use today? Probably you have little or no idea. You are not alone. Unfortunately, this is just one of many resource-related questions that require our attention yet receive little of it. Others include: Which energy sources did you use?; What was the price of the energy per kilowatt-hour produced?; Where did this energy originate from both geologically and geopolitically?; Is the energy source that you used exhaustible?; What social and ecological damage can result from the use of this energy source and how does this compare with other available ones? All of these questions require our attention if we are going to contribute to the dialogue concerning our national energy policy.

Fossil fuels are an important part of life. When you turn on the lights, watch TV, or take a shower, the electricity that you are using is being generated by fossil fuels. The three types of fossil fuels are coal, crude oil, and natural gas. They all take millions of years to form, so they are considered to be “non-renewable”- eventually, the fossil fuels will all be used up. One dangerous biological effect of using fossil fuels is ocean acidification. Extracting and transporting fossil fuels can also be very dangerous. Environmentally damaging accidents such as groundwater contamination, land subsidence, and oil spills occur frequently. Global warming is another possible environmental effect. Fossil fuels have a crucial role in modern

The year is 2200. The world is going through a fossil fuel shortage. Oil reserves are almost completely consumed and it is becoming impossible to find new fossil fuel sources. Not prepared for this event to occur, The United States, has no alternative options. As a result of the oil shortage, the standard of living deteriorates. Heat in homes, supermarkets full of food, and transportation, all basic necessities taken for granted, will be depleted because fossil fuels are used to power almost everything. The key to the prevention of this future is renewable energy. Unfortunately the support for the use of renewable energy is weak and ineffective. Unless the US puts forth effort to research and promote the use of renewable energy to

The original concerns of energy planners and energy planning, is the conservation of energy sources. The Levy text,

Human health is personally affected, and it creates serious risks for all other organisms too. The ways that I have been personally affected by the use of nonrenewable fossil fuels is by the emissions of different gases into the atmosphere and having breathed them in over the last eighty-five years. I have contracted asthma and chronic bronchitis from the poor air quality.

The U.S. must create new ways of replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. The benefits of switching over to these sources are endless and so are the life span of these energy sources. Renewable resources have been around since Earth has been created and will continue to be until life on this planet ceases to exist. The clear benefits of adapting to renewable sources of energy are very promising and can continue on to impact the United States in a very positive manner from creating a better environment, stimulate the economy positively and never having to fear an expiration of these energy forms.

Most of what America uses for energy derives from fossil fuels, the fact is that although fossil fuels appear naturally, they take hundreds of years to replenish. We are depleting our fossil fuel supply both as a country and as a planet, and need to decide what our next course of action is. Right now our

Aside from fossil fuel 's long-term non-sustainability, the United States should shift to renewable resources because of the detrimental effects fossil fuels pose to the environment and people. The use of fossil fuels lead to an increase in air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, and even global warming. During fossil fuel combustion, pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides,

Energy, which has a bearing on both economic and national security, boasts its vital importance in that it gives rise to the economic and social development of the whole world. Although the world teems with diverse energy, most of the energy that has been put into application in our daily life or industrialized world is nonrenewable, with particular reference to the fossil fuels, which means once it has been run out, it can never be reproduced. Moreover, conditions are getting worse as the increasing energy consumption caused by the high pace of the development of industry and agriculture and the abuse of some energy, it seems that all nations to some extent have been stuck in the plight of energy

In addition, the use of fossil fuels raises serious environmental concerns. The burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year and natural processes can only absorb about half that amount. Because nature can’t absorb every bit of carbon dioxide being released there is a net increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This is dangerous because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases increase the temperature of the Earth by trapping heat inside our atmosphere. This keeps the temperature higher than if we were only being heated directly by the sun. Because the Earth is hotter this speeds up global warming, which will cause problems.

Growing up my dad would always say “switch off the lights, save power” and “do not waste things, other people need to use it” those statements instilled in me an indelible dislike for wastage of any kind and to be considerate of other people’s needs like just my dad. These doctrines helped also helped to forge my interest in recycling and environmental energy conservation especially now as the demand for energy resources is growing at an alarming rate. Chevron PLC stated in an article that the world population which is currently around 7 billion is projected to grow by an additional 1 billion in the next 12 years, especially in NOECD or developing countries as predicted by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), this growth would result in more demand for energy resources particularly global fossil fuel consumption, clean water supply, electricity as well as food, public health services and shelter.
