wind and solar power. Renewables can be recovered and used again while non-renewables don't have the ability to be used again or more than once. Coal is a non-renewable but a great type of fossil fuel because it’s a reliable source of electricity which is necessary for steelmaking. It is the most plentiful fuel of all the fossil fuels. Coal has been used for thousands of years archaeologists discovered that coal was used even in the second and third centuries by the Romans. Solar power is a renewable
natural gases, and 1.09 pounds of coal (“How much coal, natural gas, or petroleum is used to generate a kilowatt-hour 1 of electricity?”). Despite the availability of alternative energy sources, most people prefer these “dirty” energy sources. Solar power shows promise as a potential alternative.
The Indian solar PV market has seen significant growth with the installed solar PV capacity, rising from 40 MW to more than 3,000 MW in the last four years. It is also expected that the distributed generation (rooftop Solar PV) at the consumer end will drive solar power capacity additions given the acute power shortages in several states. Role of various stakeholders responsible for implementation of rooftop solar PV projects in India is shown below- During the first phase of the JNNSM from 2010

Cindy has not only to look for the growth prospects of solar energy equipment which will make use of solar energy to harness and convert it into other types of energy which can be used for daily chores work. Being a student of economics, I would like to give him few ideas and some broad perspectives which Cindy should be taken care of before investing such a huge amount at
Space Exploration has been a dream for mankind for many lifetimes, but now in our lifetime, for many people, it has become more than just a dream, but rather, a reality; there is no doubt that space exploration has now shown to be beneficial to human kind thanks to the advanced technology, abundance of untapped resources, and nearly unlimited scientific knowledge available to us today and forever growing at an exponential rate. To help humanity in both direct and indirect ways, technology has
Off the power grid, off the grocery store grid, off the car grid. There are people in what is known as the slow food movement who have chosen to grow or raise all their own food and barter using whatever abundances they have with their neighbors for anything they
This goals’ objective is that everyone will have access to energy, and that the energy will be affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern. This is a very hefty goal to achieve, only made harder by the goal’s five targets. Targets are supposed to be measureable indicators of whether or not the goal can be achieved. I believe that targets 7.1 and 7.2 are not truly measureable until certain aspects of the target have been defined. Target 7.1 aims to ensure universal access to affordable energy. The
be from solar energy to wind energy, there is a multitude of sources that allow us to do the things we do each and every day. Throughout the world however, coal and nuclear power have risen to the challenge and provided us with most of our energy needs. To this day, nearly 40% of all electric generation comes from coal with it providing the United States with 21% of all its energy needs as well (Siegel, 2012). On the other hand, 20% of the entire electric generation comes from nuclear power (Hsu, 2013)
A PESTEL analysis is used to analyze the effect of external factors on the firm. According to our text, a firm’s external environment consists of a broad range of political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, ecological, and legal factors (PESTEL) that have an impact on firm performance and market industry. Thus, by analyzing the external factors, we can “mitigate threats and leverage opportunities” (Rothaermel 67). Below is a PESTEL analysis of Cryptocurrency, a digital cash system used in
