Essays On Energy

Nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy produce clean energy with minimal carbon emissions as they do not emit any greenhouse gases. Nuclear energy from fission emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to coal, natural gas, or oil, resulting in less harm to health and the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power does not directly release […]

Introduction Iran, a signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has faced international scrutiny for its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, Iran maintains that its nuclear program is exclusively dedicated to civilian and military objectives, including the advancement of nuclear energy. The creation of the Bushehr nuclear power plant is part of this civilian effort. […]

Naomi Klein minces no words in confronting the corporate structure that purports to be fighting for the conservation of the environment while it does the bare minimal in curbing pollution. These organizations, ‘Big Green Movements’ partner with the polluting companies and states in very questionable working relationships that do not work to reduce emissions in […]

Introduction Biomass can be described as an organic substance resulting from past living organisms or living organisms. It is mostly used as an energy source that entails plant-based constituents that are not edible in what is commonly referred to as lignocellulose biomassendnoteRef:1. As an energy source, one can use it directly or indirectly through combustion […]

Introduction The evolution of energy use runs back to the period when human beings learnt to make fire for cooking and manufacturing primitive implements. Many years later the principle of sail was discovered by Egyptians, where water was used as form of energy. Throughout history, ways of taking various sources of energy and using them […]

Introduction Alternative sources of energy refer to all those sources in which fossil fuel is not consumed. In addition to being friendly to the environment, these energy sources are readily available (Michaelides 7). Some of the alternative energy sources being used today include solar, wind, geothermal and energy. These sources help conserve the environment due […]

One major issue the world is grappling with is the occurrence of extreme climate fluctuations. These changes are compelling individuals to relocate from areas where preventing such alterations is not possible. It highlights the limitations humans face in controlling these fluctuations, as seen in Greenland, situated in the North Atlantic region. The situation in Greenland […]

Introduction Unlike non-renewable sources of energy, renewable sources of energy are the type o energy which is obtained from resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, for example, wind, waves, sunlight, tides and geothermal heat (Michaelides, 2012). Most of the renewable energy is obtained directly or indirectly from the sun. The sun’s heat […]
