2013 Alternative Energy Source: Solar Energy Scientist, researchers, politicians, and economists are interested in creating and establishing an alternative to fossil fuels. There are many ways and processes being created to be alternative energy sources. Since fossil fuel will soon run out, we need to know what other options we have to survive and take care of ourselves. We cannot limit ourselves. One alternative energy source would be solar powered energy. Every alternative energy source has it’s

endless need for the earth’s natural resources of energy. The continuation of humans depleting such natural resources that cannot be reproduced or restored has raised a call for action, due to the belief that one day the world will be depleted of all such resources along with a strong reflection of the extreme amount of damage that using the natural resources has caused on the environment. The controversial debate on how to continue to meet the energy needs in the United States is still standing. Some

Warming and Alternative Energy People are inflicting major damage to the Earth's environment, and if we don't do anything to stop the destruction soon, the results could be devastating. Most people know about global warming and think it may be a serious problem in the future. What most people don't understand is that global warming is happening now, and we are already feeling some of its destructive power. Because of the dangerous effects of global warming, alternative energy sources need to be

United States has been reliant on non-renewable fossil fuels to provide energy to the millions of people and places all over the country. As technology is increasing and opening many doors continually, the opportunity to begin using alternative renewable energy is becoming more apparent. With the amount of business and politics attached to the fossil fuels as well as the country’s reliance, changing to alternative energy sources would be a difficult task, but not an impossible one.

Alternative Energy Carbon dioxide that is released each day will stay in the earth’s atmosphere for the next 100 years. Alternative Energy is a kind of replacement energy that does not emit carbon dioxide. This energy is developed primarily to stop the increasing of warmth on earth, which is also the main cause for “Global warming effect”. Alternative energy sources are renewable and also “ free” energy sources. Those energy sources include Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, Biomass

Alternate energy sources can improve the state of the earth and atmosphere if we were to but it into play in every home; you also never need a refill, of oil, gas, propane. And you never need to pay bills for electricity. The need for these alternate energy sources is that we are killing the earth with the use of fossil fuel. Using alternate energy sources can lead to the end of the burning of these harmful pockets of ancient sunlight. The problem with these alternate energy sources is the initial

August 26, 2012 Kevin Dunn Oil Drilling has its pros and cons, and some people are for it and some people are against it. It has come down to the issue of people wanting to have new power sources for the country, rather than to keep drilling. More or less these people want to have alternative sources of energy to help save on the planet, to be more “green.” Oil Drilling isn’t as bad as some people make it out to be.

We necessitate it to power our cars, phones, lights, and basically everything. Not to mention that everything we own in our house is made in a factory, and the factories use energy. For fifty years we have depended on nuclear power as our main source of energy. However, this energy source is not safe, it isn't clean, it doesn't make sense with terms of
