Wind Energy And Nonrenewable Energy

Nonrenewable energy is energy that once used can not be replenished and used again. When burning fossil fuels this has proven to be bad for the environment. The resource coal is

Today we rely on a majority of fossil fuels with a small percentage of solar or wind energy generation to power our comfortable living. With fossil fuels being our primary source of energy, we are releasing things such as lead into the atmosphere to be inhaled; coal has to be mined causing deforestation and additionally causes water contamination from mining water runoff, the same to be said with fracking.

Fossil fuels run the world. 78% of the world uses fossil fuels to generate their country's electricity. Only 22% of the world electricity use solar and wind, which are renewable energy sources. Many people today use fossil fuels which include natural gas, oil ,and petroleum.Fossil fuels are very bad for the environment because they cause air pollution and greenhouse gasses to be released. Air pollution and greenhouse gasses can be reduced if cities and suburbs transition to renewable energy.

Fossil fuels are starting to be a problem and are slowly killing the Earth. We have other sources which we can use to solve our problems. “Wind and sunshine are clean, emitting neither the pollutants that cause smog nor the carbon dioxide that contributes to climate change”(Ball n.p.). Renewable energy should replace fossil fuels, because they are cleaner, they have been already working, and they are helping Africa.

The sun, the wind, and running water are all examples of renewable sources, but fossil fuels come from plants and animals that were alive hundreds of millions of years ago, so they are non-renewable(Source 1).Since fossil fuels are non-renewable they will eventually disappear and will not be an available source of energy. With the need for reliable sources of energy growing, many people are ignoring that fossil fuels will disappear, unlike alternative sources. People are ignoring the consequences that fossil fuels have and the availability of renewable sources of energy, such as alternative

Everyone knows that fossil fuels are bad in at least some regard. Some believe that burning fossil fuels are destroying the ozone layer. Which is causing an increase of temperature called Global Warming. This raising of heat can melt the glaciers at the poles. Glaciers melting can cause a huge problem known as flooding. It was predicted that if fossil fuels continue to be used Florida will become a state underwater.

Fossil fuels can be replaced by Alternative energy sources ( Natural energy). If we do not switch to Natural energy sources, our atmosphere can be harmed with the use of fossil fuels.Using natural energy is money saving, not harmful to our environment and atmosphere, and will provide power for a

Fossil fuels are always used in the world and have been in the earth for millions of years, similar to how a tradition stays in a culture. Even though Fossil fuels are like traditions they are very harming by causing pollution to the environment. Fossil fuels also hurt animals and can destroy their environment. The burning of fossil fuels can endanger us by damaging our lungs every time we inhale. Fossil fuels have endangered the environment. They make life easier for us and it is statistically proven that 90% of our technological energy is powered by fossil fuels. They help powering cars, heating homes, and cook our food. These examples are just a few but there are a lot more of problems with these daily used resources.

One of the primary issues with fossil fuels is their negative impact on the planet and our environment. Greenhouse gasses cause a long string of reactions that lead to our planet slowly heating

It is important to develop alternatives to fossil fuels because the earth’s reserves of these energy resources are in great decline. The usage of fossil fuel also causes an increase in the number of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Because of the increase number of carbon dioxide, it’s causing the ocean water to become acidic endangering marine life. Also the smog created from burning fossil will result like the video we watched about china. In addition, in order to have sustainable agriculture, the use of fossil fuel needs to be decreased thus lowering the amount of pollution in the soil.

“Environmentalists have long argued that renewable energy sources . . . are preferable to fossil fuels,” says H. Sterling Burnett ([1-2]). Environmentalists have long promoted alternative energy sources, especially wind energy. Debra A. Miller says “wind is the most promising alternative source of energy” (56). One author wrote “development of 10% of the wind potential in the 10 windiest U.S. states would provide more than enough energy to displace emissions from the nation’s coal-fired power plants and eliminate the nation’s major source of acid rain” (Kaleen 71). Understanding how the wind is turned into electricity will assist in our comprehending why environmentalists place such value in wind energy. How Is Electricity Generated gives a detailed description of how the wind is converted into electricity. The first step entails the wind turning the blades and generating energy. The second step consists of the spinning blades turning along with the blades. The spinning blades are attached to a hub, and a low-speed shaft that is connected to a gear box that connects to a high-speed shaft. The third step consists of attaching the high-speed shaft connected to an electrical generator to convert the mechanical energy into electricity ([1]). James Taylor says that once electricity has been produced, it is then transmitted to population centers via expensive transmission lines ([2]). With all these supports in favor of using wind energy, environmentalists fail to recognize the

Energy consumption is a major environmental issue in both the United States and globally. Society is consuming more energy than can be produced, and the energy that is being consumed is harming the environment. The most common and widely used energy sources are nonrenewable fossil fuels. Fossil fuels consist of coal, oil, and natural gas; they are nonrenewable, in this life time, they do have a chance to renew, however, it takes millions of years for fossil fuels to form beneath the Earth's surface

The world currently relies heavily on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. These fuels are non-renewable; because they are extracted from finite resources that will eventually drop, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In comparison, the renewable energy resources like wind and solar energy are constantly replenished and will never run out.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy that were form billions of years ago. The three different types of fossil fuels in the world include: oil, coal and natural gas. Although each of the three types of fossil fuels are extracted differently they are all processed and used as the world’s primary sources of energy. Being the world’s primary sources of energy, fossil fuel experience advantages as well as disadvantages as an energy source. The use of fossil fuels, as an energy source, impact the environment as well as social, economic and political aspects of the world.

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas created from the decade of dead plants and animals. Fossil fuels are formed through the natural process. So they are considered as un-renewable resources because the formation of fossil fuels may take millions of years and the feasible reserves are being run-down much faster than new ones are being made. The use of fossil fuel was started in the industrial revolution with the invention of the steam engine. All fired power stations like nuclear, coal, gas and oil are still working on the same principle of the steam engine. Still, fossil fuels are controlling to change the structure of our global economy. After the invention of the steam engine by James Watt (1769) brought widely increased the energy efficiency. After this invention, the use of fossil fuels is increased rapidly. This helps to give a
