686 Search Results for Changes in Renewable Energy
renewable energy development from the 1970s to present. Historical changes in energy misuses (i.e. pollution) and consumption (oil reserves) have resulted in increased concern regarding the search and use for alternate and/or renewable energy worldw Continue Reading...
renewable energy resources and investment has grown exponentially over the last decade. While availability of renewable technology, its ease of use and possibilities for application have increased the costs of such technologies have decreased, to a Continue Reading...
However, dependence on one single form of renewable energy will not be practical as all geographical regions within the United Kingdom have their own geographical features and all energy uses have their own specific requirements. For this reason, a Continue Reading...
Part of the problem is governmental intransigence. For the past eight years in particular, energy policy has been driven by the oil companies (Environmental News Service, 2008), resulting in clean energy having been sidelined. Another reason is that Continue Reading...

There is another, more pressing reason for getting rid of our dependence on fossil fuels. It is not a newly recognized threat; in fact, it has been recognized and warned about almost as long as oil has been the dominant source of energy in the worl Continue Reading...
Thus, the sole remaining major precursor to success is economic utility, which is a function of the cost of second generation biofuel production compared with the production costs of alternatives.
Gasoline is the main competitor of concern, given t Continue Reading...
Notwithstanding these disadvantages, some regions of the European Union, though, are particularly well suited to the installation of wind farms. For example, a 5-megawatt wind farm featuring 10 wind turbines with 500 kW capacity each, has already b Continue Reading...

Energy and Its Sources
Energy is an important element in daily life since it used for many activities like moving vehicles, promoting growth of the human body, and enabling humans to think. However, energy can be found in various forms like sound, h Continue Reading...
It is clear that if we as a species are to survive the 21st century and beyond, we must concentrate on changing our approach to the environment by reducing our carbon "footprint" and exploring the idea of renewable energy sources that will be approp Continue Reading...
Energy is an essential force powering society, industry and in the end our everyday lives. Generally, energy sources can be classified as non-renewable and renewable sources. Non-renewable energy sources are those that can not be replenished or made Continue Reading...
Energy Policy and the Global Economy
Without question, climate change is having a profound impact on the global economy. Evidence is mounting within increasing intensity to suggest that the patterns of climate and weather are shifting and that these Continue Reading...
Tidal energy could be another option, which has limited access. This means that energy plans should include a combination of all alternative types of energy that can be used in a certain region.
