In our modern world of today, our energy consumption is up more than it was 50 or more years ago. We use energy for practically all aspects of our lives. We use energy from manufacturing to cooking, transportation, lighting, heating, cooling of our homes and work places. We also use it for entertainment and in some cases, for our entertainment. To ensure that our future generations will have energy to use as we have, it is important for us to conserve the energy that is at our disposal and or use renewable energy. By installing solar panels on our homes and businesses, we are able to use renewable energy and save our dollars and our energy resources. In addition to solar panels, there is also the use of wind power, hydroelectricity as well as biomass and bio-fuels. By using non-renewable energy, we are depleting the earths oil, coal and natural gases. Over time, as these energy resources become less available, the cost to consumers will increase.
In this paper I will discuss everyday energy resources we use, the impacts we have observed on both the environment and humans. Some new energy resources that are …show more content…

One may say that there may be too many people on earth or that there may be too many people in one geographic location that is causing the depletion of our non-renewable resources (Our Ecological Footprint & the Built Environment, 2015). With that said, the fact remains there are too many people using up the non-renewable resources and once these resources are used up, there is no getting them back to use again. The choices we make for ourselves and our families greatly affect the availability of the non-renewable and renewable resources. Some of the choices we could make are riding a bike to work or school, carpooling with colleagues and perhaps walking. If within in our means, we can also make the choice of using wind and or solar power to establish electricity in our homes and

Years past the industrial revolution, our climate is starting to show how we’ve affected it. From ocean levels rising and atmospheric temperature increasing, two articles cover and explain multiple forms of renewable energy sources that can help slow these problems that come along with climate change and global warming. Though the topics within these articles are similar, one explains the negatives, whereas the other expresses the possibilities. The article “Renewable Energy, Facts and Information” by Christina Nunez explains many types of renewable energy forms like Solar, Wind, and Hydro but also makes the reader aware of their environmental downsides. Whereas the article “Renewable Energy and Energy Reductions or Solar Geoengineering for

Historically there has been an inverse correlation between S&P 500 prices and crude oil, but in 2010 the economic recovery pushed the stock indexes up and the prices of crude oil, especially in the United States. In 2017, stock markets and oil prices have moved in unison, a rare coupling that highlights growing fears about the health of the global economy.

The Neolithic Era, in roughly 3000 BCE, marked the discovery of fire, and since then, the world around us has changed faster than any one person can grasp. We as a society, and as a species have adapted not just genetically, but industrially, causing us to grow in population and expectation exponentially. However, with industrialization comes a need for the energy that powers factories, automobiles, and the technology the average person deems necessary for daily life. The energy resources on which we depend now are neither efficient nor renewable, and therefore we are facing a critical problem that will rise within the next century. Depletion.

"From powering the giant factories that keep our economy bustling to simple keeping our homes warm, energy is involved with almost every activity of life. Because energy is such an important aspect of our society, we are always trying to find cheaper and more efficient uses of it. It is no wonder that oil, coal, and natural gases have become our current main sources of energy. However, our dependance on these energy sources has lead to far-reaching drawbacks that range from political to environmental disadvantages, but it has recently been discovered that converting the US to 100% renewable energy is possible. This change in energy source dependance would result in many advantageous effects, and we must do our part to make this happen.

As one of the most popular websites in the world, Google’s data centers are huge and spread all around the world, since the computers located in them are supposed to handle each of 3 billion searches that customers perform every day (Dumaine, 2012). In addition, Google provides other Internet services too, like Internet analytics, cloud computing, advertising technologies as well as Web app, browser and operating system development, which increases the number of data centers considering that they are the basis of all products and services (Rouse, 2014). As a result, the energy consumed in order to provide these different Internet services is enormous and it makes the whole Google’s server farms the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. On that account, with the big objective of mitigating as much as possible the greenhouse gas emissions, Google has made a lot of significant investments and has become one of the most sustainable businesses.
