Chapter 2: Perspectives

Fuel and energy are becoming an asset in our world. In the world, the most common energy source is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels form more than 86% of our total energy in the world. Fossil fuels are commonly used throughout the world. Oil, one of the fossil fuels, is used in producing gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel. Oil is also used in producing electricity. Coal, another fossil fuel, is used in producing electricity as well. In addition to producing electricity, coal is used in producing steel and making cement. Natural gas is used in cooling homes and cooking.

Gail Tverberg, a writer and actuary who is from USA, has stated that energy is very important for producing goods and services. She has said that energy …show more content…

Chevron, a multinational energy corporation has estimated that the human population which fuels energy demand to increase by 25 percent in the following 20 years. Some of the reasons why energy demand is increasing is because the energy sources are scarce and non-renewable. When the energy sources are low, the demand for energy increases, which leads to inflation, the sustainable rise of prices. The prices of energy are increasing up to 8 times the rate of job earnings. The household energy bills have increased by 4%. In USA, prices of electricity have risen. In the first half of 2014, the prices of electricity have risen by 3.2%. When the prices of the energy sources are too high, energy consumers would be unable to afford …show more content…

However, it requires hard work, dedication and will. For example, Chevron is showing their efforts by making global investments in renewable, alternative energy and energy efficiency to create alternative energy. In Singapore and with Toshiba, SMRT is working to install their Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) technology in SMRT 66 trains. This is to reduce 30 percent of energy consumption. In addition to PMSM technology, Singapore uses biomass energy, photovoltaics and waste-for-energy combustion.

I personally believe that creating multiple renewable energy sources, stabilizing the price increase and ensuring that the demand is reached will change the world and create a better future for all the living things. Plants will no longer suffer from acid rain or any other harmful gases. Animals will not lose their habitats. Humans will continue working in a more clean and green environment with health benefits.

The only problem that stands in the way for this solution is unity. A lot of countries are fighting for energy sources rather than finding ways to create more renewable and alternative energy

Believe it or not, the Constitution was not America 's first form of government. Our country started out with the Articles of Confederation, which were...shall we say... less than perfect. They gave the states much more power than the central government, due to a pervasive fear of strong central governments. This fear stemmed from the reign of the tyrannical King George III, and the founding fathers did not want to give their country the ability to establish another monarchy. In the Articles of Confederation, the central government had no power to tax, regulate trade or commerce, enforce laws, settle disputes between states.

If more companies built solar panels then the price of solar panels would go down making them more affordable. Once that happens, more houses would have solar power which would greatly cut down on the production of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Another way to be more Earth friendly is to use cars that are battery powered and not gas powered. This would again cut down on the gas being released into the air thus creating a cleaner environment. In every way possible, the idea of change and reformation will always affect our lives in positive or negative ways but it is inevitable and will catch up to us

It is fair to say that most would not want to live in a world without electricity, but if society cannot agree on an energy to use, this imaginary world could become a very real way of life. “Citizens and community members everywhere are seeking smart solutions to our biggest problem - the ecological collapse” (“Top 10 Pros and Cons” 1). The United States’ economy has been fueled by fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Then, the early 1900s introduced a new, versatile source, oil. Through the 1950s, most Americans viewed rapid economic growth and high consumer spending as positive trends but this prosperity was fouling air and water and damaging natural resources.

Federalism is a political notion where a group of individuals are joined together by contract with a leading spokesperson, to initiate a system of government in which independence is constitutionally divided between a dominant governing power and essential political components, such as states and localities. When involving federalism with federal policies, there is a struggle when determining how much control the federal government has over the states and how much both the federal and state governments have control over local administrations. In this particular essay I will demonstrate the Federal Energy Policy and how it raises issues of federalism, along with the pros and cons that surround the policy. The Federal Energy Policy is a policy that was determined by federal, state, and local units to tackle issues of energy production, energy distribution, and the utilization of energy.

For sheer audacity, nothing beats Kennedy's speech to “...land a man on the moon and bring him safely back to the earth.” He could have said, “We will make the biggest pizza pie the world has ever seen and have every American eat a slice with the Soviet Union watching on live TV,” but that wouldn't have fired up quite the same fires of passion and imagination, or unleashed the tremendous wave of innovation the moonshot did. Looking back, the amazing thing is not accomplishing the safe return a moon landing, but that the nation allowed President Kennedy to make such a commitment. Today a U.S. President must fight with everything he's got, to do much less ambitious things than a moon shot —gun laws and health care. When he gave the “We choose to go to The moon” speech Kennedy said this, “We choose to go to the Moon! ...

Are peoples’ opinions that you disagree with not allowed? This question has been heavily put to the test as football players have been swarmed with abhorrence. This anger has been brought to them through the protest that they have acted with, not standing or kneeling during the national anthem, in the past few years. Football players should be protected by the first amendment of the constitution, which is for free speech and protest. Football players should not be punished for their opinion and issue in which they protest in the United States because it brings awareness to society issues, use social status, and even though people disagree that the protest should not happen during the National Anthem.

Due to these issues, renewable resources should become our primary source of energy. First, there are many issues with the energies sources we use now, but one of the major ones is that nonrenewable resources cannot replenish fast enough to replace what is being consumed. Energies made from fossils are the most common types of nonrenewable resource. Specifically, the three main types of fossil fuels are coal, natural gas, and oil.

It is commonly known throughout human history that the energy used is burned from coal which creates biomass. During the Industrial Revolution, coal was an essential need to everyone, hence the discovery of oil as a substitute. Yet, the mass formation from the unearthing of oil causes more damage than benefits for the planet. Humanity had never seen a more compatible source in which came a higher demand for oil. As the public has urged to generate more oil, scientists theorized that fossil fuels will eventually run out, making way for a renewable energy route in the future (Mason).

Imagine a world where we have used up all of our nonrenewable resources and no longer have gas to power our cars, no coal to make energy, and no natural gas to power you household items. Well it might not be too hard to imagine, because it is predicted that in less than 75 years we will use up all of our natural gas, oil, and coal deposits. This is just one of many reasons that the government needs to put more funding into green energy. They not only need funding to find new sources of renewable energy but they also need to invest more in products that produce clean energy like solar panels, windmills, and turbines in dams. Climate change has been a center of attention for many years now, however it seems that very few changes have been made to slow or stop it.

Fossil fuels  Fossil fuels are NOT a renewable energy resource it will finish up one day As once we 've burned them all, there isn 't any more, and our consumption of fossil fuels has nearly doubled every 20 years since 1900. This is a particular problem for Oil, because we also use it to make plastics and many other products  Coal, Oil and Gas are called "fossil fuels" because they have been formed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals. 
