Renewable Energy Solutions to Solve the World Energy Crisis - 0 views

  •  
    Fossil fuels have been used for a very long time as a means of generating much of the energy needs of the globe. From cars to electricity and plastics, these fossil fuels have been burned and transformed into heat energy and a million other products. Today, however, the oil reserves are drying up and a world energy crisis is beginning to take shape. With renewable energy solutions, however, this can be averted.

    I do not feel that we, as a country, have really taken these occurrences in seriously. Meaning that everyone has not experienced what it is like to have restrictions on power usage here in America as in other countries. We seem to have the idea that we have enough in reserves to avert any crisis. The majority of the people think that it is the governments problem to take care of, but, if we the people do not put enough pressure on them to make changes, they will never do anything about it. However, the current administration are showing signs of interest by investing in renewable energy and requiring auto manufacturers to increase fuel efficiencies in their manufacturing processes in building new automobiles. This is a start but, we have a long way to go.

    at One Part we are increasingly using fossil fuels in Cars, Electricity & all. And at other part we are in move to vanish our greenery, Our forests, our wild life for Road, Dams, Industries etc. There will not be any solution before any prevention off this

    Renewable energy has huge potential to provide solutions to increase the energy crisis and it is the key factor to the future of energy, food, and economic security. Solar energy technology provides superior energy for cooking, lighting, and many other purposes. That's why I addressed the sunrun customer service https://sunrun.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html, found out solar plans and ordered solar panels. It would be great if this technology was more popular and more widely used.

Walney Extension: The largest offshore windfarm in the world - 1 views

  •  
    Offshore wind could be described as the younger sibling of onshore wind, with the first offshore windfarm being completed off the coast of Denmark 1991. In countries such as the US, offshore wind is almost non-existent at the moment , but offshore wind is particularly strong in the UK and Europe, with 1.9GW being installed on the continent in the first half of 2019.

Vietnam moves towards solar power through feed-in-tariffs - 1 views

  •  
    Vietnam has witnessed a huge rush in solar PV projects development as the validity of attractive feed-in-tariff (FIT) rates ended on 30 June 2019. According to the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) as of 30 June, a total of 82 solar power plants with a cumulative capacity of 4.46GW had been connected to the national grid.

What does the future hold for hydropower energy? - 1 views

  •  
    What does the future hold for the world's largest renewable energy source, hydropower? Hydropower is an incredibly old source of energy, tracing its usage back to the watermills that have been a staple of civilisations since ancient times. Today, it is the largest source of renewable energy in the world, with an installed capacity of over 1126GW in 2018. Hydropower is particularly prominent in China, where the world's largest power station Three Gorges power plant in Hubei province produces 22.5GW. Other massive projects also dot the country, including the Xilodu (12.3GW) and Longtan (6.3GW) dams.

Dams be damned: is hydropower holding countries back? - 1 views

  •  
    A 2000 report by the World Commission on Dams showed a huge fall in popularity, leading some to declare the era of the dam was over. Almost two decades on and they are enjoying something of a renaissance. Andrew Tunnicliffe speaks with Professor Benjamin Sovacool about the impact dams have on the socioeconomics of a country and why corruption is often rife.

Why has wave power lagged behind other renewable energy sources? - 1 views

  •  
    With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.
