climate globalwarming governments industrialization nations

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached
  • Industrialised nations are responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions - both today and historically. In the past, economic progress was linked directly to carbon dioxide emissions (via the burning of oil, coal and gas to generate energy). Renewable energy sources change this, but only a small number of nations have begun to implement them in earnest.
  • Two billion people – one third of the world's population – have no access to electricity for basic needs such as lighting or cooking. Getting people the clean and reliable energy necessary for essential needs such as clean water, health care facilities, heating and lighting is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity today.
  • Industrialised nations have the capital, resources and expertise to jump-start their renewable energy industries. Obviously, countries with advanced space programs, established higher educational systems and abundant cash for investment are better positioned to implement these new energy technologies then countries still struggling with basic energy needs.

globalwarming hydroelectric power

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached
  • Wave powerThe World Energy Council estimates that wave power could produce two terawatts of energy each year. This is twice the world's current electricity production, and is equivalent to the energy produced by 2,000 large oil, gas, coal and nuclear power stations. The total renewable energy within the world's oceans, if it could all be harnessed, would satisfy the present world demand for energy more than 5,000 times over.

    According to the wind energy works for America a new law was proposed that would make generating new wind energy a crime and eventually phase out currently opperating wind energy plants.

    This website gives tips on how to conserve energy. Ex. turing theromostate down, turn off lights, unplug appliances not being used. close shades, and buy more energy efficent appliances.

  • Solar Energy is already being harnessed in many part of the world and it has the potential to provide several times the current world energy consumption if properly exploited.
  • Globally, the sun provides 10000 times the energy humanity uses

    This discusses why solar energy film will be very useful in the comming years. This film is more efficent. Also new testing are being done to put solar film on roofs.

The nuclear fallacy | Greenpeace International - 0 views

globalwarming nuclear power

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached
  • Nuclear power remains dangerous, polluting, expensive and non-renewable. More nuclear power means more nuclear weapons proliferation, more nuclear-armed states, more potential "dirty bombs" and more targets for terrorists. It also means less resources invested in real solutions to growing energy demands.
  • If we would replace all fossil fuels with nuclear power, the world would run out of uranium in less than four years.
  • Currently, nuclear is a marginal energy source, supplying only two percent of the world energy demand, and there is no realistic scenario in which this could be significantly increased.
  • bmoran on 28 May 07
     
    Although nuclear power seems to be an option, this article claims that, with our current technology and resources, it is a non-renewable option that will promote, rather than solve, problems concerning global warming, nuclear arms proliferation, etc.

    The earth's core is very hot!  If we can tap into this renewable source of energy, we will be able to satisfy a large chunk of our energy needs while simultaneously cutting down emissions and pollution dramatically.

    I think this is very exciting. Wind generators that can be used at a household scale for those already plugged into the grid could revolutionize energy production. It will be interesting to see if these wind generators become prevalent across the nation, or if they are blocked by the Not In My Backyard effect and other challenges. It would be nice to see these wind generators at a smaller, more manageable scale.

    This is another idea I have never heard of. It seems that using the geothermal energy stored by mine water to heat and cool buildings could be a viable energy source. However, is it safe? And couldn't it be considered a non-renewable resource?

    This is something I have never heard of! In some ways it seems very futuristic and sci-fi. However, if this could be implemented without major reconstruction of infrastructure and consumption goods, it could be a very exciting source of energy. I'm curious to find out more about this topic.

    I wonder if fusion as an energy source does not make the news as often as other alternative fuel because it is harder to grasp by the general public. Scientists seem to think that it is a safe, sustainable, powerful fuel source. However, I would like to research more into this process. I would also like to find out how similar this process is to that used in the nuclear power plants that are in use today.

    I think passive solar power is one of the most powerful, and yet most simple and subtle, energy sources we have available. It's neat to see a multi-disciplinary firm working toward a focused, yet multi-faceted, goal. As a landscape architecture major, this is a field that I could see myself pursuing.
