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.
This site has the UCR (Uniformed Crime Report ) displayed for years 1960-2005 for the US and seperate states, and is put in a form that is easy for the average american to understand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
