As the world grows more concerned with the effects of global warming, the need to find alternative energy sources has gained a sense of urgency. For many decades the world has known that we were depleting our natural resources and causing environmental damage. As attempts are made to meet the ever...
Energy conservation is an issue that I am glad to be learning more about and proud to be able to partake in. I believe that if we do not find an alternative way to use energy soon, that we will run out of the nonrenewable energy sources that we presently have on earth...
Nuclear energy is the energy source released by a nuclear reaction, which is cause by fission or fusion. To prove that nuclear energy is the best type of energy source for the future, one must show how this is possible. One must tell where this energy source comes from, and what advantages and disadvantages...
