At the moment, sadly, fossil fuel energy (electricity from coal, oil and gas-burning power stations) is far more effective and economic since the environmental impact is completely neglected. As well, fossil fuels are subsidized (tax cuts) much more than alternative energy.
This is because there is as yet no charge on the colossal amount of carbon emissions and other pollution (nitrous gases, carbon monoxide) that are produced at every stage of the fossil fuel production right up to its final burning. When governments can agree on a correct price that carbon emitters have to pay, then the true price of electricity (much higher than it is now) will encourage governments and private citizens to do what they can to generate solar photo-voltaic and wind energy.
Companies have set up solar farms using various ways of harnessing the sun's energy and converting it into electricity. There are many farms in place all over the world.
Private citizens may find it worth while to:
# Use solar hot water in their homes (fairly efficient technology). About 80% of the water heating can be derived from solar without getting into complicated systems.
# Install PV solar panels to generate some electricity to reduce their demand on the common grid supply. 100% can be generated, but costs may make it prohibitive. PV panels last 40+ years, with about 1% production loss every year. Warranties are typically 20 years.
# Install solar air heating to heat their homes during the winter (supplementary heating to existing heating). Large wind energy is generally cheaper than solar, but requires more maintenance (high winds can damage them).
The Nationalist Socialist Party (NAZI's) was effective enough to become the head of the German government.
somebody from our geography class asked this !!
All planets receive light energy to a greater or lesser extent.
The pursuit of alternative energy should not be the number one priority, but it should be very urgent. The most important thing in the world is to promote love and denounce injustice, which may relate to the energy industry.
No, not really, I guess they can be to an extent tho; it all depends.
Uranium must be used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors, to produce electricity and heat. Nuclear energy is the most serious alternative to fossil fuels. But, attention: also uranium is a not a renewable resource ! Problems with nuclear energy are possible pollution and disposal of radioactive wastes; but these questions are now to the greatest extent solved.
Mechanical energy can be easily converted to other types of energy. Thermal energy is, to a great extent, wasted energy - it can no longer be converted to other types of energy.
what kind of energy system that sailing use
You can get energy from Carbohydrates, Fat and to a lesser extent protein.
The publicly controlled economy which is the nearest to a mixed economic system is a socialist economy. The public will influence such an economy to a great extent.
A pump can be used to a certain extent, but due to the compressibility of gases they are not very effective.
Up to some extent the relationship between Europe and Islam is good.
