Why solar
Solar power has several benefits: it helps slow global warming and save society trillions in costs associated with climate change. Individuals can save on energy bills by using solar power. The sun is a reliable source of energy that won't increase its prices like traditional energy companies. While solar may not provide all of one's energy needs, it can increase independence from traditional energy suppliers. There are many advantages to solar power and now is the time to take advantage of solar thermal energy.

2015orientation lecture
The document discusses the energy gap facing the UK if new power stations are not built to meet increasing electricity demand. It explains that no single fuel can provide a complete solution, so an energy mix of different sources is needed to compensate for each other's limitations. Key topics covered include energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear power, and EDF Energy's approach to addressing the energy gap through new nuclear and a diverse energy mix.
Research paper
The document discusses the need to transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources sooner rather than later. It notes that worldwide dependence on oil and other fossil fuels is not sustainable as reserves will be depleted within the next 150 years. While some argue there is still time before transition is urgently needed, the document argues alternative energy sources need to be developed and implemented more widely now to avoid catastrophic consequences from continued fossil fuel dependence and climate change. Research on new technologies is underway but governments and industry must take stronger action through policies that incentivize alternative energy adoption. A large-scale transition will be challenging but is critical to ensure future energy and economic security.
Energy resource plan
This document outlines reasons to conserve energy and discusses renewable and non-renewable energy sources. It begins by focusing on crude oil as the main non-renewable energy source and reasons to conserve it, such as reducing foreign oil imports and addressing environmental issues like global warming. It then discusses renewable sources like wind, solar, biofuels and hydropower as alternatives. Specific conservation methods are suggested, and the document calls for more government support of renewable energy research and infrastructure to transition away from gasoline dependence.

De leon petroleum reduction coalition letter 2.5.15
The letter expresses opposition to SB 350, which mandates a 50% reduction in petroleum use by 2030. It argues that such an arbitrary mandate will detract from more important discussions on strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will impose unacceptable costs on families and businesses. The letter urges abandoning the legislation in favor of examining programs that can achieve emission goals without increasing energy costs.
Recommendation Report
This document provides a recommendation to switch to a renewable electric energy provider. It discusses the problems with fossil fuel dependency, including the limited reserves and environmental impacts.

This presentation will address Enbridge’s strategies in the short and medium-term to continue to provide customers with affordable energy and lower GHG emissions.
substitution of gasoline
The document discusses the relationship between speed, time, and gasoline consumption for driving. It provides data from three scenarios where the speed was varied from 50 mph to 72 mph and found that higher speeds resulted in lower mileage and higher gasoline usage. Alternatives to gasoline are explored like diesel, CNG, and electricity due to gasoline's high price, non-renewable nature, and environmental impact. While demand for energy will remain high, factors like rising gasoline prices, availability of substitutes, and government policies suggest gasoline likely has a declining future role.
The Economic Case for Divesting from Fossil Fuels
The fossil fuels industry, big oil, big coal, natural gas, and its allied sectors, including some large financial institutions, will not quietly or willingly retire into the history of ideas whose time has passed. That fossil fuels represent the single greatest systemic risk to our collective economic wellbeing, however obvious to increasing numbers of fiduciaries, is not a consideration for the industry’s plutocrats. A divestiture campaign to get money out of fossil fuels stocks has emerged, indicating an emerging popular awareness that we must and will transform our energy society into one that can coexist with and even thrive on a finite earth. That a massive global transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energies, led by solar, also means that there are and will continue to be competitive investment returns earned from carefully selected investment exposure to the sector.
Crafting Canada's Clean Economy
In this webinar, Clean Energy Canada and our guest panelists, Clare Demerse, Federal Policy Advisor with Clean Energy Canada, Tyler Hamilton, award winning journalist and Canadian author, and Ben Thibault, director of the Pembina Institute's electricity program, will discuss new research on Canadian clean energy spending and deployment, and discuss what these findings mean for renewable energy developers, clean tech innovators and policy makers across the country.

Energy powers many aspects of modern life like transportation, cooking, heating, lighting, and machines. Most energy comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global warming. To reduce energy usage and carbon emissions, people should use less energy by turning off lights and devices when not in use. Developing renewable energy sources from wind, solar, and water can also help address these issues.
Regional and Community Methodologies | Simon Gerrard
The document discusses methodologies for counting carbon emissions at the regional and community level. It outlines different approaches to carbon counting, including who does the counting and how results are owned. It also describes 10 consumer groups and their characteristics relevant to carbon emissions. The document advocates for an active engagement approach where communities are involved in auditing their emissions, setting pledges and goals, and ongoing evaluation to drive further changes. To date, the described approach has involved over 126,000 pledges estimated to reduce emissions by 67,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year.

It performs a cause and effect analysis and identifies two main engineering contradictions: "corruption" and "lack of education". For each contradiction, it lists improving and worsening parameters and suggests potential inventive principles that could help resolve or minimize the contradictions, such as dynamization, taking out, and composite materials. The overall goal is to reduce terrorism by addressing its underlying root causes.
Becoming a Fossil Fuel Free Family
This document summarizes the author's family's efforts to transition to becoming fully fossil fuel free over a three-year period from 2013 to 2015. Some key points:
- They started with petrol dominating their energy use at 61% and have made changes like installing solar PV, buying an electric vehicle, and removing gas appliances to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
- Their goals were to first achieve carbon neutrality, and then to become 100% fossil fuel free (FFF) by stopping the purchase of electricity, gas, and petrol.
- Through actions like adding more solar PV capacity, buying an EV, and replacing gas appliances with electric options, they were able to reduce their net carbon footprint to near zero

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere. This leads to climate change, or long-term shifts in weather patterns including increased temperatures and more extreme storms. The main cause is excessive carbon dioxide from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. If left unaddressed, global warming will have serious economic and environmental consequences, including rising sea levels, stronger hurricanes, species extinction, and disruption of ecosystems and food supplies. Individual actions like driving efficient vehicles and using energy-saving light bulbs can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight global warming.
Group4 day1 presentation
A report from Ecosultants discusses the effects of a series of natural disasters that make most oil impossible to extract and distribute globally. This leads to exponentially rising oil prices, famines worldwide, and wars over remaining resources. However, people are forced to transition to renewable energy sources instead. By 2025, health issues related to the environment decrease as households become more self-sufficient and economies shift focus to technology, education, and electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources rather than oil.

The document discusses global warming, climate change, and the greenhouse effect. It defines each term and explains that they are related because they affect both humans and the environment. The primary cause of global warming is carbon dioxide emissions and the expansion of the greenhouse effect. Possible consequences include more extreme weather, economic impacts, and threats to animals and plants. The document provides suggestions for fighting global warming such as using renewable energy and energy efficient appliances. It also discusses arguments against the idea that human activity is causing global warming. In conclusion, the author believes global warming is a serious issue but that humans should not receive all the blame, and that there are steps people can take to help reduce its impacts.
Resources and Human Impacts on Earth Systems
This document summarizes renewable and nonrenewable resources and human impacts on the environment. Renewable resources like solar and wind energy can be naturally replenished, while nonrenewables like oil and coal take millions of years to form and will eventually run out. Humans negatively impact the environment through deforestation, pollution, and destruction of coral reefs. These actions can harm health, disrupt ecosystems, and damage the environment. Both renewable and nonrenewable resources are necessary but must be managed sustainably to avoid long-term consequences and leave a healthy world for future generations.

Chapter 14
This chapter discusses overcoming public speaking apprehension through effective delivery techniques. It covers the causes and symptoms of speech anxiety, including anticipation, confrontation, and adaptation reactions. It then provides strategies for managing apprehension such as visualization, systematic desensitization, and cognitive restructuring. The chapter recommends using a conversational delivery style and effective vocal techniques like pitch, volume, and pauses. It also discusses the importance of facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and rehearsal.
Hydro electric energy
Hydroelectric energy is produced by harnessing the gravitational force of falling or flowing water to turn turbines that generate electricity. It is produced in 150 countries, with China being the largest producer and accounting for around 17% of its domestic electricity. The pros of hydroelectricity include being renewable, low-cost, flexible, clean without CO2 emissions, reliable, and controllable; the cons include requiring large dams that can damage environments and marine life. Hydroelectric plants work by creating reservoirs through dams, channeling water through tunnels to turn turbines and generate electricity.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy harnesses steam reservoirs trapped in hot rocks below the Earth's surface. It has a very small environmental impact and is a reliable and cheap source of energy. Geothermal plants convert steam from reservoirs into electricity through dry steam or binary cycle plants. While it has a small land footprint and is virtually limitless, geothermal energy has high initial costs to drill wells and uses water. The largest geothermal site in the US is The Geysers in California.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy harnesses steam trapped in underground reservoirs to generate electricity with minimal environmental impact compared to other energy sources. It works by tapping into reservoirs of steam trapped in hot rocks deep underground, which can then power steam turbines or be used in binary plants that use the steam to boil a secondary fluid to drive the turbines. While the initial costs are high and drilling is difficult, geothermal energy has a small land footprint, is virtually limitless, simple, and reliable once operational. Prime locations for geothermal energy in the U.S. include The Geysers reservoir in California.
