Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass including farm and animal waste is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environmental pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.
Natural resources that can be replaced and reused by nature are termed renewable. Natural resources that cannot be replaced are termed nonrenewable.
Renewable resources are replaced through natural processes at a rate that is equal to or greater than the rate at which they are used, and depletion is usually not a worry.
Nonrenewable resources are exhaustible and are extracted faster than the rate at which they formed. E.g. Fossil Fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).

Abstract
Purpose – The aim of the paper is to examine the renewable energy resources for enhancing a green
energy development in the face of energy crisis and climate change, and to explore the prospects for
“new” renewable energy sources and the green energy initiatives taken in the Pacific Island countries
(PICs).
Design/methodology/approach – The data were collated from a wide variety of sources including
policy documents, road maps, reports, research articles on renewable and green energy sources.
The methodology adopted was primarily a qualitative one based on a “content analysis”.
Findings – The findings reveal that increasing emphases have been given recently to “new”
renewable and green energy sources in the Pacific Island countries as mitigation and adaptation
strategies to fuel crisis and climate change. PICs have taken a wide range of green energy initiatives
including “biomass”, solar, wind and other non-traditional renewable energy sources and bio-fuels
development. Prospects for coconut, copra and palm-oil based bio-fuels do exist in many PICs.
Opportunities for ethanol bio-fuels also exist especially in Fiji.
Practical implications – Renewable and green energy sources are of practical implications to PICs.
There is, however, a greater need for framing sound energy policies by the PICs.
Originality/value – The author has brought out clear linkages between climate change and green
energy development and analyzed the importance of new renewable energy sources, especially in PICs.
The paper has higher policy relevance and it is of great value in the context of sustainable energy
development in PICs.

Lecture Notes
Energy
It is important to understand the different types of energy sources. Sources of energy can be primary, secondary, renewable, and non-renewable.
Primary Energy Sources
Primary energy sources exist in nature and can be used directly or may be converted and redirected into a form of energy that satisfies a need. When primary energy sources go through the energy conversion process, they are converted into more convenient forms of energy, such as electrical energy, hydrogen, and cleaner fuels. Primary sources of energy include both renewable and non-renewable sources, such as coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower, biomass, geothermal power, solar power, and wind power.
Secondary Energy Sources
Secondary energy sources can be obtained from the conversion of other, less convenient and beneficial sources of energy. Secondary energy sources include those that are made available for use in a home.
Secondary energy sources:
· Electricity
· Heating oil and gasoline
· Hydrogen
These energy sources are used to power, heat, and cool a house, as well as to cook. Liquid fuels, such as gasoline, methanol, and other hybrids that are used for transportation are also considered secondary energy sources.Electricity
People are fortunate to enjoy the benefits of electricity. Electricity can be generated from coal, natural gas, solar, geothermal.

The urgency to reconsider our energy origins and utilization behaviors has never been more acute. Our existing dependence on traditional fuels has led to the depletion of natural reserves, contamination of air and water, and an impending environmental crisis. Nevertheless, there is optimism on the horizon as inventive resolutions and a collective worldwide endeavor to shift toward sustainable energy sources are picking up momentum.
The Power of Clean and Renewable Energy (shakarzallic).pdfinsideranking0
The Importance of Clean and Renewable Energy
Clean energy and renewable energy are two intertwined concepts with significant implications for our planet. Clean energy refers to sources that produce minimal pollution, while renewable energy is derived from resources that are naturally replenished. Both are vital components in mitigating the harmful effects of fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and combating climate change.
Is solar energy the answer and solution to combat Climate Change.pptxIftikar2
Energy consumption is exponentially increasing over the past few years making it a challenge for many countries to meet the demand. According to the IEA, energy consumption in India has increased by 475.81% from 1990 and touched 1349.29 TWh in 2019. That is almost a 500% increase in the past 30 years.
The cause for this increase is due to the social and economic growth where energy consumption increases across different home, office and industrial applications like cooking, lighting, mobility, communication, and space comfort.
With the increase in demand and usage, there are challenges that have been brought upon the environment including rising sea levels, warming oceans, rising global temperature, carbon emissions & other harmful fume emissions.
Some of these changes have an immediate effect and are already evident. For example, glaciers have started melting, winter duration has reduced, weather patterns have changed, etc. Global warming has also resulted in the reduction of various species and even in some cases has caused extinction. This is a clear indication to bring in the change in order to sustain and survive in the future.
Some of the effects of energy production on the environment:
Air Pollution - One of the major pollutants produced by energy production is nitrogen dioxide which is emitted during the combustion of fossil fuels in the power plants and contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter. Scientific studies have even linked NO2 emissions from these power plants with negative health impacts like asthma & other respiratory illness.

Why Renewable Energy Sources is Important?kristahiles111
Non-renewable energy sources like coal, oil or natural gas are extensively used to satisfy population need, but it is getting depleted day by day. It is better choice to switch on towards renewable energy resources in order to protect our planet Earth.
Energy is property of objects which can be converted into different forms or can be transferred to other objects but cannot be created or destroyed. Green energy is the energy that is produced in such way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment. It is a renewable source of energy. Sources of green energy such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydro energy are developed and promoted as alternative source that make little or no contribution to climate change. In this paper the author seeks to explore how green energy is useful for future expects of the world. And current application of emerging technology, like generating electricity for various purposes, heating and cooling of water and more.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
