Global Examples of Renewable Energy and Their Futures in the United StatesKirk Williamson, MPH
This document summarizes global examples of renewable energy implementation with a focus on geothermal energy in Iceland and opportunities for the United States. Iceland has successfully harnessed geothermal energy, providing heat to 90% of homes and meeting 30% of electricity needs. Despite similar geological conditions, Hawaii has been less proactive in developing geothermal energy due to some cultural issues. The document argues Hawaii and other US regions could benefit economically and environmentally from increased geothermal energy development with proper research, support and engagement with indigenous communities.
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environments. Ecosystems consist of communities of organisms and their environments, where organisms depend on each other through food chains and for nutrients. Habitat destruction from activities like mining, deforestation, and pollution reduces biodiversity and can cause extinction by displacing or destroying species. Global warming from greenhouse gases is a major cause of habitat loss.

Role of renewables in energy mix in perspective of indian energy independence...IAEME Publication
This document provides an overview of renewable and non-renewable energy sources in India. It discusses that coal currently dominates India's energy production and consumption, but renewables are being promoted. The roles of various energy companies in India are described. Statistics on India's oil, coal, and natural gas reserves are presented, showing coal reserves could last over 100 years. While fossil fuels will meet demand for over a century, efforts are still needed to develop renewable alternatives to protect the environment for future generations.
The document discusses sustainable energy sources and their potential to meet future energy needs. It introduces various renewable energy options like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass. It then covers challenges like intermittency, converting energy to liquid fuels, and land use requirements. The document poses questions to prompt discussion of these topics and sustainable energy development strategies.
Renewable energy sources include energy from the sun, wind, water, and plant- and waste-based materials that reproduce themselves constantly. Non-renewable sources like coal and oil are being used faster than they can replenish and will eventually run out. While non-renewables like oil currently supply over 40% of the US's energy, renewable alternatives like hydropower, bioenergy, wind, solar and geothermal are growing in popularity and importance as cleaner, sustainable options.
Clean energy products save big dorothy hebrankhebrank001
The document discusses the environmental and financial benefits of using clean energy products in the United States. It states that if all US households used water-sense showerheads, it could save 250 billion gallons of water annually. If the same households replaced 5 light bulbs with Energy Star bulbs, it could save $8 billion in energy costs per year, equivalent to emissions from 10 billion cars. As of 2012, the EPA estimated clean energy products prevented 150 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, Hydroelectric Energy sources.
A sustainable energy system is required globally to avoid catastrophic environmental impacts from continued reliance on non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. Currently 88% of global energy comes from sources like oil, coal and gas, emitting large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This overdependence on fossil fuels is the main driver of climate change through global warming. A transition is needed to an energy system based on renewable sources like hydropower, biomass, solar and wind power in order to minimize global warming and avoid future environmental disasters. This will require quadrupling renewable energy production and reducing oil and coal usage by half and 90% respectively by 2030 with renewable sources making up 70% of global energy.
The document discusses the classification and fundamentals of energy. It defines energy as the ability to do work and classifies energy resources in several ways:
- By usability as primary, intermediate, or secondary resources depending on the degree of processing. Primary resources include coal, oil, sunlight, and are extracted from nature.
- By traditional use as conventional resources like fossil fuels, nuclear, and hydro that have been used for decades, or non-conventional renewable resources continually produced in nature like solar, wind, biomass.
- By long term availability as non-renewable resources like fossil fuels that will deplete over time, or renewable resources from perpetual natural flows that can be sustainably harnessed
This lesson plan discusses 10 sources of energy: solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, tidal, wave, hydroelectric, biomass, nuclear, and fossil fuels. The objectives are for students to justify their choice of most reliable energy source and explain the importance of conserving energy. Students will group according to their preferred energy source, debate the efficiency and convenience of different options, and research pros and cons of the 10 sources in an assignment. While each source has benefits, all have flaws, so a balanced approach using multiple sources is needed.
The document discusses the need for alternative energy sources due to the finite nature and environmental impact of fossil fuels. It notes that fossil fuels currently supply around 90% of the world's energy but have a limited lifespan of 40-50 years for oil. Burning fossil fuels also contributes to issues like global warming, acid rain and pollution. Alternative renewable sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric offer advantages as they are inexhaustible, clean and available worldwide at small scales. While nuclear power was once seen as an alternative, it produces dangerous radioactive waste and risks like Chernobyl undermine public confidence in it.

UW Microbiology Research Paper on Biofilm Formation in P. aeruginosaHuy Pham
This document summarizes research on the role of phenazines, specifically pyocyanin, as an electron transporter in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Studies show that pyocyanin can cycle between oxidized and reduced states, transferring electrons from NADH and allowing Pseudomonas to survive in low-oxygen environments. Research also found that pyocyanin production increased and intracellular NADH levels decreased under low oxygen conditions. Additional experiments demonstrated that pyocyanin overexpression led to more robust biofilm colonies, while pyocyanin knockout mutants generated less developed colonies. This indicates phenazines play a key role in Pseudomonas biofilm growth and survival through extracellular electron transfer.

1) The document discusses the controversy around early orthodontic treatment versus later treatment. While early treatment can prevent larger issues later on, it may also mean the child needs additional treatment in the future.
2) The impact of early treatment is that it is more effective at manipulating the jaw and skeletal structure while growth is still occurring. However, waiting risks longer treatment times or issues being noticed too late.
3) Resolutions to orthodontic issues include early phase treatments, making braces more appealing to encourage compliance, and interventions like palate expanders which can only be used early on. The outlook is brighter with early treatment as more can be adjusted during growth.

Introduction
Energy alternatives become a key aspect when environment conservation is a concern. Over time, the use of fossil energy has raised concerns in terms of environmental pollution in South Florida and the world at large. Gradually, there have been effects such as climate change, and global warming resulting from the interference of the atmosphere with the toxic substances emitted from the fossils during the process of energy production. Environmental pollution has been a topic of study for quite a long time. Therefore, more natural ways have been introduced to avoid environmental pollution. These are majorly the alternative sources of energy that are environment-friendly such as wind power, energy from solar, hydrogen gas, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, and natural gas use. The essay thesis statement holds that wind energy, geothermal energy, and hydroelectric energy are the three most desirable sources of energy to be introduced in South Florida.
Wind power
Florida should embrace wind power energy. Wind power or energy is generally the tapping and use of wind in order to generate energy and power through the use of turbines to provide energy for electric generators to produce electric energy (Musial & Ram, 2010). Over time, wind power has been studied and proved environment-friendly. Likewise, wind power is renewable and sustainable. Research says that South Florida harbors potential for the production of wind-based power though there are claims that Florida and other states in the southeastern experience lower winds as compared to other zones (Musial & Ram, 2010). However, research and study have found out that there is a possibility of windmills and turbine construction along some parts of South Florida coasts incorporating the most recent wind technology.
For quite a long time, South Florida has been using Biomass and Solar energy which are quite good. However, the state equally has the potential of exploring the production of wind energy. The winds experienced along Hutchinson Island coasts usually blow at 14 miles in an hour covering 80 meters hub height hence is sufficient to produce electric energy. This shows that South Florida can introduce the use of wind energy as an alternative source of energy. The college ...
This document discusses the history and development of alternative energy sources. It explains that alternative energy sources have historically provided energy but were replaced by fossil fuels during the Industrial Revolution. Issues like the 1973 oil embargo and concerns over pollution and climate change led to renewed interest in developing alternative energy. The document discusses various alternative and renewable energy sources that are currently used or being explored, such as hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal, and biofuels. It notes both the advantages of these sources as well as some challenges to their large-scale adoption and environmental impacts.
The document discusses various energy sources including fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas which were formed from ancient plants. It also discusses renewable sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal energy as well as nuclear energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable since they are being used faster than they can be replaced, while solar is considered an inexhaustible source since the sun will provide energy for billions of years. The document provides information on how different energy sources work and their advantages and disadvantages.
The document discusses growing global energy needs and various renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. It notes that approximately 80% of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. While these nonrenewable sources currently dominate energy production, they are finite and contribute to environmental issues. Renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro and nuclear power provide alternatives that are abundant and more sustainable. Harnessing renewable energy can help address energy security concerns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to renewable sources is necessary for a cleaner energy future.
Kentucky currently relies mainly on coal for energy, which pollutes and contributes to global warming. Geothermal energy is a cleaner alternative that involves using heat from within the Earth. It can be used to generate electricity without pollution and also heat homes directly. Switching from coal to geothermal energy in Kentucky would reduce pollution, allow coal to be sold elsewhere, and be a more sustainable option overall.
Energy is Ability to do work.
The energy can take a wide variety of forms - heat (thermal), light (radiant), mechanical, electrical, chemical, and nuclear energy. There are two types of energy - stored (potential) energy and working (kinetic) energy. For example, the food you eat contains chemical energy, and your body stores this energy until you release it when you work or play.
This unit plan abstract outlines a 4-day unit on alternative energy for a 6th grade general education class of 20 students from an urban, middle-class background. The plan aims to teach students about alternative energy sources that may power our homes, schools, and businesses in the future. A variety of technological tools like Wiki, YouTube, and Photoshop will be used to engage the students' low attention spans and teach the dense topic in a hands-on, visual way. On the final day, students will demonstrate what they've learned by creating a project on alternative energy.
The teacher will instruct a class of 20 sixth grade students about alternative forms of energy over the course of one week. The lesson plan incorporates visual and hands-on activities like viewing videos, completing online discussions and assignments, and working in groups on a WebQuest to help the students' low attention spans. By the end of the week, the teacher aims for 95% of students to accurately explain what alternative energy sources are and why they are important.
The document provides details about a lesson plan to teach first grade special education students about the months of the year and their order. The objectives are for students to recite and categorize the months by season with 98% accuracy within 2 weeks. Methods include singing a song daily, using a calendar to mark months, reading a book about seasons/months, and a computer presentation with notes. Materials will be prepared in advance and the environment arranged for engagement. Students will participate individually and in groups through the activities and their understanding will be evaluated during each activity.
Project-based learning is a teaching method where students investigate and respond to an engaging question or challenge over an extended period of time. It requires the use of both fundamental skills and 21st century skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and research. Example projects include having students build robots by assembling them and collaborating with classmates. As future educators, the authors believe project-based learning is important for pushing students to their full potential by developing important skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity.
This WebQuest aims to teach middle school students about alternative energy sources through hands-on modeling. Students will work in pairs to research different alternative energy types like wind, solar, geothermal and hydro power. They will watch videos to learn what each looks like and how it works. Each pair will then choose one energy source to build a model of using recyclables and robotics. The models will demonstrate how energy is generated. Students will present their models and be evaluated on participation, knowledge of the energy source, and the creativity of their model. The goal is for students to gain a better understanding of alternative energies and how they can replace fossil fuels.
Jordan Losh created a melting globe on an ice cream cone using Gimp to show the damage of fossil fuels to the planet. They first watched training videos to learn how to use Gimp's tools. They used the Lasso tool to crop images and changed the backgrounds to transparent, which required additional video tutorials. Jordan layered the globe on top of the ice cream cone and added centered, colored, bolded text to complete the image.
I was asked to create a lesson using the ASSURE Method for 1 of 3 different scenarios. I had to elaborate on each letter of the acronym as it was shown in examples during class.

Alternative Energy
The world’s supply of fossil fuels is rapidly running low, and America is seeking out
ways to turn that around with the use of Alternative energy. There are many types of Alternative
energy that could be used around the world. Alternative energy is not used as widespread as it
should be because of the high costs. As the future gets closer the clock is ticking on fossil fuels
and there availability. Alternative energy will power the world in the near future.
Researchers believe that the population will have to find another fuel source by the end of
the twenty-first century (Bowman, et al 2). Close to twenty million barrels of oil are used in the
United States alone in a day that is more than available to use (Bowman, et al 1). If people could
cut down on energy use America may not have to find Alternative sources for a long time
(Bowman, et al 4).With the large amounts of energy used daily scientists are up for trying any
new Alternative energy source they find. Time is quickly running out because researchers predict
that if the world continues using massive amounts of energy there is only close to one hundred
years of fossil fuels left (Witherbee 1).
The lack of availability of fossil fuels is not the only reason America is searching for
Alternative sources. Oil and fossil fuels create pollutants which makes them bad for the
environment (Witherbee 2). The burning of fossil fuels creates global warming. Global warming
is a slow process in which carbon dioxide and other gasses trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere
(Lee and Warthol 2). This could also be known as the “greenhouse effect” because it emits
2. Losh 2
greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. The use of coal releases more greenhouse gasses than
any other useful fossil fuel (Rich and Morley 2). Nearly 30,000 people die in the United States
from exposure to greenhouse gasses (Rich and Morley 2). Between the decreasing amounts of
fossil fuels, the harmfulness to the environment America is in need for Alternative energy.
There are seven types of useable Alternative energy sources (Witherbee 2). The most
common are wind, hydropower, geothermal power, and tidal power (Witherbee 1). However,
there are a few disadvantages to Alternative energy. Most alternatives are only available in
certain climates or land formations (Witherbee 1). Alternative energy is also known for being
very expensive. For example, keeping wind turbines in good shape and working is extremely
expensive (Bowman, et al 3). The major disadvantage is that there are many alternatives to fossil
fuels but none of them are efficient enough to replace them (Bowman, et al 2). The economy and
American lifestyle is built around the use of fossil fuels because it is the quickest and most
affordable way of getting energy, but Alternative energy must replace the use of fossil fuels
before it is too late (Bowman, et al 1).
Wind power is one of the most non-polluting forms of Alternative energy (Lee and
Warthol 1). The use of large turbines that resemble windmills is how wind power is created (Lee
and Watthol 1). A turbine is a machine that creates energy from a stream of steam, water, or
wind (Lee and Warthol 2). Wind turbines have to be placed in areas of consistent wind currents,
such as off shore saeways (Bowman, et al 3). A wind turbine works opposite of a fan. The
Turbine is hooked to a generator that makes power from wind spinning the blades (Alternative
Energy Sources 2). There are a few problems with wind energy. One of the major problems is
that it is only useful when the wind is blowing (Bowman, et al 3). Many people do not like the
way wind farms look (Bowman, et al 3). They think that it takes away the beauty from hill tops
3. Losh 3
and rural areas where most wind farms are located. Another problem with wind energy is many
birds and other animals have been killed by wind turbines. However, in the end, the
expensiveness of wind power prevents it to becoming a solution to America’s energy problems
(Bowman, et al 3).
Another clean alternative to fossil fuels is geothermal energy. Geothermal energy comes
from the Earth’s magma to power turbines (Bowman, et al 3). Geothermal energy uses steam
from the magma and creates small amounts of pollution (Bowman, et al 3). There are two ways
of producing this steam into power. The two most popular types of geothermal power plants are
steam plants, and binary plants (Alternative Energy Sources 2). Steam plants use resources found
in geysers, such as steam and hot water. The steam comes straight from the geysers and turns
turbines that connect to a generator to produces energy (Alternative Energy sources 2). Energy
produced in steam plants cost between four to six cents per kilowatt hour. The other type of
geothermal plants called binary plants use lower-temperature water resources. This water is
basically in conjunction with another liquid that brings it to a boiling point which creates steam
and does the same process as steam plants. After the steam is created the left over water is
returned to a reservoir, this is an endless cycle (Alternative Energy Sources 2). This way of
creating energy is about five to eight cents per kilowatt hour (Alternative Energy Sources 2).
The sky is a huge opening for alternatives to fossil fuels. The sun is a constant heater and
light to the plant, that could also help out with America’s energy needs. Most of the energy from
sunlight is not captured because it can be found anywhere (Rich and Morley 3). In sunlight you
can find photovoltaic cells that give scientists the capability to make energy (Rich and Morley 3).
In the summer the sun produces so much power; this is good because that is when the demand
for electricity is at its highest (Rich and Morley 3). When the sun is shining at its brightest the
4. Losh 4
World would have an excess of electricity to use, that is a good reason alone to look more into
solar energy. The equipment used in solar power is known for being extremely expensive. The
good news is that with new technology the equipment is getting cheaper and easier to use
(Witherbee 2).
