Energy crisis
Energy crisis has been a recurring problem due to increasing demand and limited fossil fuel reserves. The 1973 and 1979 oil crises showed the world's dependence on oil from unstable regions. While renewable sources like solar and wind show promise, they currently only provide a small fraction of energy needs. Nuclear power provides temporary relief but uranium reserves will last less than 15 years if used widely. Coal reserves will last 100-215 years at current consumption rates but is also limited and dirty. No single replacement exists and transition will be difficult, requiring a mix of solutions and reduced consumption through efficiency. Public understanding of the science and anticipated challenges is crucial to navigating this global issue.

Summary Presentation for The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to ...Earth Policy Institute
The energy transition is here. As fossil fuel resources shrink, as air pollution worsens, and as concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, oil, and natural gas, a new world energy economy is emerging. The old economy, fueled largely by coal and oil, is being replaced with one powered by solar and wind energy.Pr1esentation For E C Hem[1]
The document describes the major sources of energy used throughout history, including wood, coal, petroleum, hydroelectric power, and more recent renewable sources. It provides details on the history, advantages, and weaknesses of each energy source. Wood was one of the earliest energy sources but is slower than others. Coal was widely used in the late Middle Ages and through the 1950s in the US. Petroleum replaced coal and is now the leading energy source in the US, though reliance on imports is a weakness. Hydroelectric power harnesses energy from water currents and is renewable but requires large water sources. More recent renewable sources include solar, wind, ethanol, and hydrogen power but have not replaced fossil fuels as the primary sources of energy
Realizing truths on energy crisis tp
The document discusses various power plant options for generating electricity, including coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, and alternative energy sources. It provides pros and cons of each option. Coal and oil power plants are low cost but produce more greenhouse gas emissions and have environmental impacts from mining and disposal of waste. Natural gas produces less emissions than coal or oil but reserves are limited. Nuclear energy has low fuel costs but high capital costs, safety and waste disposal concerns. Alternative energy sources like solar, wind and hydro are renewable but have limitations in scale of production. An optimal solution needs to consider costs, environmental impacts, sustainability and safety.
Green
This document discusses green vehicles and their advantages over traditional vehicles. It defines green vehicles as those that cause no pollution or harm to the environment, such as electric cars, bikes, and planes. Green vehicles are classified as hydrogen powered, nuclear powered, or electric. While hydrogen vehicles release liquid waste and producing hydrogen causes CO2 emissions, electric vehicles produce no pollution during driving but rely on pollution during energy production. Nuclear powered vehicles produce no pollution but radioactive waste. As a result, the document concludes that electric vehicles are widely considered the most green option.
Renewable Energy: Maintech, not Cleantech
Ren is a short 1-sentence document. It simply states a name without providing any additional context or details about the person named Ren.
Proposal Essay
The document proposes reducing dependence on fossil fuels by increasing use of nuclear power, renewable energy, and more efficient transportation and buildings. It suggests using nuclear power for electricity generation, ships, and potentially trains. Renewable energy like solar, wind, and biomass can offset fossil fuel usage for power and transportation. More efficient cars, use of biofuels and electric vehicles also reduce fossil fuel demand. Improving building energy generation and usage through solar, wind, and better insulation contributes. However, plastics remain challenging as they heavily rely on natural gas. Overall, a variety of solutions can significantly lower but may not fully eliminate fossil fuel dependence.

This document discusses how political campaigns can utilize social media engagement. It addresses three target audiences that campaigns should focus on: the base, the media, and voters. The base are a campaign's supporters who can help engage others online and get out the vote. Nurturing the base through strong messaging and personal contact grows support. The media can help set the agenda if a campaign feeds them positive and negative information about opponents. Voters are reached indirectly through advertisements and directly through conversations online. While social media alone does not win elections, it is a useful tool to support campaign efforts when used to engage these three target audiences.
Ch 24 Overview States
This document provides an overview of state governments in the United States. It discusses state constitutions, which follow the same principles as the federal constitution, but some have become very long due to amendments proposed by special interests. State legislatures are typically bicameral like Congress and write state laws. Governors serve as the executive and have powers like appointing judges, writing budgets, and pardoning criminals. State court systems have various levels like juvenile courts, appellate courts, and a supreme court that handle both criminal cases involving violations of public law and civil cases between private parties.

Swine
Swine have skin similar to humans, making them useful for medical research to simulate human reactions. They can become aggressive if threatened or with young, and use their sensitive noses and teeth as their main defenses. Farmers identify individual pigs through notches in their ears indicating litter and pig numbers to manage the piglets.
Jeff Borden: Education 3.0: Learn Better
In this presentation given at the Social Media for Teaching and Learning event in Boston this fall, Jeff Borden of Pearson explains that as technology informs educational processes for delivery, assessment, content creation, and more, the evolution of that technology is transforming teaching and learning. But, as we shift from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, education must filter through the glitz and "shiny objects" to best understand what actually works and what does not. This presentation will draw on educational best practices from past to present (and even look to the future). From Bloom to Kolb to Johnson and Johnson, rote memorization to authentic assessment, learning theory to practical application, the World Wide Web has tools that not only help educators promote sound pedagogy, but advance it.

Climate Change: Are We Losing the Carbon-Free Energy Market to China
A description of trends in clean energy market and how can U.S regain its leadership. In 1995, the US had 43% of the solar manufacturing market compared to China at 1%. Now the US market share has declined to 6%, as compared to China’s 60%. China dominates wind turbines with 40% of the market share with the US at 14%. Fear of nuclear energy is hurting our environment.
sources of energy.
The document discusses various sources of energy, including renewable and non-renewable sources. It provides details on different types of non-renewable resources like coal, natural gas, and nuclear power.

Every other October since 1987, solar-powered cars have raced from Darwin to Adelaide, Australia, in the World Solar Challenge, an 2,900 km (1,800 mi) route that puts the latest alternative-energy technology to the test. The cars can run only on sunlight that their solar cells capture and convert to electricity. Electric motors that are at least 90% efficient are necessary. Racing teams are usually comprised of college students, and teams are backed by major aerospace and high-tech corporations. The eleventh race, held in 2011, was won by a Japanese team; a Netherlands team finished second, and the fast- est U.S. team, from the University of Michigan, finished third. Drivers had to avoid a bushfire, wallabies, cattle, sheep, lizards, and strong winds.1 Top speeds ranged from 143–154 km/hr (89–95 mph), and the average speed of the winning car was about 70 mph.
Suppose you decided to organize a team from your university, design and build a solar-powered car, and enter the race. Here’s the challenge: The roof of an automobile is just barely large enough to hold a solar panel that can gather enough energy to drive a car. It can’t power a regular sedan or SUV, and it can just barely power any car at all. How would you win? Should you build a car that, under the race rules, has the largest solar-powered area and tries to gather as much sunlight as possible, making the car as heavy as you can? Or would you opt for energy efficiency and build the lightest car, trading off a larger energy in- put for greater energy efficiency? Would you spend money and add weight to make the car’s shape as aerodynamic as possible, so that it would have the least resistance from the wind? And how about reliability? Would you build a stronger, therefore heavier car, or would you place your bet on the sleekest, lightest, car?
The car built by the Netherlands Nuon team, the Luna 6, had three wheels, a body made of carbon fiber, and solar panels covering nearly every inch of its top surface. The students who designed it tested a model in a wind tunnel
14.1 Outlook for energy
Energy Today and Tomorrow
The decisions we make today will affect energy use for generations. Should we choose complex, centralized en- ergy production methods, or simpler and widely dispersed
by covering it with oil; the oil activated an ultraviolet light used to highlight any impediments to its aerodynamic de- sign. The Luna 6 was 140 kg (308 lb), 20 kg (44 lb) lighter than the Luna 5 designed two years before.
The Tokai Challenger 2, also a three-wheeler, featured carbon monocoque construction on its top surface that incorporated a 6-m square array of silicon solar cells.
The Netherlands team lost out to the Tokai Challeng- er 2 largely because of the gains the Japanese team made on Day 3 of the four-and-a-half-day race, wrote British Diederik Kinds in The Register.2 He analyzed the ra ...
Planning for Energy
The document discusses energy issues in the United States and strategies to address them. It notes that the US heavily relies on non-renewable fossil fuels that cause pollution and climate change. Various energy sources like coal, oil and gas are examined in terms of their environmental impacts. The goals of securing energy supply, improving efficiency and reducing pollution are outlined. Actions at the federal, state and individual level to transition to cleaner energy and more sustainable practices are also reviewed.
VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
Renewable energy is generally electricity supplied from sources, such as wind power, solar power,
geothermal energy, hydro power and various forms of biomass. The popularity of renewable energy
has experienced a significant upsurge in recent times due to the exhaustion of conventional power
generation methods and increasing realization of its adverse effects on the environment. Wind energy
has been harnessed for centuries but it has only emerged as a major part of our energy solution quite
recently and this report focus on utilizing wind energy by using vertical axis wind turbine.

Lecture 5
Continuing Fossil Fuels & Renewable Resources
May 4, 2016
Oil
Like coal, most of the oil on Earth was formed millions of years ago
Certain warm shallow seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Tethys Sea were so ideal for life that organic material was formed faster than it could decompose
Large masses of organic material became buried at the sea bottom, were heated and pressurized, forming oil.
The present day distribution of oil lines up with these ancient shallow seas
Majority of oil reserves are in Middle Eastern countries
In elemental composition, oil is similar to coal
Mostly carbon, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur
As a liquid, oil can be distilled (separated) into other fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel
Oil Extraction
As a liquid, oil can be pumped directly out of the ground. This eliminates the need for mining.
A long drill is used to bore deep into the Earth to reach the deposit.
The hole is lined with a steel pipe and cement.
The top is outfitted with a collection of pipes and valves
The ease of transporting oil has enabled drilling at very remote locations
At its peak, Alaska accounted for about 25% of the U.S. oil production
It is transported to the southern ports of the state through the Alaska Oil Pipeline.
As a liquid, oil can also escape more easily, forming an oil spill
Oil spills are devastating to marine life
Penetrates through the fur and feathers of animals, reducing their ability to fly, float, and insulate themselves
Benthic organisms, living at the bottom of the sea, can be suffocated
Entire populations of krill and plankton can be wiped out
Oil Reserves
Of the fossil fuels, oil has been the most quickly depleted
Peak oil is defined as the point at which all known oil reserves have been tapped and production will begin declining in the following years.
The U.S. reached its peak production in the 1970s
The estimated date of worldwide peak oil is unknown
OPEC
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is comprised of 13 countries.
Members: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
In 2010, OPEC holds about 77% of the entire world’s crude oil reserves.
The U.S. has only about 2% of the world’s proven oil reserves. China has 1.1% and India has 0.4%. Japan as none
It will be necessary to find alternatives to or other sources of crude oil to sustain the today’s usage.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is actually a mixtures of gases
50-90% methane
Smaller amounts of propane and butane
As a gas, it is the most difficult fossil fuel to transport
A supply of natural gas exists above most oil wells, however, if no pipelines are nearby, it will often simply be burned off.
Natural gas has a relatively small amount of pollution produced by burning it (Only two waste products-CO2 & Water vapor)

Comstock's Thorium MSR opinion piece
- The document argues that California's policies exclude nuclear energy which could provide emission-free energy 24/7 without the environmental impacts of renewable energy sources.
- It advocates for investing in molten salt reactors which are inherently safer, more efficient, and produce less waste than traditional pressurized water reactors. Molten salt reactors could meet California's emissions reductions targets at lower costs while supporting economic growth.
- Thorium, which is abundant and produces less waste than uranium, could power molten salt reactors to provide unlimited, cheap, clean energy for California and beyond if the state invested in developing the technology.
The Future of Alternate Energy in India: The World War-III Begins
Mankind has already seen two World Wars. The Nations which emerged victorious in the last one are today the so-called Developed Nations and others are forced to have a 'subordinate' tag and they are called the Third World.
But now it's time for the next one and this is not a Tennis tournment to have seedings to save the Mighty Neck of the First World. No head-starts.
No Offence to Late PM Rajiv Gandhi of India when he said " Information Technology will be the base for the Third Word War". But we, a group of NLUO-ites believe that the fight is for the dominance in Alternate Energy and those who lag behind, will be behind others forever.

Getting to Net Zero - for Everything
1. The document discusses the urgency of addressing climate change and outlines five key points, including that the climate crisis is real and solutions exist in renewable energy and positive storytelling.
2. It emphasizes changing the narrative around climate change from one of fear to one of hope and determination, and achieving 100% renewable energy as quickly as possible.
3. The challenges of transitioning to 100% renewable energy across electricity, transportation, buildings and other sectors are discussed as mostly achievable with the right policies and leadership.
Electricity Access Essay
The document discusses electricity access challenges in developing nations, particularly in rural and remote areas with scattered populations and little economic activity. Extending electric grids to these areas is often the most feasible solution but is limited by high costs. Hybrid energy systems using renewable sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric power will play a key role in meeting future electricity demand in a sustainable way. However, power from intermittent renewable sources requires energy storage systems to balance energy generation with load demand.

Egypt endured for over 3,000 years as a recognizable ancient culture. There is no single agreed upon date for the end of ancient Egyptian civilization. Some potential end dates include the flight of King Nectanebo II in 342 BC when native Egyptian rule ended, Egypt's absorption into the Roman Empire in 30 BC, or the last use of hieroglyphic script around 400 AD. Egypt experienced a long period of decline from the late New Kingdom period involving economic and military issues. It fell under successive foreign rules including Nubian, Assyrian, Persian, Ptolemaic, and Roman domination before becoming a Christian country and ultimately coming under Muslim Arab rule in 640 AD, marking the end of ancient Egyptian culture and languageR2 a2b-russian history year 5, class 2, 2012 - 2013 gorbachev

The document discusses Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union in the 1980s which aimed to reform and open up the communist system. It led to increased transparency and freedom of speech. Gorbachev withdrew Soviet troops from Eastern Europe and weakened the power of the Communist Party, ultimately leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. There was an attempted coup by KGB and military hardliners to remove Gorbachev from power and stop reforms, but it failed within days. Gorbachev transformed the world by ending the Cold War and dismantling the Soviet communist system, though Russia faced economic hardship in the process.Egypt 2012 2013 decline of egypt class one
