The document discusses energy generation and usage in the United States. It states that in 2014, the US generated about 4,093 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, with fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum) accounting for about 67% of generation. Coal specifically accounted for 39% of electricity generation while natural gas was 27% and nuclear was 19%. The document then discusses various strategies and their potential contributions to meeting the projected increase in global energy demand to 30 terawatts by 2050.
The document discusses energy efficiency and renewable energy. It notes that while non-fossil energy use is growing, fossil fuels still provide 78% of total US energy in 2035. Examples of energy efficiency upgrades for homes are provided, like air sealing, insulation, and maintenance of heating and cooling systems. The conclusion emphasizes that addressing energy efficiency is an important first step.
The document discusses the need to transition to clean energy sources to address climate change. It outlines a 3-step process of cleaning up electricity generation, electrifying everything, and eliminating waste. Currently, fossil fuels provide 85% of global energy despite impressive growth in solar and wind, which combined only provide 1.5% of total energy. To limit global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius by 2050, 90% of the world's electricity must come from low-carbon sources. The document calls for action to transition away from fossil fuels and implement more sustainable energy solutions.

A Social Practices-based Microsimulation Model for Estimating Domestic Hot Wa...Ben Anderson
This document describes an IMPETUS microsimulation model developed to estimate domestic hot water demand in the UK. The model takes into account factors like weather, demographics, technology changes, and personal water usage behaviors. It aims to better address uncertainties around climate change, social practices, and responses to water and energy efficiency measures. Heating water accounts for over half of residential water usage in the UK and is the second largest energy use in homes. The model suggests that installing efficient showerheads can substantially reduce both water consumption and energy demand. Future work will assess the impacts of other water efficiency interventions and behavior changes on energy usage.
The document summarizes the health impacts of global warming and coal usage. It discusses how coal is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. It then outlines some of the negative health effects of global warming, including more frequent extreme weather events, worsening air quality, rising sea levels, droughts and flooding, as well as increased water and insect-borne diseases. The document concludes by advocating for transitioning to cleaner and renewable energy sources in order to address global warming and its public health impacts.

As per US Department of Energy, "solar power will deliver an estimated $400 billion of environmental and public health benefits by 2050”. And as per central assumption, the current health benefits from solar is more than $1.5 billion. So how the solar power is saving lives? Check the slides here to get a clear picture of this theory.
Governments and scientists are trying to develop alternative energy sources to replace fossil fuel power stations because burning fossil fuels damages the environment and fossil fuels are running out. The chart shows that at current consumption rates, coal will run out in around 150 years, oil in around 50 years, and gas in around 80 years. Renewable energy sources like hydroelectric, wind, solar, tidal, and biomass can generate energy without running out because they can be easily replenished. Currently, only 4% of the UK's energy comes from renewable sources.
Meeting the targets to keep warming below 2°c a new us pathwayLuca Soppelsa
The US "Clean Power Plan" is insufficient for a 2°C pathway.
We need:
- Holistic and stringent Federal policies to attain targets;
- Threefold approach where renewable electricity plays a key role;
- Policies need to promote new energy investments;
- Immediate action to minimize the costs;
At the UN Climate Summit in Paris, policy-makers, businesses and financiers together can make the change happen.
Wind and Solar Power Can Supply 80 Percent of Electricity Needs in the U.S.Charles_Pellham
One of the ways to combat climate change is to transition from fossil fuel energy to renewable energy quickly. Two of these renewable sources, solar and wind power, have enormous potential. According to a study published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, the U.S. can constantly meet around four-fifths of its energy demand with wind and solar power generation.

Massachusetts has made progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy but still relies heavily on natural gas. The state aims to reduce emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 according to its Global Warming Solutions Act. However, preventing new natural gas infrastructure and forcing utilities to invest more in large-scale renewable energy and energy efficiency will be critical next steps to fully decarbonizing the electric grid and meeting the state's long-term climate goals. Citizens also have a role to play by switching to clean energy and increasing energy efficiency in their homes.
The document discusses the results of a nationwide voter survey on energy issues in the United States. It finds that most Americans see the country's energy situation negatively, with nearly half believing the U.S. is on the verge of or already in an energy crisis. The survey also shows increasing importance placed on reducing foreign oil dependence and increasing energy efficient buildings.
The Scottish Government has set an ambitious target to generate half of the country's electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydro power by 2020. While Scotland has significant renewable energy potential, fully utilizing these resources would substantially impact the landscape and local communities. Developing renewable infrastructure requires weighing environmental and social considerations.
The document discusses the Asian Brown Cloud phenomenon, which refers to widespread layers of brownish haze that cover large parts of South Asia, East Asia, and other regions. It forms due to emissions from fossil fuels and biomass combustion which produce large amounts of aerosols and precursor gases. The cloud reduces sunlight by 10-15% while enhancing atmospheric heating by 50% and influences regional climate patterns. It also affects glacial melting, agriculture yields, and human health. Long-term concerns include drought from the retreat of Himalayan glaciers that supply major rivers in the region. Understanding the impacts of this phenomenon is important for addressing climate change in Asia.
- The document analyzes rainfall trends and correlations with sea surface temperature (SST) in eastern and western Kenya between 1979-2012.
- It finds that the Rift Valley and East Kenya have distinct seasonal rainfall cycles. Both regions show a slight decline in long rainy season rainfall and an increase in short rainy season rainfall.
- Rainfall anomalies correlated weakly with SST for long rainy seasons but strongly positively correlated with Indian Ocean SST for short rainy seasons in both regions.
Connecting Extreme Weather Events to Climate Change: Media Coverage of Heat ...Jill Hopke
This research tests the popular press assumption that media are not discussing climate change in coverage of extreme weather. Change over time in English-language media coverage of heat waves and wildfires is assessed, from 2013 to 2018, including 37 news outlets from five countries, as well as Agence France-Presse and Climatewire. Mentions of climate issues increased both types of extreme weather. Climatewire provided the highest degree of climate change issue attention. For Canada and the United States, climate change issue attention was higher than would be expected by chance in heat wave coverage, while it was roughly equal to what would be expected by chance for China, and lower for India and the United Kingdom. For wildfire coverage, issue attention to climate issues was higher than expected by chance for Canada, India, and the United Kingdom; lower for China and the United States. Elite, climate-specialist news outlets gave more attention to climate issues in both heat wave and wildfire reporting across the years studied. The 2013 to 2018 time period also saw an uptick in media coverage of heat waves, particularly in Chinese English-language media.
Three key problems that must be addressed in the next 20 years are peak oil, climate change, and energy inequity. The document outlines a vision and plan to transition to an "electron economy" powered by renewable energy sources like solar and wind. This would require massive investment but could create jobs and transform our energy, transportation, and building infrastructure to be more sustainable and less dependent on fossil fuels. The proposed approach involves a coordinated effort across many sectors to implement new technologies and systems at a large scale.
Usually, 40% or less of the energy ingested is
stored by growth. An invertebrate typically uses about a
a quarter of this 40% for growth; in other words, about 10%
of the food, an invertebrate eats is turned into its own body
and thus into potential food for its predators. Although the
the comparable figure varies from approximately 5% in carnivores
to nearly 20% for herbivores, 10% is a good average
value for the amount of organic matter that reaches the
next trophic level.
The document discusses the relationship between carbon dioxide levels, global temperature, and sea level rise based on data from the Vostok ice core. It notes that for every 1 part per million increase in CO2, sea levels rise by 1 meter and temperatures increase by 0.05 degrees Celsius globally. It also lists several climate change impacts that are accelerating, such as heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and sea ice loss. Finally, it proposes taking a systems approach to addressing climate change through renewable energy, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, carbon sequestration, and smart urban planning.
Energy use contributes significantly to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Kristin Sullivan from the Energy and Climate Alliance spoke about the relationship between energy consumption and global warming. In just a few sentences, she likely discussed how different types of energy production release greenhouse gases and the need to transition to cleaner sources of energy to mitigate climate change.
House Parties for Energy Efficiency: Outcomes of Community Organizing for Ene...Anna McCreery
The document discusses a community organizing program called Energy Impact Illinois that was implemented to promote energy efficiency upgrades. An initial mass marketing campaign had little impact, but hiring community organizers led to a significant increase in house parties, community meetings, and energy efficiency upgrades over time. A case study of Oak Park found that it had over double the average number of upgrades, house parties, and meetings, illustrating how tapping into existing community networks and organization can effectively promote energy efficiency goals.

Climate change is already causing measurable impacts like rising temperatures, sea level rise, and more extreme weather. If emissions continue unchecked, the impacts are projected to be much more severe, including potential food shortages, mass migrations, and ecosystem collapse. However, there is still time to take action to reduce emissions and avoid the worst consequences of a 4°C or more of warming.
This document provides an overview of energy, including definitions of key terms, units of measurement, historical and current patterns of energy use worldwide, projections for future energy use and the types of energy including fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear. It discusses trends in population, GDP, and carbon dioxide emissions and considers whether the global energy system can stay below 450 parts per million of atmospheric CO2.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
