Today we primarily use fossil fuels to heat and power our homes and fuel our cars. It’s convenient to use coal, oil, and natural gas for meeting our energy needs, but we have a limited supply of these fuels on the Earth. We’re using them much more rapidly than they are being created. Eventually, they will run out.

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.
Green energy materials for transportation and smart city applications.pptxResmaVijay
Green energy is any energy type that is generated from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind or water. It often comes from renewable energy sources although there are some differences between renewable and green energy.
The key with these energy resources are that they don’t harm the environment through factors such as releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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

1. RENEWABLE ENERGY
Together with the rapid growth of the world population, the limited ability to supply of
non-renewable leads to energy demand on a rise especially in developing countries. This
situationresults in the risk of depletion of cheap fossilenergy and environmental pollution
as well as climate change. Therefore, researchers around the world have been constantly
trying to find solutions to diversify energy sources and reduce harmful emissions and
greenhouse emissions into the environment and renewable energy sources have taken
the spotlight. Thus, what is the renewable energy? We can say that it is natural energy
that can be used again and again and will never run out. There are four major types of
renewable energy: solar, hydro, wind and geothermal energy.
The use of renewable energy has many potential benefits, including human beings and
environment. Firstly, renewable is one of the most important advantages of renewable
energy. Essence of renewable energy sources is derivation from natural processes so the
energy is sustainable and never runs out. Truly, renewable energy is really important and
necessary to human beings when fossil fuels are more and more exhausted. With the
never-ending supply of renewables, we would feel secure when having abundant supply
of energy to last our planet, our human race and our economies, for generations and
ever. Besides, one of the greatest alternative energy benefits is that it is so much better
for environment than the use of fossil fuels that contribute heavily to issues such as acid
rain, smog and global warming. On the contrary, renewable energy has little or no waste
products such as carbon dioxide or other chemical pollutants. Renewable energy systems
produce much lower carbon dioxide emissions as opposed to carbon-intensive fossilfuels
such as oil, coal and natural gas while they are being used only a small amount of fuel
2. during the manufacturing of equipment. With renewable energies, energy is usually
converted from one form to another without the creation of pollutants. Similarly, wind
power energy relies on moving air and converts it into electricity without polluting the
environment. Therefore, it is obvious that the non-pollution or minimal impacts on
environment are the positive advantages of renewable energy. Finally, renewable energy
not only is regarded as an unlimited resource but also plays an important role to regional
development. Renewable energy and energy efficiency can help revitalize rural
communities. For example, farmers on windy lands can lease space to wind developers,
earning thousands of dollars for each turbine every year.
Although the advantages of using renewable energy are obvious, we must also consider
some limiting sides from the energy. The biggest disadvantage of renewable energy is
that the cost of the energy is relatively higher than non-renewable energy. The initialcosts
of renewable energy still make many people ignore it completely when comparing it with
fossil fuel. For example, installation of solar energy water heater costs many times in
comparison with a heater. Another disadvantage is relying too much on weather
conditions and geographic locations to create energy. Each type of renewable sources is
justbetter suited to some places. This means that you cannot use each of these renewable
sources in all locations. For example, we cannot generate hydro-electric power without
having a fast-flowing water source, such as a river or waterfall. In addition, the energy
also brings some inconvenient problems. Take solar energy water heater as an example,
it is inefficient because in summer ambient temperatures are high and the use of hot
water is not needed; however, in the winter we could not have hot water due to low light
of the sun.
From allwhat was saidabove, it is clear that renewable energy plays a role more important
with every passing day to both human beings and environment. Renewable energy is
becoming an important solution to the world’s energy need. Besides, renewable energy
also brings many positive impacts to protecting environment, diminishing effects of
global warming or pollutions. Despite some drawbacks of the energy, there are also
reasons to believe the problems will be solved soon thanks to strong investment of
3. government and efforts’ scientists. The exploiting and converting from traditional sources
into renewable energy resources is a favorable turning-point to us. The future is indeed
bright and will be lit by alternative energy.
