It is dangerous and even lethal to humans but provides a clean energy source. Most electricity in Ireland is produced by the ESB at coal-fired power stations like Moneypoint, though renewable wind power is growing as an environmentally-friendly alternative energy generation method.
CBM Energy Study
According the Department of Energy’s 2010 Buildings Energy Data Book, the average commercial building in the United States consumes $.70 of electricity per square foot in lighting costs annually. Meanwhile, 13 percent of commercial buildings in the United States are between 25,000 and 50,000 square feet. So by the math, for a typical 35,000- square foot building, lighting costs would be $24,500 annually. This annual lighting cost is for the average building, however in other applications, energy consumption for lighting is far higher.
Are there any real solutions???

Solar Energy
- 1. SOLAR ENERGY BY: Lieanne,Ingrid and Christina
- 2. Solar energy Is radiant light and heat from the sun
- 3. How does solar energy work?? Sun produces radiant energy by using hydrogen in nuclear fusion reaction, solar energy transmits to earth in parts of energy called photons which interacts with earths atmosphere and surface. http://www.apexfilms.ca/total_solar_energy_rejected.gif
- 4. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy! Advantages Disadvantages Environmentally friendly Cheaper than electrical heating Only need sun ray renewable energy source Solar power is very expensive If there is no sun you cant have solar energy because its from the sun Takes up a lot of space
- 5. Contacts Solar-Heat Company Ph(403)934-3700 Email:info@thesolarheatcompany .ca Our display: at Ry-dan Strathmore glass 2 bayside place Strathmore, Alberta Boyd Solar Corp. 2313-16th Street, P.O. Box 1942 Didsbury, Alberta T0M 0W0 403-335-3330
- 6. Would you lobby this? Yes or no We would give this a 5 out of 10 because solar energy is environmentally friendly and doesn't pollute. But its also would not lobby this because If there is no sun, then you don’t have heat and at night there is no sun so You have no heat unless you have electrical heating too. Also in places where people don’t get much sun you can’t use solar panels. We think that solar energy is good and everything but we would not lobby this!
