Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

While, apparently, almost everyone in the world admits that the environment should be treated more responsibly, not many people act accordingly. As the story with EU carbon tax shows, not only does it apply to individuals, but also to the whole countries – even (or first of all) the most influential ones in the world. EU carbon tax for airlines, if signed, would oblige airline, whose flights cross EU airspace, to pay a tax on carbon emissions proportionally to the volumes of emissions – that is what European airlines do. The world immediately forgot about its environment-wise consciousness and objected the law. ...

Greenhouse gases are those gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. Several chemical compounds in the earth’s atmosphere are greenhouse gases. They allow sunlight to pass through them into the surface of the earth. This light is reflected form the surface back towards the space in the form of infrared radiations or heat. The greenhouse gases absorb these radiations and trap the heat in the atmosphere. After some time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the surface becomes equal to the energy radiated back into the atmosphere. This process leaves the temperature of the surface ...
