Nuclear Power
Controversy Over Nuclear Power as a Renewable Energy Source In 1983, physicist Bernard Cohen proposed that uranium is effectively inexhaustible, and could therefore be considered a renewable source of energy. He claimed that fast breeder reactors, fueled by uranium extracted from seawater, could supply energy at least as long as the sun’s expected remaining lifespan of five billion years. Nuclear energy has also been referred to as “renewable” by the politicians George W. Bush, Charlie… Read more about Nuclear Power →
Green Energy Trends
Trends With Renewable Energy The renewable market will boom when cost efficiency attains parity with other competing energy sources. The following trends are a few examples by which the renewables market is being helped to attain critical mass so that it becomes competitive enough vs fossil fuels: Other than market forces, renewable industry often needs government sponsorship to help generate enough momentum in the market. Many countries and states have implemented incentives — like government… Read more about Green Energy Trends →
Geothermal Energy-Is It Costly?
Geothermal Energy is the energy obtained from the heat stored in the deep layers of earth’s crust. It is a renewable energy and does not produce any harmful effluents as in the case of other fossil fuels. Its abundance and reliability make it more considerable for future power production. We can group the utility of geothermal energy into three- power production, ground source heat pump and use of derived heat. The basic principle involved in Read more about Geothermal Energy-Is It Costly? →
What Is GeoThermal Energy?
Basically, geothermal energy means heat from the earth. From the Greek word geo which means earth and the word thermo which means heat. Geothermal energy is energy which comes from the heat of the Earth. A massive amount of heat originates due to the chemical reactions which take place in the innermost part of the Earth. This heat build ups has a temperature as high as 9000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this outrageous heat can be Read more about What Is GeoThermal Energy? →
