plants have been shutting down due to the Clean Air Act, our country can not be sustained by wind energy. Some people speculate that nuclear should be the answer. Although wind energy is a well known renewable energy source, it has raised many questions as to how efficient the machine is, installation costs, efficacy, environmental issues, and, foreign control. Fossil fuels bring their own problems to the table but they can at least power our nation. It all starts with coal plants one…
Toronto is still cold and negative degree end of April?. Burning fossil fuel, deforestation and waste of energy are the major contributions to climate change.

the cost of nuclear, 40% the cost of fossil fuel, and 25% the cost of using natural gas.” This amount of hydroelectricity will be about $3 trillion in investment and make about 60 trillion kWhs of electricity. Telling them them how my energy resource benefits our area, economy and community. I would start off by letting them know hydroelectricity is fueled by water. Which means that it's a clean source, meaning it won't cause pollution in the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels such…
such as carbon dioxide emits into the atmosphere, also caused by burning of fossil fuel and deforestation. Average temperature around the world has increased by 0.75 Celsius. in past 100 years. David G Victor said in his book that global temperature around the world has been increasing rapidly. In the past decade, the global temperature has increased by 1 degree Celsius, due to human activities such as using fossil fuel which emits carbon dioxide in to the earth’s atmosphere.
