The Future of EnergyEssay Preview: The Future of EnergyReport this essayUnit 4 Assignment – The Future of EnergySC300: Big Ideas in Science08/22/2013The intention of this assignment is to evaluate personal energy use and talk about the forms of energy that I presently count on and the sources that they originate from. In this paper I will talk about renewable energy sources, the advantage and disadvantage of the energy source that I currently use and in addition about the renewable ones that have been identified. The end of my paper will report about energy conservation and its impact on the environment.
As stated by Energy4me (2013), energy is incarnate in everything and it comes from a number of sources and forms. The forms of energy are classified in two general categories, potential and kinetic. Kinetic energy does the work. Light, heat, motion while Potential energy is energy stored in an object like chemical, mechanical, nuclear and gravitational. The light energy that we use in my home comes from a power plant of my city called NYSEG; it provides the electric energy to power up the electrical system. We also use solar panels on my home and that energy comes from the sun and it conquered through the solar panels into my home.
When it comes to light energy, the most significant renewable resource that we should use is solar. In accordance with NREL (2013), solar energy can be used within photovoltaic cells (PV) which catches it and transforms it into electric energy. Solar technologies are generally characterized by the way in which the solar radiation is captured. There is passive solar, which refers to the conversion of sunlight to useful energy without the assistance of any type mechanical devices (solarium). Active solar refers to the conversion of sunlight by means of some type electrical or mechanical equipment. Photovoltaic cells can be used in both passive and active solar capture. This is why I use solar panels where I live.
The Solar Council of Australia (SCCA) in Canberra is an international agreement signed on December 12 2013 in cooperation with the Indian National Corporation, and I don’t think it was ever made public that our members, especially the Solar Council, do not believe that photovoltaic technologies meet all the fundamental needs of Australia.
When the National Energy Board (NERSB) reports to the Governor‑General on December 12, 2013, they will consider whether or not to adopt any renewable power technologies or other renewable energy technologies. I’d expect the decision will take time (I hope) but with significant focus.
The National Energy Board report has had some positive results which has brought the issue of renewable energy into the forefront of Australian political and policy discussion, particularly in light of recent news about the development of wind and hydro. If all of which is taken to mean that Australia needs to do more work to meet our energy use, I think we can make progress towards a sustainable future for Australia.
While a number of my colleagues were very supportive of the NERB report, we were very disappointed by some of the statements made by the Governor‑General that I have in writing with the Minister.
The National Energy Board has made a number of recommendations relating to renewable energy sources and this includes: (1) ensuring that renewable energy remains the main source of revenue within the NERB’s review; (2) establishing a national policy of zero emissions; (3) making sure renewables are excluded from the NERB’s review; (4) establishing a system to check if any of these are not renewable and when and where it is going to be done; (5) establishing public awareness of the need for sustainable solutions; (6) ensuring and ensuring that it is not mandatory for all renewable energy sources to be covered by the NERB review; (7) ensuring that its members accept that solar and wind technologies will be a part of Australian society in the future; (8) ensuring that the NERB has the credibility to offer advice to Australian businesses and investors on its renewable energy investments and on renewable energy financing strategies; (9) ensuring that it is committed to its role in setting future renewable energy policy.
The National Energy Board report of December 12 of 2013, which has been read to us by our Governor‑General and has been shared with us regularly, was clearly written by NERB Head Dr John Norsworthy, and has brought together the work of a group of members to achieve this goal.
I believe this report was a timely and important message to our members to seek a better understanding of both the strengths and weaknesses of some renewable energy technologies in Australia.
This report was prepared for the National Grid to provide assistance to the Government during the 2016/2017 Government shutdown, beginning at 5pm local time and

At this present time we are receiving our heat energy through the electrical system as well as with natural gas. This is a form of non- renewable energy and it is not the most suitable one. Where I live in NY State we should use the geothermal heating and cooling systems, because New York State lacks traditional geothermal energy sources (volcanoes, geysers and hot springs). However, the earth absorbs almost 50% of the suns energy. Geothermal heat pumps utilize the energy absorbing capacity of the earth to heat indoor air during the cold winter months and remove heat from indoor air during the warm summer months.
The most important advantages of the energy source that we currently rely on in my household are electricity. They are a mixture of advantages and disadvantages of renewable and non- renewable energies in NY State. The advantage of renewable resources is that we can use renewable energy repeatedly without depleting it. The main advantage is the fact that these sources of energy are renewable. We will never run out of renewable energy (at least in our lifetime, as long as humans will exist) solar energy – the sun will always be there. With renewable energy we can use as much electricity as we like without adding to global warming. The disadvantage of renewable energy is energy derived from sources that will not run out. Some of the present disadvantages are that solar panels are expensive. Most Governments are not all willing to buy home generated electricity and not all climates are suitable for solar panels anyway.
The main disadvantage of non- renewable energy is that it cant be renewed. There is only a finite amount of these energy sources (oil, gas and coal) and if we keep using them they will eventually run out. Another disadvantage
