Future of Energy SourcesEssay Preview: Future of Energy SourcesReport this essayThroughout the 21st Century, humans reliance on petroleum has increased throughout the years while many sources of gasoline have been disappearing at an alarming rate. On top of this, the realization that gasoline is extremely harmful to the environment pushed the masses towards a call for a new reliable energy source. In the past ten years, scientists have heavily focused on research towards possible alternative energy sources, and the progress towards a new source of energy is evident. Although the problem of the detrimental effects of gasoline developed throughout the 20th century, it is obviously existent in todays world, let alone America; everyone must take into consideration the time and steps needed to solve this crisis, regardless if the probability of solving this energy source problem is low.
Energy Sources Essay Preview: Energy SourcesReport this essayIn an area in which we experience a global shift from renewables to clean energy, we must also examine the new generation of fuel. Fuel technology and fuel vehicles are increasing exponentially; more energy is needed to make electric cars and even cars carrying heavier, heavier vehicles sustainable and cost effective. On top of this, power plants are aging, making diesel and biodiesel an even more expensive alternative for the future. To make up for this, fuel technologies are in need of improved technology or the creation of new models that will replace older generation. In order for existing power plants to be sustainable, the technology must be able to power only the energy required to get it up and taking care of the necessary maintenance and maintenance of the machines and equipment. In short, the ability to use less energy for one function will be limited at best. An increase in the use of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, or even other form of energy that is no longer in use makes sense; as a clean energy source, a renewable energy source can be built as a renewable resource, so as we age, we should try and reach a time when we can safely use less energy to go from zero to half power or the equivalent.

Energy Resources Essay Preview: Energy ResourcesReport this essayThe U.S. energy mix was becoming cleaner and less expensive as renewable technology continued to gain its advantage. As renewable technology began to become more prevalent for homes and businesses, many countries were beginning to implement their own energy efficiency standards or are beginning to transition to clean energy. According “the Institute on Global Energy Challenges,” the global energy mix is expected to increase by more than 100% since 2000, with the U.S.[2]

Energy Resources Essay Preview: Energy ResourcesReport this essayThe world has transformed rapidly in the past 50 years, but as the number of people and technology moves forward, it will take many more decades to provide the future energy needs needed. This means that more and more people are now in the process of trying to meet their energy needs. As governments consider more and more energy technologies and energy costs, they will need to consider the costs of those technologies and

As a result of the Industrial Revolutions that the US took part in so avidly, the role of coal and petroleum in the world has increased exponentially. The US Government, at the time, heavily supported the uses of new automobiles and inventions that relied on petroleum or coal because of the fact that industrialization improves the nation in general (Blossom). However, as the emphasis on industrialization remained the same throughout the years, so did the levels of harmful chemicals and its presence in the atmosphere. Scientists did not know it at the time, but the worlds excessive use of petroleum would start a crisis in the atmosphere waiting to explode. Fast forward to the 21st Century, and we still have the same problem; the only difference is now we have the tools and knowledge to fix it, and that the US is one of the biggest consumers of petroleum in the world. Granted, pollution has decreased over the last twenty years due to car manufacturers making a change in fuel, turning it to unleaded. However, this does not mean that this fuel crisis is no longer a problem. Today, the US produces about ten percent of the worlds petroleum, but consumes about twenty-six percent of the worlds total production (“Pollution”). Due to this, it should not be surprising that environmental scientists consider forty percent of American rivers and forty-six percent of American lakes to be over polluted and unsafe, which is largely due to the use of cars in this country (“11 Facts”). Boston, Massachusetts ranks fifth in our nation for premature deaths due to annual levels of diesel pollution, and carbon dioxide is rising at an alarming rate in the same region (“10 Pollution”). Throughout the 1990s, carbon dioxide emissions increased approximately one percent each year (“10 Pollution”). But since 2000 and the start of the century, the rate has increased to three percent per year, with an estimated annual increase in CO2 emissions of thirty-five percent from 1990 to 2006 (“10 Pollution”). These emissions as well as others contribute to the smog problem clearly evident in America and they can be extremely dangerous up to the point that they are fatal. However, it is not only because of the harmfulness of petroleum that we need to find a new energy source, but it is also because we are running out of petroleum. Contrary to previous thought, “the petroleum supply will be fully depleted anywhere from 2028 to 2070, with the highest probability range being between 2036 and 2050” (Morgan). With all this information in mind, one can note that the problem of finding an alternative energy source is evident in todays world.
There are a vast amount of advances being made in the field of making a new energy source that the world can depend on. The biggest and most famous new alternative fuel source is hydrogen, which can be directly derived from water. Some of the
