Description
Energy consumption is a huge part of our daily live, we eat with energy, we travel with energy, we work with energy and we even flirt with energy, but where does all of the energy come from? Today, we gather most of our energy from coal, oil and natural gas; also known as fossil fuels, additionally we gather energy from biomass, nuclear and renewable fossil fuels consisted of the extracted decomposed organisms and plants that existed millions of years ago.Biomass converts plants into biometric material that produce energy, nuclear energy is released during nuclear fusion, lastly, renewable energy comes from a source that’s not depleted when used such as wind or solar power but what’s the profound difference between them?How they do effect our planet? Fossil fuels cost more than what we pay at the pump and impacts our environment in many ways, these impacts include global warming, air quality deterioration, oil spills and acid rain, it’s also projected fossil fuel resources will be depleted within the next fifty to one hundred years, biomass and nuclear energy also have similar issues.
