Mitigation Plan and Solutions.
By John ward
All of us use energy every day-for everything such as transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, and entertainment. The decision we make about how we use energy-turning machines off when we're not using them or choosing to buy energy efficient appliances-impact our environment and our lives. Energy is very hard to produce depending on where it is coming from such as a nuclear power plant or coal power plant, or a hydroelectricity plant each plant has a pro and a con which means they do there share to help and destroy the earth. I want to develop a mitigation to create sustainment on earth; I will create a plan and explain how it will affect earth. Energy conservation is a big problem here in American and around the world, the US is the number one violator in the energy wasting, we as American waste about seventy percent, with Russia and China right behind us. (Energy Conservation, (H Enringer, 2007) Before we can find solution to a energy problem crisis we must first under stand what is energy. Energy's etymology derives from late Latin energia , from Greek as energia, meaning activity, also from energos as active, so this mean work.(Webster, 2009) So energy is defined as the ability to provide work by mechanical use, for example oil burns to make heat, heat boils water, water turns to steam, steam pressure turns a turbine, turbine turns an electric generator, generator produces electricity, electricity powers light bulbs light bulbs give off light and heat. Nonrewnable energy is a growing problem around the world coal plants destroy habitats lush forest so we are able to dig deep in to the earth's core to get coal we can only dig so far and so much. Nuclear plant create over ten million pounds of nuclear waste and no where to store, so companies dump them in rivers, ocean and bury it in the ground creating a whole other problem. We now need to rely on renewable sources such...
