Energy: What is the solution?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,


The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. So how can we conserve enough energy for our growing demands without damaging the environment?

There are so many arguments amongst environmentalists, Government, scientists and energy companies about what energy source will be the answer to all of our problems that it’s really hard for Jo Public to know what the best solution is.

I am going to attempt to take the knowledge that I have learnt during the first year of my BSc in Environmental Studies and write a series of posts exploring a variety of energy solutions.
In each post I will explore the process of converting energy from one form to another, the disadvantages and advantages of each one.

Nuclear - good or bad?

The categories will include:

  1. Fossil fuels
  2. Nuclear
  3. Wind
  4. Solar
  5. Hydro and Tidal Wave
  6. Geothermal
  7. Biofuels and Biomass
  8. Kinetic energy

I will aim to write at least one post a week, though my apologies now if I get a bit behind.

It would be good to use the posts to have discussions with you all with respect to what you think about the energy solutions and how realistic it is for our energy needs to be met via that source.
