Geothermal Energy in Australia
Geothermal Energy in Australia Geothermal energy is being investigated as a possible energy source for the electricity generation primarily because of its enormous potential to power cities like Adelaide for a very long time. About 3-5 kilometers below the surface of Australia are huge resources of granite that the molten core of the earth has heated to about 250 degrees centigrade. One cubic kilometer of hot granite at this temperature has the same energy potential

Alternative Forms of Generating Electrical Energy: Wind, Solar and Fuel Cell Power
The societal demands for electrical energy have drastically increased in the past number of years. The sharp escalation of fuel consumption caused the demand for fossil fuels, which generate electrical energy, to increase as well. Almost 80% of domestic electricity use is used for space and water heating. To reduce the amount of energy produced by fossil fuels, the amount of electricity used must be lessened, and other renewable methods of electrical energy generation must

Oil is the black gold of the twentieth century; it has transformed a number of developing countries, like Saudi Arabia, from being poor to being wealthy and has fast-forwarded the industrial revolution in most western nations. It was, however, also the source for many 20th century conflicts like the gulf war. We differentiate two forms of energy: sustainable energy and fossil fuels (primarily oil, coal and natural gas). Wind, solar, geothermal and tidal energy are

Weighing Different Renewable Energy Options
I wonder how we can resolve the conundrum that while renewable energy can help resolve the world-wide accumulation of manmade global warming gases, few want wind farms near them. Most people like the idea of windmills added to our power grid, providing us with a non-polluting energy source--until it threatens their area. So, how can it happen? I don't remember anyone having a choice about a hydro-electric dam stopping up their river or a coal-burning

The Coming Energy Crisis
Two hundred years ago, the world experienced an energy revolution that launched the Industrial Age. The catalyst to this epochal shift was ordinary black coal, an energy-rich hydrocarbon that supplanted wood as the primary fuel. The energy stored in coal gave inventors and industrialists the power they needed to process steel, propel steamships, and energize machines. A century later, the industrialized world's thirst for energy had increased tremendously. Petroleum and natural gas were exploited as
