Why do you burn fuels?
to produce energy, which gives people electricity etc
Does the sun produce electricity?
No, the sun does not directly produce electricity. Instead, solar panels use the sun's energy to generate electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels convert the sun's light into electrical energy that can be used to power homes, buildings, and devices.
What kind of resources does DER supply?
DER, Distributed Energy Resources, supplies energy to the public. DER distributes an alternative energy source, such as solar and wind power to make electricity for people.
Best fuel eficient cars?
Electric cars are the most efficient since electricity plants can produce energy more efficiently than internal combustion engines but because of their limited distances Hybrid cars are a more practical alternative for most people.
What function of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants, which produce heat by generating nuclear reactions. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Additionally, nuclear energy is used in some countries to power naval vessels, such as submarines and aircraft carriers.
Why is biomass becoming more important?
Since this world's fossil fuel supply is getting lower, people need to find alternative forms of energy to continue producing electricity. Since biomass is an alternative energy source, its importance is growing in place of fossil fuels.
Why do you pay for electricity if all the electricity that flows into your house flows out again?
The electricity that flows into your house is used by your appliances, devices, and lights to perform tasks. This consumption of electricity incurs costs as the power grid delivers electricity to your house and you are billed accordingly for the amount of electricity you use. The electricity that flows out again essentially represents the work done by your electrical devices.
What is the definition for alternative energy source?
Usually an "alternative energy source" is one that is not now a major contributor to our energy supplies. That would make "alternative energy" anything that is not based on fossil fuels of one sort or another. Some people exclude nuclear energy from the "alternative" universe
Why do people use energy?
People use solar energy, because if solar energy can be used for electricity and heat, we have to use electricity,or to use heat. This is either to see or to cook and to stay warm with electricity and heat.
What is No Electricity Day?
No Electricity Day is an event that encourages people to reduce their electricity usage for one day. It aims to raise awareness about energy conservation, promote sustainable living practices, and highlight the impact of electricity consumption on the environment. Participants are encouraged to find alternative ways to power their activities during this day.
Can fruits be used an alternative in conducting electricity?
Yes, many people have experimented and it has worked.
Why are alternative sources of energy preferable for future generation of electricity?
Because the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming. We have plenty of coal around the world but we have to stop using it now because of future generations of people (as well as future generation of electricity!).
