Seventh Post: Renewable Solutions 🔌🔋🔍💡⌛️

So this is where it all leads up to. The one things this is all about. Renewable solutions. You have all been given an overview of all the solutions we have available to us and the reasons why we are trying to stop them. Pollution is the key factor here. While their are controversies saying that Global Warming is just a myth, a false pretense, their is still one thing that remains true. The fact that fossil fuels is burning bodies of the dead and shooting into our clean atmosphere. That's the only we have, we don't want lose it. Those bodies are eating up our ozone layer. The one shield our planet has to block harmful radiation from our sun and other external energies. The sun gives off radiation that, in tight concentrations, can be exceedingly deadly. The ozone layer before hand was strong enough to block all of that radiation and keep energies of our own planet inside. But with the decomposing bodies of the past in our atmosphere, it has eroded a "hole" in it and thus allowing the radiation from the sun to leap clean through our Sheila. And the radiation that is supposed to be kept out is kept inside by our earths un breakable defense. 

Sixth Post: Pollution 💩🚿🚬

As you have probably already guessed, these posts so far have been on how to resolve our global warming crisis. But the reason that we are acting as such is because of one thing. Pollution. We see it everyday but the topics that have been touched on have been related to energy related pollution, which in itself contributes to a significant amount of our planets pollution. I'm very sure that everyone has at least heard of of the saying "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" at least once. That was the same concept going into alternate energy based fuel. Reusing wind, water, solar, and nuclear energies to replace the over active use of fossil fuels. 

The above shows what could happen if we didn't have pollution on one side and on the other side is what could happen in 50 or so years. A type of Wall-E future. It is our decision on what goes and what happens in our world.

Fifth Post: Fossil Fuel 🐉🐲

If there is one energy source we are try to not use but it so used would be Fossil Fuels. The one energy that is causing this energy crisis we are in. It is, in the most blunt sense, the most disgusting source of fuel. Why? Everyone already knows that the biproduct of this universally used source of energy is Carbon dioxide. And it emits a crap ton of it. No, sorry, it's the machines and the country that uses it that causes this number to rise. Currently, this is measured in metric tons of carbon. Why is this source really so bad? Perhaps a diagram would explain it better.

Fossil fuel nowadays is called what we know as oil/crude oil. But how did it get there. The start of this happened 65 million years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs. And although there was a bit of oil in their time, it had not accumulated to a great extent. When the dinosaurs died, their bodies decomposed into the soil and the ground beneath. Many other living things also died within that time and that also added to this. Over time these decomposing masses let out gas in their compressed spaces. Then layers of non porous and porous rock were compressed on top of it all. The mammals came to be and walked all of the surface of our planet. The layers continued to build, further compressing the bodies. The bodies at our present time would have then liquified under the intense pressure. Have you already guessed why we are experiencing global warming? We are burning the remnants of the past and pushing it into our atmosphere. And all bodies have some form of carbon in them. That's why we measure the amount of carbon each country uses in metric tons.

Among the top countries are: China, the United States, India, Russia, and Japan. 

This is one fuel source we have been trying to avoid using. Although we are already too dependent on it to stop, based on how much we utilize it. 

There is only a slim hope that we can correct this massive error.

Fourth Post: Nuclear Energy 💣

Nuclear Energy is one that is prominently known throughout the entire world. Utilized for much of the energy that it creates, we use this source for one of our most primary sources of energy to date. Nuclear energy utilizes an exoteric process called nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity. The pros of this reliable source of energy are that it can produce large quantities of energy with only one plant.

The cons of this form of energy are that it produces nuclear waste and also a small amount of carbon dioxide. It isn't as much as oil plants, beleive it or not, but it still holds a great significance. And then there is the issue of what happens if ANYTHING goes wrong. Everything in a nuclear plants runs on a continuous system. It can get kind of confusing so let's have a diagram to help out.

The entire plant is centered over a stable water source. Water is run to the plant and to the pump connected to the containment building. The steam is used to heat up a large sample of uranium to create a large amount of heat. But to control this exoteric process, control rods are place to keep the system consistent and controlled. The steam is run into a condenser and a turbine. The steam turns the turbine and generate electricity. The excess water goes into the water cooler and it evaporates into the atmosphere.

But the main thing that makes this one of the most deadliest and dangerous forms of energy is what could happen if something goes wrong. Example A: Chernobyl. 

Ok, ok, I realize that the movie itself didn't happen. But what Chernobyl is now is a deserted wasteland. Due to chemical meltdown in the uranium core reactor, radiation levels sweeped the area killing anyone that was left behind. And the radiation is still extremely toxic even to this day. After 28 years, the radiation is still there. While the Pros of this economically astounding energy is very large, the consequences for even the slightest mistake could be very severe and fatal.

Third Post: Hydraulic Energy ⛵️🚤🚣

Hydraulic energy, simply water-powered energy. It utilizes the force and current of water to turn motors that will generate a continuous amount of energy. It's not an infinite amount of energy but it will remain continuous for a long time. Take the Hoover Dam. It wasn't made just for show and tell (well maybe it was), it was made to generate electricity. Here is how it all works:

When the dam is completely built there is a large storage of water against that immense wall. There is an intake valve for the water to go through. The water then travels down one of the many channels to a generator. Due to the speed and strength of the current, the generator is allowed to make a large quantity of electricity at a time. During that process, the electric current flows through the power lines where the will transported to power plant to be distributed elsewhere. After the current has flowed through the generator, the tailgater flows out into a more controlled river flow. The pros of this amazing, fuel saving solution is that it gives large quantities of clean electricity. The cons of this solution are very high to say the least. Before the dams are built, engineers and construction workers must seek out a large river and or a lake. They must then build the dam on top of it. This construction destroys much of the surrounding area and drastically changes the habitat of the fellow creatures that live there. This solution is also one of the most expensive solutions out there. So for the payoff for these dams to last, these need to last a couple decades to pull off the debt. 

This could be our solution but it could also be easily cast aside. There are other uses for hydraulic energy, but on a much smaller scale. 

Water mills, to grind up corn and wheat. 

Hydraulic Energy is a great fuel saver. But what we lose is great amount of money because of it. We may not be using this on the large scale much, but what we gain from it could last a lifetime.

Second Post: Wind Energy 💨

The next topic of the week is the elusive Wind Energy. Wind Energy allows us to utilize the winds natural...well...wind to convert into energy. We use windmills to do this. California has already taken a giant leap forward in completely utilize this potential even having an entire mountain range dedicated to this effort. Though there is just one catch to this revolutionary energy solution. Each windmill costs a ton of money. And making each windmill takes more money than is actually received. But it still is a viable solution to our energy crisis.

I realize that  there are some issues on my blog which shall be fixed later on.
