Our+Future

﻿ Our Future The future of our Earth is uncertian at the moment. Most of the population will say that our Earth is dieing due Global Warming. But others say that it is just the cycle of our Earth. I believe that if we continue using the energy we do, ignoring the fact of Global Warming, Earth will eventually die. Statistics are and have changed dramtically in the last decade, more carbon emissions are being released, an increase in temperature and natural diasters, especially earthquakes and the population is increasing. There were 3 billion in 1990, now 6.9 billion and in 2050 it is estimated to be at 9 billion. The more people, the larger amount of carbon is realesed into the atmosphere which means that global warming will effect us a lot more than it is now. But if we act now and change our future, this can all change. One thing is certain, renewable energy will be a big part of our future. The future belongs to Renewable Energy. **Nucleur Energy ** The time of Nucleur Energy is coming to a close. Some people think that Nuclear Energy is here to stay and we must learn to live with it. Others say that we should get rid of all nuclear weapons and power plants. Both sides have their cases as there are advantages and disadvantages to nuclear energy. Still others have opinions that fall somewhere between. As we have seen in Japan, Nucleur Energy is very dangerous, causing many people to die. Many people and companys are beginnining to fight against Nucleur power and this is right. What to you think we should do? __Advantages:__
 * The earth has limited supplies of coal and oil
 * Nuclear Power plants need less fuels than ones which burn fossil fuels
 * Coal and oil plants produce pollution. Well- operated nuclear power plants do not contaminate the environment

__Disadvantages:__
 * Nuclear explosions cause radiation
 * Nuclear reactors have a big disposal problem
 * Nuclear reactors only last for forty to fifty years
 * One possible type of reactor disaster is known as a meltdown. In such an accident, the fission reaction goes out of control, leading to a nuclear explosion and the emission of great amounts of radiation.

**Energy Conservation ** Energy Conservation refers to the efforts made to reduce energy consumption. It can be achieved through increased efficient energy use, with decreased energy consumption and reduced consumption from conventional energy resources. Links: []
