Renewable Energy Generates Enough Power to Run 70% of Australian Homes

New figures show that the energy sector of Australia is able to generate enough power to run 70% of homes. Not only is this amazing, but it is predicted to rise to 90% once the wind and solar projects are under way in 2017-2018. This renewable energy is not only good for the environment, but is also good for the economy. Most of the energy is formed by hyrdo-electricity, wind, and rooftop solar panels. This booming renewable energy market is also good for jobs, providing many people with employment opportunities. I think that this is absolutely great for the environment, the people of Australia, and the economy.

    This is very good to know and could definitely help the World now and in the future. More houses could be built in that area benefiting the environment and helping people that live there as well. Maybe in the future the world will find many different areas that have these energy sectors.

    With Australia using this kind of technology it could lead to other countries evolving and also using the technology. It would not only be great for the environment but also the economy if we can make it work without any problems. It excites me to see this kind of technology being created!

    Renewable energy sources could change the face of the world if they became the most widely used method to obtain energy. Not only would the human population be able to positively thrive off of renewable energy sources, but it would also allow the earth to thrive as well. If more institutions used solar energy, hydroelectricity, or wind to power themselves, not only would there be significant pollution decreases all throughout the world, but it would also allow the Earth to begin to recuperate from the damage that humans have already inflicted.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
