Energy: (Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Coal, Natural Gas)
-
Wind
Usage: The usage of solar energy is often found in places where wind is present 75% of the year. More than 6 Million KwH are produced every year from the use of wind powered energy. Wind mills are often the most common form of how wind energy is produced.
How wind benefits our society: Wind is used commonly to reduce emissions and produce energy naturally. The natural use of this allows emissions from burins fossil fuels or coal to go down eliminating carbon emissions. The size of the wind mills are fairly large so there must be enough room as well as wind present in the environment it is put in.
Natural Gas
Coal Energy
Hazards use of Coal:Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts
Solution: The usage of Coal and burning the coal to emit energy is very harmful to the environment and the surrounding habitats. Humans have developed many health problems as well as animals around the coal plants. Usage a natural source of energy such as wind and solar will eliminate the emissions. Using Natural Gas is a safer and cleaner burning source of energy that involves the burins of ignitions.
-
Usage: Natural gas serves as a purpose to 31% of the United States Energy consumption. The amount of Natural Gas used also serves to produce mass amounts of chemicals and fertilizers.

Nuclear Energy Usage:
The use of nuclear energy has controlled over 55% of the clean burning energy in the U.S. The use of other burnable items instead of fossil fuels has allowed a cleaner safer burn that emits less emissions and carbon into the atmosphere. Smog is seen in the image above of how a nuclear power plant emits pollution into the environment.
How we can reduce the amount of Nuclear Energy Burning: Producing electricity can be tough especially when replacing nuclear power. This not only replaces 55% of power consumption but also has to be reduced in order for us to eliminate the production of carbon. Using solar plants to cover the area were the nuclear plant pervasively was can produce just enough power.

How Solar and Wind can act as a catalyst to one another: Solar and Wind could be used to be catalyst for one another because of their variation in natural producers of energy. One supports the other and can be generating energy to the same output reducing the amount of other fossil fuel burnings and more.
-
-Used in areas that have high volumes of radiation to produce energy from the radiation contact on the solar panel.
The combustion of natural gas produces sulfur, mercury, and particulates. Burning natural gas does produce nitrogen oxides (NOx). Nitrogen Oxides are producers of smog which pollute the environment.
Using renewable energy rather than burning fossil fuels, etc. We can use wind or solar to replace the amount of Natural Gas needed to help sustain these producers that use them to make chemicals and more.
