Alternative Energy for a Changing Climate
Published December 27, 2011 | 
Why are alternative energy sources, to our current reliance of “fossil fuels”, so important? If we as a society are to solve the problem of putting extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere then we need to find another way to power our cars, heat and produce electricity for our homes and business, and produce much of our food. Our society relies so heavily on the combustion of fossil fuels that there probably isn’t one magic bullet – but a combination of approaches that will need to be employed.

Leave a commentWhat Happens Now After the Fukushima Incident?
Published July 30, 2011 | There are many ways in which Fukushima incident has changed our world. It marked an important incident, which showed nature is still the most prevalent force on the planet. When nature’s fury strikes, there is not much that you can do about it; as nature is the most powerful force that can offset any technology that mankind has created. The nuclear power plant at Fukushima was not an exception to this rule, as all the fail safe mechanisms failed one after the another. First the powerful magnitude 6 earthquake occurred and then the corresponding Tsunami overcame all the technological defenses of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. As a result, the cooling system collapsed and this led to series of events which led to the overheating of the nuclear reactor core. Luckily, the system’s fail-safe mechanisms in concordance with Japanese emergency efforts allowed a bigger catastrophe to be averted.
