Weekly Speaking HW(Sept. 16)
On September 16th,at 10:00 am I spoke with a master student in VCU,”Gopal Pareck” about energy resources and energy crisis in the world. According to him, the world is running out of energy fast. And the energy consumption increases day by day.For example today many people are useing electric toothbrushes.So we need more energy. And I asked him ”What are the energy resources of USA?”.He answered that “The energy resources ,used to generate electric power has changed over time. Today more than half of electricpower presently generated is derived from coal. And nuclear power is following the coal as a rate of one fifth. And the other important resources are natural gas and hydroelectric. Beside them renewable energy resources have importance, but, unfortunately they have not enough capasity. Consequently we agree that the government should invest in alternative energy resources and we should try to use electricity less.
