Abstract
New Energy from Old Sources
Ecological Journal, volume 82, №5, 2004, New York
The headline of the article is "New Energy from old sources". The author of the article is an ecologist of New York University - Professor J. Brown. It is taken from Ecological Journal, volume 82, and №5, 2004, New York.
The article deals with the problems of sources of energy. It describes how people can get energy from unusual sources. The author outlines the problems of natural resources as well.
Accordingly the paper is devoted to the important problem of finding solutions of energy problems. Data are presented on the fact, that the stock of fossil at present time is the main source of energy and it is constantly reducing. Besides, the author brings to light the idea of developing some methods of realizing new sources of energy. Suggestions are made on the usage of energy from under-Earth stock of steam, reusing of deposit's energy.
Therefore the need is stressed to save more energy and to employ other sources of energy (the heat of the steam deposits, currents and tidal energy; the power of wind; subterranean hot waters, wave power, etc). Moreover, the article attempts to clarify the possibility heating dwelling-places with the warmth of the Sun's heat and supply energy for small villages from the windmills. Suggestions are made on the usage of the solar cell. Finally the author comes to the conclusion that the problem of getting new energy must be thoroughly studied, as it is very actual and important today.
Thus, the mentioned sources can give good chance for getting energy in the future. It's safe to say, the article may be of importance for ecologists, engineers and those who are interested in ecological problems.
