Energy Source

Energy Source

Energy has been considered to be alive, from birth which was at the creation of the universe. It constantly changes from one type of energy into another type, but as energy ages it loses its ability to perform and be used efficiently. We use energy in our everyday lives however, with the use of energy there is some pollution that is emitted into the atmosphere.
      Although energy comes in a number of different forms and is located everywhere within the universe, it evolves everywhere around our world and in our daily lives. Since there are many types of energy, each type has a specific set of properties. We need energy to live, to heat our homes, run our cars, to power our stereos, and be able to continue to develop human civilization on earth. Therefore finding ways to produce energy from various sources is high on the list of priorities for man.
    According to The Secret Life of Energy (2008), “Energy is a physical quantity that is conserved in our universe; it cannot be created nor destroyed. However, there is one exception, which is nuclear reaction, where mass is turned into energy, which occurs in the center of stars and in nuclear reactors.” An electric light bulb changes electrical energy into light energy, with this being done, more than one form of energy is created. Electric was turned into light energy, and if you feel a light bulb you can feel the heat, therefore the electricity created two types of energy, which was light energy and heat energy. Even though the main objective is to produce light energy, the heat energy that was produced by the light bulb is considered lost energy.
    With the use of energy over a period of time, we face problems such as aging energy. The Secret Life of Energy stated that “the study of thermal or heat energy is called thermodynamics, and the law of conservation of energy is known as the first law of thermodynamics. The first law indicated that the amount of energy in the universe is the same as it was...
