I. The First Law of Thermodynamics, commonly known as the Law of

Conservation of Matter, states that matter/energy cannot be created nor can

it be destroyed.II. II. The Second Law of Thermodynamics

is commonly known as the Law of Increased Entropy. While quantity

remains the same (First Law), the quality of matter/energy deteriorates gradually

over time. How so?

Usable energy is inevitably used for productivity, growth and repair. In the process, usable

energy is converted into unusable energy. Thus, usable energy is irretrievably lost in the form of

unusable energy.

Energy Consumption Flaring

Is combustion of natural gas in the big power biolers a crime ?

Yes, it is !Gas is a raw material for a chemical industry and a fuel for

clean transport. The country which is using a gas for energy production can nit say that is implementing suitanble

development.

The World Needs To Rapidly DevelopNew Energy Sources

Integration of energy & water production plans very crucial,

especially for developing countries…

son will ride a camel."

Future Transportation?

Ultimately, the future is for solar.

But nuclear power can bridge the the gap.
