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.

And Growing Water Demand
Integration of energy & water production plans very crucial,
especially for developing countries…

Future Transportation?
Ultimately, the future is for solar.
But nuclear power can bridge the the gap.
