essentially the Federal Reserve (Fed) is creating more money. Technically, the Fed is buying bonds from the government. But essentially that means there's a lot more money going out in the economy. So that's the main cause
Among the wonderful challenges now is that we frequently feel unaffected by the problems of the other people and from international problems such as climate change, even if we can readily do something to assist. We don’t feel strongly enough that we’re a part of a worldwide community, a...
The challenge of modelling distributed generation is highlighted, concluding that for this growing trend there is no one tool that can capture all the interactions that occur with the wider electricity system. However, soft-linking of individual models is suggested as a technique to integrate the ...
When they're gone, they're gone for good. Also, some energy sources, such as the coal-burning power plants that generate nearly half of U.S. electricity, pour out carbon dioxide, which threatens to change Earth's climate in dangerous ways [source: Dosomething.org]. Energy vampires drain...
The other model governed by the energy levels of the three materials is the energy transfer model (ETM) [40,125,126], which sometimes can co-occur with the CTM in the same ternary system. In this model, as shown in Fig. 2(d1, d2), it is assumed that one of the two donors or...
In other words, energy efficiency is increasing and less energy is needed to produce more, particularly now that so many nations are moving from industrial to post-industrial societies. Furthermore, poorer countries have been growing faster than richer countries and the economic stability is paving ...
For breakout to occur there must be changes at the third, “landscape,” level that destabilize the regime. Notably, MLP pictures the landscape asexogenousto regimes and niches. The landscapesetsconditions for the viability of regimes and niches. Changes to the landscape may make a regime less ...
[5] The narrative, “We are moving away from fossil fuels to prevent climate change,” seems to be self-organized by the dissipative structures underlying Advanced Economies. The real story is that fossil fuels are moving away from us. Somehow, we must adapt, very quickly, to this ...
So rather than tracing matter and energy, Level 1 students focus on what they can see, and they interpret events in everyday language. They envision the events of the world as natural processes that occur whenactorssuch as people, animals, plants, or even fames have what they need. Theseen...
WS droughts occur when both wind and solar SREPI values fall below −1.28 for the entire drought period, which corresponds to the 10th percentile or below of production in both resources. The drought may last 2 h or more.1 LWS droughts use the same definition for wind and solar but add...
