Within my final major project, I will be expected to draw upon the skills and knowledge that I have developed over the past few years whilst being at UCA. I choose to look at something with real world value, a subject of great importance and significance to current society. My initial plan would be to look at the subject of Energy. It's purpose is intrinsic to every modern day activity, within electronic devices, cars, and major corporations. More specifically, I choose to focus on the issues surrounding energy creation, and the numerous ways in which it can be harvested.
For starters, coal has always been a standard fuel in which we burn to transform into the electricity we know, love, and depend on. This fuel is of limited supply, as is that of natural gases. Thus, we have chosen nuclear as an option too, which unfortunately is a dangerous subject to go down, and the current method produces a large amount of waste, only 1% of the product used for nuclear is actually usable in today's current methods.
CO2 is the gas we output most of in the world, as it serves to be fairly safe for human breathing as it's the same gas we exhale. But as the appetite of the world increases exponentially by the year, one has to question the use of non-renewable sources for our energy, and the destruction it may be causing in the long-term. I plan on delving deeper into this subject to find out just how this affects us, if and how it may affect the current generation's future.
