| | |  future energy development: Encyclopedia II - Energy development - Energy sourcesEnergy sources are substances or processes with concentrations of energy at a high enough potential to be feasibly encouraged to convert to lower energy forms under human control for human benefit. Except for nuclear fuels, tidal energy and geothermal energy, all terrestrial energy sources are solar. And ultimately, solar energy itself is nuclear.

Renewable energy - Wind energy.
As the sun heats up the Earth unevenly, winds are formed. The kinetic energy in the wind can be used to run wind turbines, some capable of producing 5 MW of power. The power output is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so such turbines generally require a wind in the range 5.5 m/s (20 km/h), and in practice relatively few land areas have significant prevailing winds. Lu ...

Nuclear power phase-out - Arguments for the phase-out.
Anti-nuclear politicians state environmental concerns with nuclear power as arguments for a phase-out. A main concern against the use of nuclear power for energy production is safety of the environment and people. Nuclear accidents in the past, including some at civilian power plants, have released radioactive contamination. The biggest, at Chernobyl, killed 41[68][69] and hurt many people and rendered large amounts of land unusable for the next few centuries ...

| | | | future energy development: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear energy policy - International use of nuclear energy (see also energy development, future energy development and renewable energy development)
Nuclear energy use has been growing steadily since the 1970s and the early 1980s. The growth slowed in the 1980s because of environmentalist opposition, high interest rates, and energy conservation prompted by the oil shock in 1973, and the energy crisis in 1979 and the accidents at Three Mile Island in 1979 and Chernobyl [1]. Several countries, especially European countries have abandoned the use of nuclear energy since then. [2]
In 2000, there were 438 commercial nuclear generat ...

| | | | future energy development: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear reactor - Method of operation Essentially all existing nuclear reactors are critical fission reactors that produce heat and neutrons through a nuclear fission chain reaction in which nuclei of nuclear fuel are impacted by free neutrons, causing them to break apart (fission). In turn, these fission events yield more free neutrons which carry on to induce more fission events. The resulting nuclear fragments (fission products) are released with large amounts of kinetic energy that converts rapidly into heat. For details, see the a ...

2000s - United States and Canada.
Rap music, especially of the post-gangsta and crunk varieties, reaches new heights of popularity, surpassing even the early 1990s in presence and begins to overtake rock and roll as the music of the youth. Popular and definitive artists include Eminem, Jay Z, Nelly, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, DMX, OutKast, and Kanye West.
Nu metal, an amalgam of most commercially successful genres of music, gains popularity.
Pop-punk, pioneered by late 90s band Blink 182, rises in ...

2000s - United States.
Fashion slowly becomes less grungy and more excessive as the wearing of flannel by people under 30 declines and acid-washed jeans and shaggy hair become again commonplace for boys and men. For girls and women hoop earrings, originally popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, return to style circa 2004.
Wearing baseball caps backwards peacefully falls out of style, in favor of wearing them sideways or forwards. Sunglasses begin to become less widespread as a fashion statement, un ...

| | | | future energy development: Encyclopedia II - 2000s - Criticisms of the decade The 2000s are so far not a highly regarded decade by most people in the world as many find the 1990s to have been a much more prosperous time and look fondly upon earlier decades such as the 1960s and 1980s.
While not a criticism per se as many people still love the 1990s, some others look down on the decade for upholding so many tired 1990s fads, fashions, and music genres. Quite interestly, many people who are fond of the 1990s dislike the 2000s because they perceive them as similar to the 1980s for various reasons, mostly relating to politics but also to the 1980s nostalgia wave tha ...

| | | | future energy development: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear reactor - History In 1972, French physicist Francis Perrin declared that nature had beaten humans to the punch by creating the world’s first nuclear reactors. Indeed nature had a two-billion-year head start. Sixteen natural fission reactors have been found in three different ore deposits at the Oklo mine in Gabon, West Africa. These are collectively known as the Oklo Fossil Reactors
Enrico Fermi and Leó Szilárd, while both were at the University of Chicago, were the first to build a nuclear pile and demonstrate a controlled chain reaction on December 2, 1942. In 1955 they shared US paten ...

Nuclear power phase-out - Belgium.
Belgium's nuclear phase-out legislation was agreed in July 1999 by the Flemish Liberals and Democrats-led Government including AGALEV (now Groen!), the Belgian Greens party. The phase-out law calls for each of Belgium's seven reactors to close after 40 years of operation with no new reactors built subsequently. When the law was being passed, it was speculated ...
