Answering Questions from Hot, Flat, and Crowded
The achievement evolution of energy technology has resulted in the eruption of green energy ingenuity that attracts the attention of numerous world industrial powers. However, the implementation of green energy initiative is mired with various challenges as the world struggles to deal with vast levels of carbon emission. This paper relies on Thomas Friedman’s “Hot Flat and Crowded” to explain the complexities involved in the adoption of green energy ideology
- Benefits of ET meeting IT
The anticipated merging of Energy Technology (ET) and Information Technology (IT) will reduce the cost of service. This phenomenon would be achieved through the optimization of home and factory appliances with energy networks to achieve efficiency in production.
- The benefits of artificial intelligence in creating the goals of smart cards
Artificial intelligence will contribute to creating a smart grid through formulating a power source that supplies enough clean, sustainable, and affordable energy that can facilitate the creation of smart homes and smart cars.
- Examples where Friedman imagines that the future has occurred
Friedman gives an example of the conversion of scooters in china into electrical dependant power to achieve clean energy. Besides, the massive reduction of energy emission in china achieves the set clean power future standards.
- Why can we not regulate away our global climate changes problems but rather must innovate to create a solution?
Friedman argues that the extent of power dependency has overgrown the supply. The regulation of the environment is impossible, citing the high level of CO2 emissions. This scenario poses innovation as the only option in creating enough clean energy to meet the ever-growing demand.
- Obstacles to clean power success and the possible solution
The underlying problem is the low level of innovation and the overall lack of implementing changes. China sets the pace in implementing clean power use while the rest of the world lags.
- Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones.
This statement implies that revolution necessitates innovation in the creation of clean energy. The growth of clean power will require the invention and implementation of pure power.
- The events are influencing the formation of power safety taskforce by the ‘green hawk.’
The heightened need for innovation and applications of clean power that surrounded Dan Nolan necessitated formations of power safety Task Force
- The consequences of out greening al-Qaeda
Out greening, al-Qaeda led to a reduction in the cost of electricity in Iraq. The vulnerable electricity system stabilized through sufficient supply.
- The author’s perception of the uncertainty of fossil fuel.
The uncertainty of fossil fuel emanates from the constant fluctuations in the prices of coal, oil, and natural gas.
Chapter 15 Can Red china become Green China.
- Options that China has changed to become Green China.
The over-dependency on petroleum oil, leading to high carbon emission needs to be reconsidered if chine is to achieve the “green” status. The ever-growing industrialization raises power needs in China.
- Could the battle inhale end up with exhale?
Analytically this battle will lead to the accumulation of much carbon emitted in the Chinese companies and therefore requiring an urgent elimination method which ostensibly overwhelms the ability of China.
- The concept of “net-zero” building
The ideology of “net-zero” building refers to the construction of buildings that are self-sustaining in power needs. The buildings are designed to include solar exteriors or wind turbines that the supply in the buildings need for power.
- Pros and Cons of “China for Day” initiative
According to Friedman, the good thing with the US-China collaboration is that it will lead to an assemblage of resource to facilitate the Green Power initiative. However, this initiative will result in the accumulation of carbon elimination debt following increased carbon emission.
- Impediment of Green energy.
One of the impairments of implementing green energy is lacking enough resources to facilitate the process. According to Friedman, the huge accumulation of carbon emitted is overwhelming the financial potency of China and other countries to afford the effective implementation of Green energy.
- The plight of First Solar Inc
The settlement of First Solar Inc. in Germany was met with adverse legal complexities in securing complete licensure. The various environmental and legal policies almost overwhelmed the ability of the company to settle in Germany and implementing the green power initiative in the company.
- Speech of Severn Suzuki
The recommendation of Suzuki to pay to pay attention and to take personal initiative in implementing green power initiative. The personal contribution of all stakeholders will facilitate the efficiency of the project.
- Friedman liken green revolution to civil right revolution
Just as all human have the right to life, and the freedom to enjoy free nature, so does green revolution seek to achieve. The green revolution aims securing the existence of humanity in face of pollution.
