20 Beach Renourishment Pros and Cons
Skip to contentBeach renourishment is a project which replaces sand (or other sediment) that is lost through erosion, longshore drift, or other reasons. By creating a wider beach with new sand, it becomes possible to prevent future damage to coastal structures. The new sand interacts with the waves in the surf zone to reduce the impact of very high tides, storm surges, and even tsunamis.The first beach renourishment project in the United States was completed at Coney Island in 1923. It is now used around the world as a way to protect shorelines because of the effectiveness of this...…Skip to contentBeach renourishment is a project which replaces sand (or other sediment) that is lost through erosion, longshore drift, or other reasons.

26 Significant Pros and Cons of Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Skip to contentHydrogen fuel cells are among the cleanest energy sources today, and they are increasingly used by many people to power up their vehicles. Actually, they now serve as an alternative fuel to automobile technology, converting hydrogen into electricity to charge the batteries. Other than those using hydrogen, there are other categories, including phosphoric acid (PACF), molten carbonate (MCFC), proton exchange membrane (PEM), alkaline fuel cells (AFC) and solid oxide cells (SOFC).With a focus on just hydrogen fuel cells, the technology certainly comes with many benefits....…Skip to contentHydrogen fuel cells are among the cleanest energy sources today, and they are increasingly used by many people to power up their vehicles.

14 Foremost Pros and Cons of the Green Revolution
Skip to contentMost farmers, these days, practice modern farming methods under Green Revolution, which is a movement pushed by the government as an alternative solution to traditional agriculture. Its main goal is to make planting and harvesting more effective and efficient, as well as to eliminate hunger all over the world. It originated from manufacturers in the US when they discovered that it is possible to create a fertilizer from petroleum that can be used on crops—the so-called petrochemical fertilizer.Under Green Revolution, machinery processes are being used in farming.

8 Central Pros and Cons of Algae Biofuel
Skip to contentThe growing need for alternative and renewable energy has spurred plenty of research into other sources than what the world is already using, one of which is algae. What are considered trash by some and food for certain marine species are believed to be a major source of fuel. After all, half of their weight is composed of lipid oil. Now all that needs to be done is to harvest, extract and convert them into a more suitable form of fuel.Use of algae as fuel was first explored in 1978 under President Jimmy Carter. During these times, gas prices were shooting to the roof and...…Skip to contentThe growing need for alternative and renewable energy has spurred plenty of research into other sources than what the world is already using, one of which is algae.

12 Chief Pros and Cons of Alternative Energy
Skip to contentOne of the hottest topics these days is alternative energy. With the ever growing population increase, energy demand is also increasing every day. Non-renewable energy sources are limited and not friendly to the environment, and their increase or decrease in production can have a direct impact on inflation. On the other hand, alternative power sources are sustainable, renewable, environmentally friendly and, not to mention, abundant. Unlike fossil fuels, they are not going to expire soon as they are constantly replenished.But like fossil fuels, alternative energy sources...…Skip to contentOne of the hottest topics these days is alternative energy.
