"If energy can't be destroyed, how can there be an energy crisis - we just need to develop some clever ways of recycling our energy," is the argument surrounding the first law of thermodynamics and energy laws when held in juxtaposition with our energy shortage. The law is commonly translated as"Energy is conserved in any process involving a thermodynamic system and its surroundings." This law further states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but merely changed into different forms.
With means such as ocean wave energy banks, wind powered energy, streams and dam powered energy, as well as basics that have yet to be perfected such as solar and nuclear power it is amazing we have yet to implement a solid bridge between the forms changed as energy is used or stored and our process of creating a useable product yet again. If we create our energy source from used energy, we would not be as reliant upon natural sources, which we once couldn't use until we developed a way to deplete most of these sources from the earth. The United States seems to refuse to invest in other more eco-friendly means, which would solve the problem involving our shortage of supply of energy from natural sources and our need to find an energy source in the future when fossil fuels and others are no longer around.
With a universe as vast as the one we all share, energy is constantly changing forms and our perspective on means of tapping into available sources of energy needs to mature as the facts are indisputable as to the availability of alternative energy; the efficiency in which we reuse the energy is what needs "refining".

A little about myself
So my name is Ryan Albers, I'm 20 years old, and I'm in my 3rd semester here at Sierra College. I am currently working as a server at Sushi Mon in Roseville, so I am only able to handle 14 units this semester with my work schedule. Im taking this bio class to meet my GED requirements for a lab science class. I look forward to seeing how I like the online/classroom hybrid, but I can already see the benefits of meeting at least once a week.
