The article "Businessman plans to burn 'body parts and organs' to create energy' by Victoria Ward has for objective to show a new way of creating energy by using a different process than incinerators. Waste would be exploited with a gasification process resulting in a synthetic gas generating thermal energy (combination of plastic and biomass). The main cause of the issue is to find a cleaner way of combustion for the environment when producing energy. The author points out that it is a better technology, with better quality fuel than the large incineration companies.

The article, “Why Renewable Energy Will Replace Fossil Fuels” written by Steve Cohen provides information on how consumption of fossil fuels is causing several damages to the planet and how the adoption of renewable energies would be a potable solution.

The goal of these polls is to convince people that there is a substitute for earth-damaging sources of energies such as natural gas, oil, coal, etc.
