Plato can be understood as idealistic and rationalistic, much like Pythagorus but much less mystical. He divides reality into two: On the one hand we have ontos, idea or ideal. This is ultimate reality, permanent, eternal, spiritual. On the other hand, thereâs phenomena, which is a manifestation of the ideal.
Biomass energy has little harmful effect on the environment. Biomass energy is usually electricity from a power station where the fuel used is wood or other vegetation, rather than fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Burning biomass does release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Clearly, biomass has a long way to go before it's widely accepted as a source of energy. Despite these challenges, there are many advantages to the growing use of biomass energy. One obvious advantage that biomass fuels have over other energy sources is that biomass is renewable: We can grow more plants, but nobody can make more oil. Another advantage is that some sources of biomass, like manure, sawdust, and landfill garbage, use a fuel source that would otherwise go to waste.
