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.
Biomass is an industry term for getting energy by burning wood, and other organic matter. Burning biomass releases carbon emissions, around a quarter higher than burning coal, but has been classed as a renewable energy source in the EU and UN legal frameworks, because plants can be regrown. It has become popular among coal power stations, which switch from coal to biomass to comply with the law.
