Carbon Dioxide Emissions Set An Example
1,843 words... in their distribution. There should be a mandated Fossil Fuel Efficiency Standard that would be applied to every generator of electricity in the country. It would set a "nationwide allowance for the average fossil fuel used per unit of energy produced and would also include a schedule of cutting fossil allowances in half over the next twenty years" (213). Afterwards, each year the allowance for fossil fuel to be used would be less from the year before. The companies would be forced to increa...

At present most electricity is produced using non-renewable resources like coal but this cannot continue forever. The common characteristic of renewable energy resources is that they are never going to run out. Compared with non-renewable resources, renewable energy is difficult to use and more expensive at present. Not only could renewable resources solve future energy needs but the...

When the wildcatters got lucky, and struck oil, it would typically gush up the drill pipe, hence, a gusher. Because gushers are a safety hazard and environmental concern, oil companies today contain them. After discovering an oil field, it is the task of the oil company's engineers and technicians to get it out. Not ...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Renewable Energy Sources
1,623 wordsBy the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs, some 65 billion years ago. If we stay at the rate we our now (fossil fuel consumption / growth in population) then within the next two century the Earth's air might not be fit to breath. Many people in the world do not think that this is a major concern and that it is normal for the Earth's temperature to incr...

Clean Air Act Nitrogen Oxide
721 wordsUrban Environmental Science A human being breathes 16 times a minute, 960 times an hour, almost 8. 5 million times a year. With each breath, he or she inhales hundreds of airborne substances. The nature of these substances is partially formed by the human activity. For those who live in cities, many of those substances are pollutants that increases the risk of respiratory problems and cancer. Smog reduces lung capacity and decreases the body's ability to fight infection. Soot causes bronchitis, ...

Renewable Energy Sources Burning Of Fossil Fuels
994 wordsShifting Power Since the beginning of industry humans have been in search of fuel to power machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels, such as crude oil and coal, discovered beneath the Earth s surface were found to be an excellent source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. However, we are now realizing the problems that are created by using fossil fuels to generate energy. These problems are so great that they will force huma...

312 wordsDebate Topic: Fossil Fuels and Alternative Sources Most people in this world but especially in the U. S. think that fossil fuels are never ending. However, they are wrong and completely take them for granted. Therefore, if they do not try to use and find other sources for energy soon then fossil fuels will become extent. So I have taken it upon myself to look into other sources of energy and give my viewpoint about them. I looked into a couple alternative sources. First, technology and manufactu...

The air was thick with humidity and the sweat poured off him like the rain of a heavy spring downpour as he delivered his mid-day papers in his hometown of Seattle. Normally, he would not have thought twice about this kind of heat. Normally, it isn? t 90 degrees in April. This isn? t a far-fetched idea cooked up by a lone scientist pouring over minute data. This could be a reality. The...

Burning Fossil Fuels Natural Greenhouse Effect
3,312 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect, as defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earths atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. Even though this process occurs naturally and has kept the Earths temperature about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would otherwise be, current life on Earth could not be sustained with...

Fossil Fuels Global Warming
1,982 wordsThe Potential Markets Hydrogen ANALYSIS The Potential Markets For Non-Fossil Fuel Hydrogen? Hydrogen, most of it produced from fossil fuels, is already widely used in the chemicals industry, notably in the manufacture of fertilizers and petrochemicals. It would therefore be possible to substitute NFFH in this market. However, the total that could be absorbed by 2040 is unlikely to represent more than about 3 % of current total world energy demand. ? NFFH could be used to satisfy much of the dema...

Wind Turbines Wind Speeds
633 wordsWind is created Wind Wind Wind is created from the earths warm air rising and creating a vacuum that causes cooler air to replace it. This flow is constantly disturbed by the rotation of the earth and local atmospheric conditions. This rotating cycle results in what we call wind. When harnessed, using sails, mills, and modern wind turbines, wind can serve us a powerful and renewable energy source that may soon become very important to our modern lifestyles. Wind can be converted into mechanical ...
