Routine Maintenance Gone Wrong “It was very, very hard for me. I saw my hand come off - I could see my hand on the ground and other parts all over the place.” German aircraft engineer, Hendrik Donkers Tire charging is a routine task in aircraft maintenance. However, if proper precaution is not observed, it can cause severe injury and even death. We will review two case studies where this routine task had gone wrong. We will discuss the possible causes of the errors and how we can prevent a…

FrackNation is a documentary produced by Phelim McAleer. Phelim aims to address what the filmmakers say is the wrong information about the process of hydraulic fracturing when drilling for oil in the ground, commonly called fracking. The film looks at many different ways that fracking for natural gas, oil, and other minerals in the ground occurs and tries to address the concerns surrounding the process that were said to be happening in the anti-fracking film Gasland. Gasland was made by Josh Fox…

Case Analysis Shubham Sharma Royal Roads University INTRODUCTION When electricity is taken into consideration, we in our daily life waste a lot of electricity. We forget to switch off the electrical appliances or remove it from the plug. The same problem is on RRU campus. There is a lot of electrical wastage by keeping the lights in classroom, computers in the lab always on, even if not in use or simply ignoring the fact of turning off the appliance resulting in the wastage…

Hydraulic Fracturing, also known as fracking, has been debated as being an irresponsible technique for oil and natural gas recovery from shale beds in the earth. Some environmentalists have made claims that hydraulic fracturing practices employed by oil and gas drilling companies have caused ground water contamination, leakage of methane gas into the atmosphere, and even claims that fracking can increase the chance of an earthquake taking place (Loki 8). An industry so large as oil and gas that…

imposing a carbon tax. A carbon tax or also known as a CO2 tax is a fee placed on those who use fossil fuels and emit carbon into the atmosphere. It is essentially a form of pricing the amount carbon being used. The burning or combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) release carbon into our atmosphere and contribute to…

However, nuclear power is a clean energy, especially in competition with its competitors: oil, coal and natural gas. Unlike coal, oil and gas, nuclear power production does not release any air pollutants. Gas and oil produce large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) which has known detrimental effects on the environment. Large influxes of CO2 usher in the greenhouse…

why society should phase out usage of fossil fuels, especially coal, as quickly as possible in order to prevent environmental and public health harms. In the second half, he focuses on the benefits of renewable forms of energy, such as solar and hydropower, while also discussing their drawbacks, especially in regard to hydropower. Overall, Brown’s arguments in…

They are also responsible for the Carbon emissions and other hazardous gasses come from burning fossil fuels, however, natural gasses burn cleaner than other fossil fuels like coal and oil. Supporters of fracking conclude that it will not only supply electricity and it is not only abundantly available it is a better alternative to fossil fuels and will produce far fewer carbon emissions. Natural gasses are regarded as ‘bridge…

that are more efficient, these companies will continue burning coal or oil. As a result, the drive for coal will support destructive mining operations across the country that turns majestic landscapes into vast…

are cons. One pro is that there is low pollution. Greenhouse gases have decreased by almost half because of the nuclear power because nuclear power has a lot fewer greenhouse emissions and nuclear power plants don’t emit any greenhouse gases unlike coal and natural gas. Another pro is that there is low operating costs and if is reliable. Nuclear power produces inexpensive electricity, has the cheapest operating cost, and the normal life of nuclear reactor is from 40-60 years depending how often…
