Bituminous coal

Environmental Science Environmental Impact Statement By Byron Smith Actual Development “Hume Coal Mine “ In the Berrima area located in the NSW southern highlands there has been a proposed coal mine. This coal mine will consist of large stockpile near Berrima (town centre), train loading facilities, a train line and an underground mine. The Hume coal mine is too “extract 3.5 million tonnes of coal… in the next 19 years”. The public have protested about this proposed mine as locals fear…

Batteries could become the new revolution of our alternative fuel to our society. The first battery was created in 1800 with some copper wire and zinc and since then technology has advanced the battery ever since then. Batteries today can be used over and over again unlike before you could only use it once then you would throw it away (Mooney 2). Batteries are used everywhere and it may not seem like it but technology has advanced it to become small and miniscule so that they can fit into our…

Have you ever wondered how nuclear energy works? Nuclear energy is produced all over the U.S. Fusion and fission are two ways to make nuclear energy, and there are many reactors used today. Nuclear energy can be dangerous unless you are careful. Nuclear power is produced all over the U.S. The USA produces the most nuclear power in the world. They produced 798 billion kWh in 2014. They have about 100 power plants. Fusion is one way reactors make energy. Fusion is joining two uranium atoms…

Did you know that Coal is a very good energy and is the cheapest energy source? Coal is found in all states of Australia. It is used as most of Australia’s power. Coal is a black or brown rock. Coal is a sedimentary rock and is formed over many years. It is extracted in two different ways, open-cut mining and underground mining. It has many different advantages and disadvantages. Coal is a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting chiefly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in…

Nuclear commercial applications would be glowing watches, exit signs, glowing key chains, glowing compasses, rifle sights, and runway markers. Many of these are here today from Tritium illumination. Tritium was predicted in the 1920s by a very smart man named, Walter Russell. Later on, in 1934, Tritium was produced by Ernest Rutherford, who had companions in the production named Mark Oliphant and Paul Harteck. He also needed some help with being able to isolate Tritium, so he also needed help…

The Iran nuclear agreement has been debated in recent months as both good and bad. The good that is suppose to come from it, I believe, is minor and the derogatory results are immense. First of all, it puts some limits on Iran’s Nuclear Programs but allows them to continue to enrich uranium. The Iran agreement claims that it is a great victory that Iran would have to reduce their stockpile of uranium by 98 percent but they can sell this enriched uranium to their neighbors and receive natural…

Fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, and oil are currently the main source of energy in the United States. Although by burning these fossil fuels, we can power our cars, heaters and televisions, and other helpful things, extracting and burning these rare resources come at heavy cost to humans, the Earth and other living things. The current practices of using fossil fuels for energy are harming living organisms and the Earth. Animals are being killed from converting fossil fuels to energy.…

No, nuclear power should not be considered as a source of energy but, what is done is done. Nuclear power will be considered as a source of energy and nothing can turn back time. One of the reasons nuclear power absolutely should not be an option is because all things need to be experimented with, modified, changed, redone for something to work properly. At times those things you thought would work do not and those things fail horribly. After all the math done, you still don’t know what will…

Oil is usually found deep under ground, but the greater Los Angeles area up through the Santa Barbara area is one of a few places in the world where oil is not just close to the surface, it is on the surface, bubbling in cold pits of bitumen, also known as asphalt and tar. This asphaltum has been important to humans for as long as they have lived in the region. In the past it was primarily used to waterproof boats, water carriers, and cooking vessels or as an adhesive. Now, of course we use…
