Bituminous coal

The world today is progressing technologically at an increasingly fast rate. Thus, people are needing to use a larger amount of energy. With most of the world’s energy coming from fossil fuels that are harmful to the environment. With global warming on the rise and fossil fuels diminishing; it has become imperative that this energy crisis needs to have a solution. The energy crisis has been causing much concern on how the future will be powered. With multiple different forms of energy in the…

When discussing the topic of Global Warming many questions are thrown up in the air. There are some scientific uncertainties and political controversies that follow this topic. For starters, there are those that generalize the description of Global Warming as the Earth crumbling. On the other hand, there are others who are not frighten by the idea of Global Warming and do not believe there is anything to worry about. In addition, alternatives and responses to this issue are up for debate. There…

Then you use another oil-powered machine to drive it to a place where it’s processed, a place that uses electricity which comes from coal or natural gas. After the crop is processed, it’s then wrapped up it up in plastic, which is oil, and put into an oil-powered vehicle to transport it however many miles to a food distribution warehouse that uses electricity from coal or natural gas, and an oil-powered vehicle then drives it however many more miles to the supermarket and you drive your…

Coal, oil, and natural gas are proven technologies, are much cheaper than any other energy source, and provide massive amounts of electricity. Due to the aforementioned consequences of relying on fossil fuels, however, it is time to find a new energy source…

On the 3rd November 2016 the Hazelwood Power Station, which produced brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, announced the entire plant would close at the end of March 2017. After supplying electricity to Victoria for over 50 years, the plant’s owners Engie argued that it was no longer economically viable to continue to run one of Australia’s most ‘dirty’ power plants, thus laying off almost 1,000 jobs. Engie states that the growing pressure for renewable energy was the main factor for the closure of…

miners. The mine is located near Huntington, Utah and a large source of jobs in the area is coal related. The event occurred because of dangerous mining practices and not taking caution after a similar incident occurred in March, which offered “clear ‘red flags’ indicating that the mine was unstable” (Urbina). From the conflict perspective we can see two groups, Murray Energy Corporation (bourgeoisie) and the coal miners (proletariat). In order to evaluate how the bourgeoisie exploited the…

of water available nearby mine site for aquatic ecosystems or other industrial water uses. Energy: mining uses up a lot of energy. For example fuel is used by trucks, electricity is used to grind minerals and metals such as copper or aluminum, and coal is used to make steel. Energy used during mining processes are vital for environments conditions as it has impacts and produces greenhouse gasses and environmental contamination (AMD). The reduction of energy used will decrease greenhouse gas…

Reducing the coal consumption for the energy plants in favor of alternative renewable energy would decrease the harmful effects of the energy producing material. Emissions from coal burning power plants which provides energy for millions, but also assists the global warming problem this itself is enough to look for other alternatives energy. Water uses and pollution provides another negative outcome of the coal mining industry, which uses excess of water to in the production process. Through the…

Crude oil is a complex mixture of various organic compounds, comprising of different hydrocarbons and heteroatomic compounds (Simanzhenkov and Idem, 2003). In addition to carbon and hydrogen, petroleum might contain sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen, and metals such as nickel, vanadium, iron, and copper. Crude oil physical and chemical compositions vary with location, depth and age (Rahimi and Gentzis, 2006). Physical composition of crude oil varies from black liquids of high viscosity to…

In my point of view nuclear power plants are bad.But there are pros about them and i am going to tell you some of them.One of them is low air pollution it has low air pollution because most the pollutants are going into water because of cooling the nuclear reactor.Another one is low operating cost.It has a low operating cost because the things used are natural and are from dead animals in the environment. Another pro is a reliability to people and their homes.People need this…
