Beatriz Kaspin ENG 102 – 11006 Jun 8, 2015 Hydraulic Fracturing essay Hydraulic Fracturing Because of recent technological advances in energy exploration, petroleum engineers have been able to implement a new and effective way to extract oil from the ground. The hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking is used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States with the purpose of extracting oil and natural gas (Freeman, 2014). Fracking is a drilling method, and consists of special…

Located in southwestern British Columbia, Lower Fraser Valley extends from Delta to Hope and has a marine climate with moderate temperatures, long frost-free period and high average rainfall. The Lower Fraser Valley with rich and high quality soils contributes up to 62% of BC’s gross farm receipts and the agriculture land price has sharp increased to $4,113/acre (BC Agriculture of Food & Climate Action Initiative, 2015; Climate Action Initiative, 2015). However, agriculture contributes to 3.3%…

Invisible Yet Deadly In 1938 German Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann discovered that when uranium is bombarded with neutrons, through the process known as fission, there are two lighter elements, neutrons, and a large amount of radiation produced. It was clear that these neutrons could in turn also cause fission, producing more neutrons and developing a chain reaction which might spread throughout all the uranium present (Rinkesh). This fission reaction showed a lot of potential,…

(Opening Paragraph - One) Energy is and has been in a high quality demand for all over the world. Since August (2015) the energy rate for Indiana has gone up 11.46% in the last seven months rapidly. It is a struggle to be able to find safe, cheap, and renewable resources in order to build around Southern Indiana. Using Geothermal, Hydroelectric, and Nuclear Fission Energy would be a useful and affordable source of energy for a town similar to Scottsburg because all of theses resources have a…

“No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change” (Obama). Since the 1750’s Industrial Revolution, human activity has contributed substantially to the noxious warming of Earth’s atmosphere; the United States’ extensive burning of fossil fuels and its subsequent emission of greenhouse gases have consumed an equivalent to 7% of our GDP in 2006 alone, and an estimated $9 trillion in pollution-induced illness in just the past 30 years (Environment America). An…

Does Your Furnace’s Oil Tank Have A Leak? What You Need To Know If you use oil to heat your home, there will be a tank either underground or above ground for storing the oil.
