Other methods of acquiring energy like burning coal, natural gas, or petroleum create a substantial amount of smog, acid rain, and toxic air pollution. The continuous burning of these fossil fuels is leading the earth into an accelerated global warming cycle and pushing many species into extinction along with us if we are not careful. A large coal-burning plant on average every year produces 11 million tons of carbon dioxide while using 3 million tons of coal. Not only do these power plants…

events and personas with a comical slant. ‘Proving That is Easy to Produce Clean Coal’ was a political cartoon by the authors affiliated with Inkcinct. This cartoon was published in The Australian on the 2nd of February 2017. It was used against the Turnbull Government when the Liberal – National Coalition announced that it would be easy to produce clean coal while having a beneficial profit to loss ratio.

Though effectiveness and availability for desalination technology has been highly evaluated, why do some people oppose it? There are two objections against desalination technology. First, the process of desalinating seawater uses a lot of fossil fuel energy, so the cost management becomes very expensive, and it also increases greenhouse gas emissions. However, using renewable energy, which can be classified as solar, wind, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower, has the potential for…

total of 283 million tons of coal were mined, providing about 64% of the state’s electrical production (Reese and Loughlin, 61).” Mining has caused severe environmental impacts ranging from the toxic chemicals seeping into the watershed, the altering of landscapes, and large amounts of waste (Reese and Loughlin, 61). New laws have been developed in order to reverse the negative trends from mining, which include the following: Abandoned Mine Land law, Open Cut Land Reclamation Act, Surface Mining…

Coal is one of the primary energy sources in the United States. The US Energy Information Agency reported in 2009 that coal counts for 23% of the total energy use in the US. However coals is a finite resource,harmful to the environment and also affects human lives. Scientists predict that supply of coal will deplete in a century and the use of coal is harmful to the environment in that the mining of coal degrades land, it pollutes air, causes heating of lakes and rivers, and causes health issues…

that it will retire eight coal-fired electric generating units in Michigan by 2023 in which is 25% of the total electricity produced by the company in 2015. Nearly 18GW of electric generating capacity were retired in 2015, and more than 80% of that was coal-fired. Coal, however, holds a 26% share of the U.S. power capacity, and generation is expected to increase in 2017. With the recent change in government officials, President Trump is leaning towards helping coal by adding stability and…

to use coal. But, others don’t think the same because the rocks are natural and they don’t think they should be messed with. Now in some scenarios it is bad, but overall I think it's a great concept with not as much pollution to the world. My factual evidence is basically it comparing to coal. Now coal is extremely dangerous because burning coal causes smog, soot, and acid rain. Burning…

Imagine a community where children are seen picking shrimp and cotton in fields. Their entire bodies are covered with bruises and scratches from working. Trying to fight back tears, their eyes flutter trying to stay open and their faces ache with excruciating pain. These children are working for pay as low as a few cents a day and only a few hours of sleep, if any. This is the world of child labor. In the past, children involved in child labor often died because of the working conditions, which…

From the early 1900s, Zonolite vermiculate mine was a primary worldwide that produce 80 percent of vermiculite production. However, the toxicity that was not clarified from government and mining fill to the miners were slowly killing in the town, Libby. Based on the article, A Town Left to Die, written by Andrew Schneider, it depicted how people suffer from the toxins in the air, asbestos, which came from the vermiculate mining. Agent What agent was responsible for the illness in the Libby…
