Coal, an addiction Global warming is no longer a new discovery in the scientific world. People either choose not or choose to believe in it. Countries around the world try to slow down global warming by trying to cut carbon emission. US, the biggest emitter of CO2 into the atmosphere have shown a sign to follow this trend. Many people look at coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, with doubt about the future. Should coal be banned first to cut carbon emission? Although, some people advocate for…

1) Petcoke is the nickname given for Petrolum Coke, a material that looks like coal and is a byproduct of refining the oil brought in from Canada. (Chicago Public Health) While no known illnesses of health effects are associated with Petcoke, they can cause breathing issues, which includes “coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.” (Chicago Public Health) Currently, the Illinois Environmental Protection Association Agency is investigating an open-air storage area along the Calumet River (EPA)…

writing to you to explain how coal is effecting our environment and give solutions to decrease our country’s carbon dioxide emission and coal-reliance. “Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels.” (Dowdey). Every person in the United States uses approximately 3.7 tons of coal each year. Coal accounts for 94 percent of our nation’s fossil energy reserves. (Fast Facts About Coal). That is a lot of coal being consumed and retrieved. Many dangers come with the recovery of coal. “Thousands of people…

production methods, they can be cheap yet inefficient or expensive and more efficient. However, fossil fuels are used because they are efficient and easy to acquire, but they affect the environment. Coal-Fired electricity production has been around since the Industrial Revolution, this means that coal-fired electricity that still makes up 61% of the electricity produced in Australia (Department of Industry and Science, 2015). Therefore, it makes complete sense that Australia should progress into…

Coal power is currently a major source for producing Australia’s electricity needs. This was stated by (Origin Energy, 2015), that recorded 73% of electricity is generated through coal power stations. With the current issues of global warming it is expected that Australia looks at alternative sources for the growing electricity needs. However, with current economic issues, coal is the cheapest energy source option. In order to move from coal fired power stations it is suggested, renewable…

When continued back to carrying coal, rumors spread that the scrooge had visited and met the grinches to tell them about the news that the children will never be able to receive presents ever again, laughing along with the grinches on a good job that they had done. Elves who received…

that include sulfur, eg the production of electrical energy from fossil fuels, oil or gas that contains sulfur. A few mineral ores also include sulfur, and sulfur dioxide, which is released when burnt. In addition, industrialized activities that uses coal as fuel contains sulfur and is vital sources [1]. Sulfur dioxide is released due to thermal power plants, as the consequence of fuel combustion. In the earlier period, power plant exhaust was a significant, but not the major, basis of sulfur…

Introduction Acid rain is a rain that contains a high concentration of pollutants, chiefly sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil .It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure, when the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, react with the water . The chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues.…
