Coal dust

Imagine yourself in a world where your children are starving in your household. The breathless actions that you, as a parent, would do in order to prevent that child from starving would be meaningless. How? Well, for obvious reasons, there isn’t any food in neither your pantry nor the local grocery store. Not even in Walmart. You’re completely out of supplies, and find yourself useless as a parent. Your children are still grasping onto you for food and you have nothing. Is that the world you…

rising of sea level. The higher temperatures cause the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica to melt causing sea level to rise several feet. Providing examples of where our energy comes from and how much we use Fox argues we burn too many fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.). In result, there is an overabundance of carbon dioxide in our environment, causing global warming. He backs up his information using graphs to show the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment and changing…

Every fossil fuel, coal, oil and gas is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, oxidizing these atoms releases their heat energy into the atmosphere. Natural gases have the highest hydrogen per carbon index, meaning it is a very low carbon intensive fuel. Coal is just the opposite, this means that burning these fuels releases CO2 into the air, trapping heat from the surface therefor warming the planet. A carbon dioxide tax means that users of fossil fuels will pay for the environmental damage…

(2)Coal has been the main energy source for America, but has several weaknesses. For example, coal has a high emission of greenhouse gases. These gases contributes to global warming and regional air quality. Coal burning is not environmentally safe. (3)Fracking has brought natural gases as a source of energy, and natural gases are not as destructive as coal. Natural gas is a viable alternative to coal. (4)“…natural gas produces only somewhere between…

total energy consumption from different countries will vary in a variety of different ways. Many of the fuels that are used around the world are emitting mass amounts of carbon dioxide into the air and the environment. Fossil fuels include gasoline, coal, oil, natural gas and diesel fuel. When it comes to the United States, the primary sources of emissions are burning fossil fuels for heat, transportation, and electricity. The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States…

One of the most important issues today for the left is climate change, rampant disregard for the environment will leave the world in shambles. There are a few current issues for the environment as well, like whether to allow fracking and the keystone pipeline. While most Republicans still deny it is a thing the Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, have both put forth their own plans to combat its effects. Hillary’s plan mainly involves solar power plants providing energy,…

One definition of a “crucible” is a container utilized to heat and melt metals at extreme temperatures. This process divides the more valuable metals from the less valuable ones. In Arthur Miller’s infamous novel, The Crucible, metals are not being tested, but people. He sets the scene in Salem, Massachusetts, an isolated and puritanical community where the citizens’ interest in other people’s actions, an opportunity for vengeance, and strict laws causes tension in society. The court officials…

currently still more expensive than fossil fuel (Esmundo & Schilling, 2009, p. 1771). Understanding the economic approach makes good sense because energy is in a financial market and in the end alternate energy must be able to compete with petroleum, coal, and natural gas before it will gain any real traction. It is noteworthy that the analysis conducted by Esmundo & Schilling revealed that research and development investment data has reached the limit of…

Combustible energy- Combustible energy is a natural form of energy that has been formed and is continuing to be made over millions of years from organic matter. These are generally in the form of fossil fuels and come in 5 main forms: Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas, LPG (liquified petroleum gas and crude oil. The method that is used to extract usable energy from combustible energy is by putting it through a fossil fuel power station. In these power plants, fuels are burnt to produce steam which…

Electrical trains transport systems are the most widely used forms of transport especially in major cities all over the world (Mraz, 2011). They are more efficient and enable transportation of a big number of passengers at once. This research focuses on electric trains that use the 25Kv AC railway electrification system. The current state-of-the-art electric train systems High-speed (HS) train technology is the current state-of-the-art in electric train transport systems. High-speed trains are…
