Compressed natural gas

Do you have a leaky basement? Leaky basements are a sign that you have water problems. Water-related issues, such as standing water or pooling water around your home, can eventually damage your foundation and promote mold growth. When the water pressure rises, so does the risk of basement leaks. The soil around your basement becomes saturated after heavy rainfalls, causing stress to your basement walls. This increased pressure causes the basement walls to bow, lean or crack. Without proper…

not the solution for the future. Geothermal energy uses heat from the ground to generate electricity, but it takes up space and a lot of money to get in the ground six miles deep. Biomass energy is somewhat similar to fossil fuels because it is a natural source of fuel that is living or was living that is burnt to create energy. The issue is the pollutants and emissions created along with need for land to grow biomass…

5 Reasons Your Transmission Needs To Be Serviced While many drivers prefer an automatic transmission to take care of the gear shifting for them, it’s a vital part of your car that can potentially break down. These are 5 reasons why your car’s transmission could be having trouble. Not Enough Transmission Fluid One of the most common problems with a transmission is not having enough transmission fluid for it to operate properly. Low fluid can cause the transmission to slip, delay when the gears…

extract oil or gas comes with problems, such as poisoning air and drinking water which makes the people become sick. Rachel Ehrenberg states that “ Fracking… Poisons air and drinking water and make people sick.” The government should not allow a practice in which makes the soil near the sites of fracking to become poisonous and unable to sustain life because of the gas that seeps out as a byproduct of fracking as Rachel Ehrenberg states a “leakage of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that can…

The United States of America should ban the practice of fracking. Although fracking has decreased the cost of natural gas in the country and would even provide over 600,000 new jobs which would decrease the unemployment rate, it is still not save for the American people. Yes, there are so many arguments that could be made in order to allow Oil and gas industries to engage in fracking, but what benefits would this be to people when most people end up dead? According to the scientific journal,…

The first source was a bathtub faucet which was measured in a closed bathroom. It was measured about six inches from the faucet only getting 75.7dBA. The second source was an all metal toolbox closing. Measured six inches from the source, while it is only a quick increase at 90.1Dba, everyday exposure can be damaging. The next source was an acoustic guitar being strummed in my apartment. The meter was roughly one foot away on a table. This was under the minimum requirement to be considered…

under threat from natural gas development. They include the Upper Delaware, Susquehanna, Monongahela, and Hoback Rivers. A PNAS study found that drinking wells near the Marcellus Shale contained 17 times as much methane as those half a mile away. Part of the problem is that natural gas development enjoys exemptions from keystone environmental laws, such as the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Water Act. Earthquakes on the rise While it is widely suspected that natural gas fracking pollutes…

Coal seam gas (CSG), also known as coal bed methane (CBM), is a naturally occurring methane gas found in most coal seams. The extraction of CSG involves drilling wells into the coal seams and bringing water from the seams to the surface. This process reduces the pressure in the seams and allows the gas to be released from pores (Lacey and Lamont, 2014). The growing environmental and health risks associated with coal seam gas fracking production has the potential to generate considerable gas…

This article, though a few years old, gives a brief background over how oil is formed, where it is formed, and the importance of offshore drilling. The first point the articles makes is to deter from what once was believed that oil is formed from biodegrading dinosaurs to the fact oil comes from microscopic organisms at sea. Scientist estimate that each drop of sea water contain millions of life forms and after several millions of years these microorganisms get compacted deep into the…

The coal fired electric plant is used for to generate electricity and to produce coal . It’s used for electricity that we used today. In the U.S. we use about 50% of electricity. Even though the coal fired plant has a generation for electricity it has increased over 180%. The reason why this important because the electricity we it helps homes,businesses,vehicles and technology. That at the coal plant when they produce electricity & coal it has something to do with the air pollution from the…
