Fossil fuel

why would someone spend one hundred and eleven million dollars on the recycling industry one may ask, the answer is simple... economy benefits. Recycling can lower capital cost, make us use 80 to 90 percent less energy, lower our consumption of fossil fuels and could produce more products that benefit our overall economy. As for a negative aspect, recycling has none. According to the article, the recycling industry may have "a dirty little secret" ,"little" being just an understatement.…

The use of renewable energy can lessen the dependency on import of fossil fuel from other countries and stimulate the development of new and most efficient technologies; however, there is some disadvantages in unlimited sources. The installation and maintenance prices are higher than non-renewable. Eolic energy demand a large…

trapped heat that in return warm up the Earth’s atmosphere. (1). When the fossil fuels are burned they release pollutants,such as mercury and carbon dioxide, that can not only harm the Earth but people’s health. Mercury, a pollutant fossil fuels give off into the environment, can harm young children’s brains at an early age as well having dangerous outcomes for sick and elderly. The biggest result of burning of fossil fuels are the pollutants that harm the Earth’s environment. Some repercussions…

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years. The increase in carbon dioxide was caused by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, to create electricity and to fuel cars. If coal burning continues at this current rate, the world will continue to heat up, leading to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and more severe air pollution. One major solution to global warming is alternative energy sources, more specifically solar panels. According to the…

fumes, and costs less money. Battery powered cars are the solution to this problem. Battery powered cars are a safe, non polluting alternative to regular vehicles that burn fossil fuels. Replacing gasoline cars with these non polluting battery powered cars would cut down on air pollution, save money, and would save fossil fuels. Battery power is safer for the environment than gasoline cars that are terrible for the environment. Battery powered cars don’t pollute the air with toxic gases, since…

combustion of fossil fuels. Now what does combustion has to do with the extinction of these animals? Let’s start with the United States. For the year of 2014, the energy consumption of all the citizens of the United States was 4093 billion kilowatt-hours. The citizens of United States, are among the top consumers of electricity. To fulfill such a high demand of electricity, the government of United States has…

The world is at a point in its history when it realizes it’s time for a change. That change being a move away from fossil fuels towards cleaner, renewable sources of energy. Many companies are creating ways the average individual can contribute to a cleaner future. Whether it’s by the creation of hybrid and electric cars or allowing people to install solar panels on their roofs and wind turbines in their backyards. However, these new sources of energy are far from perfect and will require years…

rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this dilemma is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels, and the waste gases produced in this process contains sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which combine with atmospheric water to form harmful acids. Acid rain does not have a direct effect on…

Fossil fuels is reliable and low in cost, opposed to the unreliable wind and solar energy sources. They are also produce a large amount of energy, all types of machinery, vehicles and devices depend on fossil fuels. The problem with fossil fuels, is that they contribute to global warming, due to their large amounts of carbon. The health effects of our human population is…

billion in 2015 (McLamb). Much of the economic progress that we, as a people have made since those times, such as a higher standard of living, more accessible education, a larger workforce/population, and more can be attributed to the exploitation of fossil fuels and other forms of unsustainable, non-renewable,…
