Fossil fuel

My second critical response essay is on the reading Getting Fossil Fuels Off the Plate by Michael Bomford. This reading is about how food is grown, processed, and transported around the world and how much energy it takes to get food from its origin to your plate. Our aptitude to obtain food with ease is our most treasured resource, but regrettably our present structures of food production, especially agriculture, are causative to the failing strength of the world’s air and water, while…

Currently the main source of energy used in the United States is Fossil Fuels. Our overdependence on Fossil Fuels has lead to some negative changes in the Earth’s climate and physical form. Lucky, there have been new advances in technology over the past century. Various forms of renewable energy have been discovered and tested by scientist and over the past decade have become more well known to the public. The development of of these renewable energy sources give us the opportunity to change the…

Tech Assignment – Fossil Fuels 1. Describe in detail what fossil fuels are and how they are formed - Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are also the simplest form of organic compounds. These hydrocarbons include coal, crude oil and natural gas and they originate from pre existing organisms. Oil and gas are generally formed from the remains of marine organism whilst coal is formed from the remains of vegetation on land, usually in swampy or…

Alternative fuels should be used more than fossil fuels such as solar power,electric cars, and windmills are much more efficient than fossil fuels.They do not produce CO2 into the air,unlike fossil fuels they put our environment into harm's way, and they do not help stop CO2 emission.Electric cars are a good example as an alternative fuel they don’t waste gas or don’t have exhaust which is good because they don’t produce CO2 into the air. For example the electric car company tesla,they also…

As noted in the book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein, 87 percent of energy used by humans today is from fossil fuels alone. That’s 94 million barrels, or over 675 million tons of oil burned up each day. Furthermore, this only accounts for 40 percent of the energy consumed each individual day! Coal and natural gas make…

Replace Fossil Fuels? Climate change and increasing levels of greenhouse gases have become an ever growing problem in the world today. There are many effects of climate change that have been documented from the latter part of the twentieth century until now. This significant change is due to the introduction of industrialization in society and how it has changed the equilibrium of the atmosphere by drastically increasing levels of CO2, a gas emitted from burning fossil fuels. We depend on fossil…

source in this world. This is due to its variety kind of usage that will not only contribute to people but also towards any country that uses this source. For now, fossil fuel is widely being used as the primary oil in a lot of sectors such as transportation, production and manufacturing. As for that, we can conclude that fossil fuel is very important towards enhancing the growth of economy but with all of the advantages, there are also disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages are increasing…

of the fossil fuel. There are way too many deadly side effects of using fossil fuels especially at the rate we use them today. Some are terrible for our environment, economy, and society. The effects that fossil fuels are having on the environment are becoming more and more irreversible, soon there will be nothing that we can do to fix our mistakes. The change to renewable sources of energy will prevent further damage and be more beneficial for the environment, as well as the economy. Fossil…

ferment it, then becomes cellulosic ethanol which can be used to fuel automobiles. In this research paper I will be discussing switchgrass ethanol and why this interesting plant should be used as an alternative fuel source to using nonrenewable fossil fuels. Through the three chosen points I plan to argue the grass’s…

What would you rather have clean renewable energy that does cause pollution or would you want energy that is not renewable and causes a lot of pollution and makes harmful environments? I believe that Geothermal energy is better than fossil fuels because it cost less, environmentally friendly, and can be accessed anywhere in the United States, also can produce almost the same amount of energy as most coals mines can. Geothermal Energy plants cost less over time they can pay off their debt because…
