Gas chamber

a process in which metal pipes are drilled miles deep into the ground. This method requires millions of gallons of water and chemicals which are injected into down the pipe thus causing rock layers called shale to break eventually releasing natural gas. Are…

energy that is currently being used is nonrenewable, which means that it will not replenish as quickly as it is being consumed. An example of a nonrenewable resource currently being used is coal and natural gas. Therefore, solar energy is a more efficient form of energy, than coal and natural gas since, solar energy is cheaper, potential issues that may arise will have easier solutions, and it will limit the amount of coal and…

The impact of human activity, which involves, but not limited to the burning of fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, the overuse of natural resources in its present time, and the destruction of the ecological earth balance. We keep modifying the earth in different ways; consciously or subconsciously destroying our environment. Environmentalists are constantly warning us of the danger some of our activities have on our environment. The Inter-Government Panel for…

determine if this will help the cow digestive system. The Denmark government and the company producing this grass, DLF, is hoping that this will reduce Denmark 's methane emission to only 10%. Right now agriculture accounts for 40% of Denmark 's greenhouse gas emissions. This new type of grass will not only reduce methane…

organizations put a waste to energy plant in our neighborhoods. Similarly, waste to energy plants can be a good thing for our environment as they produce small amounts of CO². Some of you may know that CO² is one of the main contributors of greenhouse gas which is responsible for climate change, this is especially true for the US as we are one of the biggest contributors of it, along with China. The US views greenhouse gases differently than many European countries. Example, I feel like The US…

investigate thoroughly the causes of those previous leaks. Moreover, the regulator told that the ONG employee did not do the required survey properly when responding to a customer-reported leak the day before the January 2nd explosion. The January 2nd gas leak and explosion in the Walnut Creek district near Rockwell Avenue destroyed one house and sent a man to the hospital with severe burns and the explosion destroyed about 50 houses. Thre utility’s own investigation following the explosion find…

industrialization. The molecular structure of methane causes it to trap 20 times more heat that carbon dioxide and methane remains in the atmosphere for about ten years. Dinitrogen oxide is commonly called nitrous oxide, most people recognize this as “laughing gas”. The major sources are from the extensive use of fertilizers, sewage treatment plants, and car exhaust. Dinitrogen oxide in the atmosphere has increased about 15% since industrialization. Dinitrogen oxide released in the atmosphere…

When discussing the topic of Global Warming many questions are thrown up in the air. There are some scientific uncertainties and political controversies that follow this topic. For starters, there are those that generalize the description of Global Warming as the Earth crumbling. On the other hand, there are others who are not frighten by the idea of Global Warming and do not believe there is anything to worry about. In addition, alternatives and responses to this issue are up for debate. There…

another oil-powered machine to drive it to a place where it’s processed, a place that uses electricity which comes from coal or natural gas. After the crop is processed, it’s then wrapped up it up in plastic, which is oil, and put into an oil-powered vehicle to transport it however many miles to a food distribution warehouse that uses electricity from coal or natural gas, and an oil-powered vehicle then drives it however many more miles to the supermarket and you drive your oil-powered vehicle…

The world has solely relied on fossil fuels to supply us energy. Alone petroleum, coal, natural gas, and oil makes up eighty-one percent of the United States of America’s energy. If the world does not push to use alternative energy, eventually completely switching to alternative energy, leaving fossil fuels in the past, we will never stop some of the environmental problems contributed with burning fossil fuels. Some of the harsh environmental problems are air pollution, water pollution, and oil…
