world. However, hydraulic fracturing for natural gas poses the greatest current threat because its potential for environmental and human damage is vast and its management is fairly unregulated. Although hydraulic fracturing, often shortened to fracking, has been around since its first…

Free Trade is a Free Pass to Oppose Climate Control Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything Capitalism vs The Climate argues that in order to begin to solve the issue of climate change we must abandon the free market system American democracy is based upon. Klein states, “We have not done the things that are necessary to lower emissions because those things fundamentally conflict with deregulated capitalism” (Klein 18). Here, I will be focusing on the claim made by Naomi Klein that free market…

Today humans gather most of their energy from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels impact our environment. These impacts include global warming as mentioned above, air quality deterioration, oil spills, and acid rain. As a result of the excessive use of these resources, it 's predicted that they will be depleted within…

hydrogen fuel, transportation of hydrogen to the refueling stations is a major challenge, but with the recent comprehensive research by NREI, transporting energy to the stations is made possible by the mixture of both hydrogen and natural gas in the natural gas pipelines, and this comes with a low mixing rates of 3% to 5%. And due to this mixture, the emission of CO2 is drastically reduced. Furthermore, a case study regarding the transition to 100% renewable energy using hydrogen is considered.…

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…
