letting the U.S. tap vast oil and natural gas reserves that previously were locked away in shale and other tight-rock formations. Up to ninety five percent of natural gas wells drilled in the next decade will require hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing also is being used to stimulate new production from older wells.…

setting with a zero carbon emission. In Section 5.2.2, I assume there is no gas-fired plant present and at least 50\% of the demand is supplied by my system, and the rest is satisfied by imports from the National Grid. This section includes three subsections, a fixed carbon price, a variable carbon price and a hard constraint on carbon emission. CO$_{2}$ is the main greenhouse gas and it is suspected to be the principle gas responsible for global warming and climate change. Different policies…

avoid a catastrophic climate change within the future of your existence, then the conversion of natural gas to liquid gas is not the answer for the future that you want for the America of tomorrow. So far, LNG plants seem to be the energy source that will bring a solution to the global warming disasters that fossil fuels have caused to the ozone layer, but the process of liquefying natural gas to an energy source is an intensive process. Brownsville is a city where it gets most of its profits…

continual heating will create problems for the existence of future generations. Jerald L. Schnoor and Thomas Gale Moore may disagree about the nature of the effects that will result from global warming, but these authors both agree that greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced for the collective good of our society both today and in the future. The article “Global Warming: A Consequence of Human Activities Rivaling Earth’s Biogeochemical Processes” by Jerald L. Schnoor appears in volume…

Not only does it hurt the environment but also the people and wildlife living in it. Fracking is short for Hydraulic Fracking. Fracking is drilling deep into the earth’s crust and injecting chemicals to collect oils and gas. Fracking is unnaturally creating cracks in shale rock and cause earthquakes. It is dangerous for people living in and around fracking sites. The ground water becomes contaminated and the air is polluted with disease and cancer causing chemicals. The negatives outweigh the…

found that the cores were too weak due to an engineering flaw when curing the concrete. Engineers in an effort to save time on the project moved to accelerate the curing process. In order to accelerate the process nitrogen gas was added to the concrete mixture. The nitrogen gas expedited the curing process however there was a cost the came with the accelerated curing. The cores produced using the accelerated process were found to be too weak to withstand certain pressure surges caused by the…

Solar is a renewable resource solar energy can help off-set fossil fuel use for heating and electricity; exploration camps and lodges, off-grid solar systems working with diesel or gas…

Change is one of the most feared and revered words in the English vocabulary. There are many people who embrace the alteration of their lifestyle in an effort to improve their economic or physical situation. Nevertheless, large portions of the population oppose change because of the fear of the unknown. The modification of one’s lifestyle can yield positive results by presenting new and exciting alternatives to what one is accustomed to but it can also have negative consequences. The citizens of…

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that was named after a Japanese City, it was called the Kyoto Protocol. It took only one year for members of the UNFCCC to decide that there needed to be stricter demands for reducing gas emissions (UNFCCC, 2014). This Protocol was designed to reduce the emissions of gases that contribute to global warming. Given that, there were 41 countries plus the European Union who agreed to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases by 5.2…

Perhaps the most vital thing to address is the difference between climate and weather, because so many people don 't know the difference. Weather is what happens on a short time scale--from day to day, while climate is more long term, and is the long term trend over hundreds to thousands of years. We are releasing tons of gases and dust particles into the earth 's atmosphere every day, and so the salient question becomes: What type of effect do these gases have on our atmosphere? Most climate…
