War has plagued Iraq for quite some time. Starting back in the 1980’s with the Iran and Iraq war, moving into the first Gulf War when Iraq invaded Kuwait, moving on to Operation Desert Fox, in which the US and the UK enacted a “bombing campaign” to eradicate the chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons programs in Iraq, and the ongoing civil unrest, as well as the reoccurring conflict with the U.S., the people of Iraq have been exposed to a great deal of war and conflict over the last forty…

20th century, Western oil companies were experiencing a time of enormous growth and prosperity. Exploration out into the Middle East had proven extremely successful, and oil was plentiful. As these companies saturated the markets, however, the price of oil along with the profits of major oil producing countries dropped dramatically, resulting in a feeling of bitterness. Consisting of mostly undeveloped arid lands at the time, these oil producers relied on moderately priced oil in order…

When you think of Florida you think of beaches. So does everyone else. If oil companies are allowed to drill offshore there will be oil spills. Now think of a tar covered beach littered with death animals with a smell that you don’t ever want to think about. Off-shore Florida must be protected from oil companies to persevere the eco-tourism industry, defend the environment and secure fishing for years to come. In particular, tourism must be sustained. One of the many reasons people from all…

Obama’s Spill on Green Energy Eleven lives were lost; wildlife was coated in the millions of gallons of thick, black oil that was suspended in the Gulf of Mexico; and the United States wanted answers. Almost 2 months after the BP oil spill on April 20, 2010, President Obama addressed the United States concerning the disaster, and the country eagerly awaited what their leader would say. Obama’s goal was to tactfully provide information and a solution, for the present and future. As a televised…

All plastic is oil. Most paints and all pesticides are made from oil. Everything from toothpaste to tooth brushes are made from oil and there are seven gallons of oil in every tire. There is absolutely nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the assembly built by fossil fuels…..nothing at all. Peak oil is probably now very easy to explain; much easier than it was a long time ago. People have felt what $147 a barrel of oil feels like. Essentially, peak oil is like a bell curve, if…

The oil spill affected many things, it took the lives of many…

Keystone XL Pipeline Proposal: A Step Backward A pipeline through our country to supply our need for crude oil is a backward concept, as we should be working toward a clean renewable energy source. Our current reliance on crude oil has us in a panic to find ways to obtain this crude oil with cheaper and easier methods. The Keystone XL Pipeline Plan will not be a cheap and easy way to obtain more fossil fuel and it will cause more damage to our environment and climate as well as harm our safety…
