effects on the environment and people. Here’s a “fun,” fact; each fracking job uses between one to eight million gallons of water and over forty thousand gallons of chemicals (Source 2). Imagine the effects that this can do to you and your loved ones. Hydraulic Fracturing, is a common method of extracting natural gas that was developed in the 1940’s. Each Fracking site requires an average of 400 tanker trucks to carry water and supplies to and from the…

However, the Yukoner 's are not happy with the decision the government has made about hydraulic fracturing because it can cause many problems to the community. Citizens from the area are discussing the consequences of this process due to fracking with the government. According to the Newsweek article Texas Governer Greg Abbott passesd a law…

France to assert itself as the “rightful center of a new European empire,” (page 60). The canal’s advanced hydraulic engineering had deep Roman roots and was inspired by classical imagery (page 11). Engineers and the state alike were careful to ensure a plethora of classical symbolism was present in all ongoing engineering projects. But the vision of “New Rome” did not only apply to hydraulics and engineering, but many other schools of thought describing the relationship between man and nature.…

A marine environmental problem today is hydraulic fracturing. This is a process that is used to release natural gases. This happens by drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure to fracture shale rocks, which in turn lets out the natural gas. One of the major problems with this is when the fracking fluid, contains over six hundred different chemicals. Chemicals such as, Mercury, formaldehyde and lead to name a few. In the America today there are some 500,000 gas wells, but…

the affects it has on human health. There is also those that argue that by constantly being dependent on foreign countries, puts this country at risk in parts of the world that we would not need to be in if we produced our own energy. Future of Hydraulic Fracking in Texas…

sadly, is an expensive alternative and only 14% of the energy the US consumes is renewable. What if there was a way to gain access to more fossil fuels to give the world more time to adapt to its new circumstances? There actually is and it is called hydraulic fracturing, otherwise known as fracking. The concept of fracking is quite simple. Rocks such as shale which are about 2.000 feet underneath us contain natural gasse. To get to them, a horizontal well-like construction is built to reach…

The topic issue of the article is the use of hand-pumps for the distribution of water in sub-Saharan Africa; while this is just one of many methods of supplying water it is one of the most important to those in developing and rural areas. It’s pointed out that the hand-pump is one of the cleanest, easiest, cheapest, and most reliable (year round operation) sources of water for sub-Saharan Africa. Open wells are more vulnerable to contamination and motorized pumps and piped schemes are more…

There is a concern in today’s society of the negative environmental impact humans play in the world. Concerns of being more “green” are looked at more today than ever before. Harmful emissions from vehicles, drilling for oil and gas, and hydraulic fracking are just some of the ways humans are harming the environment. How much punishment can Mother Nature take? How long until there are irreversible effects to the environment? What if there were no harmful emissions put out by vehicles? What would…

It is said by Lynn Zott that Fossil fuel emissions are the leading source of climate-altering greenhouse gases from human activity. Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is a process that the oil and gas industry uses to extract natural gas and oil from shale rock formations buried deep within the Earth. On a global scale, drilling and fracking result in significant greenhouse gas emissions…

The Wheel Dolly Using Wheel Dollies for Car Restoration Projects Vendors sell wheel dollies at car shows, swap meets and you see them in the back of automotive publications. Their manufacturers claim these units will make moving a vehicle around the shop quick and simple. They even go as far to say that you can move an automobile by yourself in any direction with ease. As someone with a [Pontiac Trans Am restoration project] waiting in the wings and a [British built sports car] on deck,…
