It is estimated that the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill will have caused the loss of $8.7 billion in revenue and 22,000 jobs for the commercial fishing industry in the Gulf. (Natural Resources Defense Council, 2015) New methods of preventing oil spills and reducing their impact on…

•Background and aim Soil salinity is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit the crop productivity. A pot experiment was conducted with an aim to explore the ameliorative effects of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration against salinity stress in Brassica napus (L.) cv. Pactole. Methods Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in plastic pots and were exposed to ***** mM NaCl. Further, ***** days old plants were sprayed with sodium nitroprusside (SNP,…

growth. Gelb’s (1988) cross-country economic analysis of oil exporting countries (Algeria, Indonesia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Ecuador and Trinidad and Tobago) was one of the early studies on the negative connection between natural resources wealth and economic development. The studies revealed that windfalls from natural resources during the booms periods of 1974 – 1978 and 1979 – 1981 were harmful for economic development. Natural resource like oil windfalls are subject to upswings and downswings…

OPEC produce roughly 40% of the worlds oil, therefore if all the remaining producers were able they would massively increase supply and decrease OPEC market share, with a big enough response the price of oil would approach competitive allocation. OPEC must therefore take into account non-members when setting the price. Salant’s model argues that due to the presence of a competitive fringe the cartel must set the price lower than the monopoly price, reduce output and let the price rise rapidly.…

Our Earth was once green and full of nature. In a few centuries, technology and human development swiftly influenced our dependence on fossil fuels. Massive consumption of oil, coal, and gas drastically transformed our settlements into powerhouses for further progression. We now have electricity for lighting, gasoline for transportation, and coal for power sources. However, fossil fuels are being consumed at a rate faster than we can recover. The only possible key is to achieve a more balanced…
