Oil is a very important part in our live. But some people don't even acknowledge this. People want more and more oil. Canadians uses twice as much oil then ever. In 1980 people use nearly 1.8 million gallons but now they use nearly 3 million gallons. This is big. Canadians can be affected by this. People are demanding more oil some people are making pipe line this is a huge problem. This can spring a leak and the oil will go into your drinking water and can give you cancer. This is why I am on…

The United States depends on a finite resource: fossil fuels. Easily accessible deposits of fossil fuels are dwindling, prompting stakeholders on both sides of the aisle to innovate and present options that either prolong the usage of our current energy sources, or harness renewable resources to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. Firmly backed by the President of the United States and top research institutions, solar energy, specifically converting light energy into liquid fuels, warrants…

The model of decision making represented in the case of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is the nonrational model. When the Deepwater Horizon oil rig starting showing behavioral signs of abnormalities, there were no steps in place on how to deal with the situation. When the rig displayed unexpected pressure, arguments among the workers broke out on how to handle the situation. The fact that the two companies were too busy arguing about what was happening, common protocols were not followed.…

Before the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 the U.S. had no liability on oil spills. The problem was still reoccurring even though over 10,000 oil spills were occurring every year around the country. It wasn’t until the major Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska that it was shown that there was no protocol or organization to immediately and effectively clean up the large spill. In the Conference report for the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, it is stated that there was a great increase on the liability of oil…

In now a day’s the global demand for the fossil fuels are rapidly increasing due to the high prices remains same in the gasoline. These all increase the concerns about the climate changes and alternatively increase in the oil based industry to prepare for the alternate biofuels. As we know the biofuels are the potential revenue source and we can control the climate change, weather conditions by using the replacement of gasoline in motor vehicles. Now people are using the corn based ethanol as…

decision-making biases that occurred with BP and Transocean one must begin to understand the magnitude of control BP had over the Transocean rig. Petroleum (BP), is a British multinational oil and gas company headquartered in London, England. It is a multi-billion company providing over 16,000 jobs in the United States. BP offers exploration for natural gas (BP, n.d.). The United States provides for nearly one-third of BP’s worldwide business interests. Transocean, the world's largest offshore…

Beginning in July of 2016 and continuing on to the present day, protesters have been actively camped out near Cannon Ball, North Dakota; protesting as, or in solidarity with, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North and South Dakota. Calling themselves “Water Protectors”, they are actively protesting a 1,172-mile long oil pipeline being built by a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners named Dakota Access (Time 1). The pipeline is proposed to run diagonally from Stanley, North Dakota all the way…

October of 1973: Energy crisis begins. This specific energy crisis was actually an oil crisis when members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries declared an oil embargo. The embargo was directed towards nations who were believed to support Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The importance of the oil embargo was that after it happened oil price remained high. Also, environmentalism gained huge attention during the time of the oil embargo. The oil embargo was eventually…

An advantage of growing corn for use in ethanol production is that corn is a readily available crop in the United States, and there would no longer be a need to import materials to produce fuel. This would also benefit the agriculture industry by providing more jobs to corn planters. Going this route also would lessen the dependence on the Middle East and other countries for oil and fuel. Growing corn for use in ethanol production would also be a more energy efficient way, because there would be…

to 10% reduction on the number of flights and to convert oil-fired power plants to coal. Various other acts of legislation during the 1970s sought to redefine America’s relationship to fossil fuels and other sources of energy, from the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act (passed by Congress in November 1973, at the height of the oil panic) to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 and…
