The Deadly Miscalculation Stated in an article about fracking, “Since 2005, more than 100,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled and fracked in the United States” (“Fracking”). About ten years ago, politicians and the EPA in the United States made a monumental decision to drastically reduce coal-fired power plants across the country. Over the next few years, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reduced significantly, causing the United States to conclude that global warming is solved.…

came to be. It was made so old products could be made anew (i.e. paper), and it also helped maintain up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually. Also more actions have been created to lessen the amount of greenhouse gases that were released into the atmosphere and air. “CFL lightbulbs were created to emit less heat, last 10 times longer than the standard light bulb, and they use two-thirds less energy”. Acid rain is also having things done in order to reduce the amount that falls, and to…

Assignment: The task at hand is to break down certain aspects of a propane ad by “Proudly Propane” and attempt to define and compare those aspects to assess the characteristics of a fuel like Propane. The ad claims that propane is a “Clean, reliable and efficient energy source” but does not offer to define or elaborate on these claims.

This paper reviews articles that report on research and studies of the effect of increased use of corn ethanol on our country and global warming in the United States. When first introduced the production of ethanol from corn was a very popular idea. This favored alternative was meant to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, bring about energy independence, to raise the income of farmers, and to produce more rural employment. Recently, however, corn ethanol has been the topic of heated debate on…
