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…

The United States has been dependent on non-renewable fuel sources for many years. Ever since the advent of the coal powered steam engines and the internal combustion engine, fuels such as coal and oil have governed the lives and economy of the majority of Americans. These non-renewable fuels release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which add to greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases lead to climate change and many other detrimental effects. According to the IPCC “Most of…

“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy to wait until oil and coal run out, before we tackle that” (Thomas Edison). Coal was developed in the mid 19 century, since then all used energy was renewable. The United States designed a graph of energy use up until 1990. It shows how gas, oil, and natural gas had the same importance in 1900 as played by solar and wind in 2010. In 1873, experiments with solar energy began to happen because the concerns of running out of coal were brought up. During…

times, I believe that we have never seen an oil painter like Jenny Saville. To me, her work is something I could spend hours looking at. The way her paint blends but yet how it still stand out on its own. The way she paints is not going to painting to painting, she takes her time with each piece to make it the best that it can be.
