The Dakota Access is a pipeline that will carry 7.4 billion barrels of oil a day to be used from North Dakota to Illinois. The pipe will run under 22 bodies of water, and one of them is Lake Oahu in South Dakota.

The Dakota Access will provide us oil in places where we need it, but it could also damage historical and…

work, and owning more than one car per household. During the 1950’s alone, oil consumption by Americans rose over fifty percent (Verrastro and Caruso). Moving into the 1970’s, crude oil production was big, but the demand was even larger. Following the start of the Yom Kippur war in the Middle East, many Middle Eastern countries declared an embargo on the United States, cutting all crude oil exports. During this embargo, oil prices soared as foreign production was slashed, and many gas stations…

If you want to avoid a catastrophic climate change within the future of your existence, then the conversion of natural gas to liquid gas is not the answer for the future that you want for the America of tomorrow. So far, LNG plants seem to be the energy source that will bring a solution to the global warming disasters that fossil fuels have caused to the ozone layer, but the process of liquefying natural gas to an energy source is an intensive process. Brownsville is a city where it gets most of…

In the United States we have a large population of people and a high demand for resources to fuel our constant need for energy. It would seem logical with having such technological advancements in our country we would have found a way to reduce the amount of natural resources needed to survive, as well as our carbon dioxide output. Currently the consumption and production of taste materials exceed the necessary amount of land or sea available to absorb the CO2 we are putting out. The required…

extracting shale oil has always been a challenge for the producers.

Production costs vary depending on the oil wells location, ranging from $ 23 to $ 60 and the average is estimated at $ 36. The difference is due to the quality of the rock, the depth of the well, and the cost of transportation, so the shale oil…

While the passage use some reasons to approve the efficiency of it, the lecturer mentions to different aspects of it to reject it. For one, the passage states that fracking will affect on the increase in production that results in decline of natural gas price and similarly increases the jobs appertunities. Altough at first glance it looks sensible, the lecturer…
