Why i think trucks Are too expensive? Personally i think trucks are too expensive because some of them are 55,000 dollars or more and not everybody has that kind of money but any ways i think they should lower down the prices because then once you spend that kind of money on the truck some of the payments are like 500 dollars a month. then you're just losing a lot of money then you have problems then because you're going to run out of money and you're not going to have that much…

are flammable or not combustible. It causes kerosene to flare-up more than additional accelerants. Paint thinner is another common household product used to strip paint from surfaces. Paint thinner is an unblemished that’s flammable fluid with a petroleum like aroma. Turpentine is mostly with the drying agent for paint thinner besides it’s a mutual house produce they are frequently establish in garages. After unpredictable fumes burn beyond a combustible otherwise flammable liquid accelerant…

Fracking, the informal name for hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting natural gas from the earth. In this process, a well is drilled deep into the earth to reach shale. Once it hit this level, the well takes a ninety-degree turn and runs through the layer. Water with other dissolved chemicals is pressurized and sent down the well to create cracks in the shale. This solution helps absorb the gas and is subsequently pumped back up the well to the surface (NYTimes). The controversies…

I want to discuss the current gas prices. Why do the gas prices change from day to day? Today the average gas price has come down about 40 cents, since early April of this year. Drivers in the United States are expected to use about 133 Billion gallons of gasoline this year; the 40 cent price break is about %53 billion in yearly savings if it were to stay in place for a full year. Then there is an increase in gas prices there is a tax on consumers. However, a decrease in gas prices is a tax…

water on fire while it is coming right out of the faucet because methane and other chemicals leaked inside the water supply. The water is unfit for consumption. People say water tastes metallically. Of the water that comes back up, the drilling industries illegally dump the toxic into fields and streams. Now people are unable to fish and swim in the streams and lakes. Dead fish and animals are found all along the banks of the…

harmful to the economy and environment. Such is the cost of destruction, contamination, air pollution and displacing the Native American’s. Oil Pipelines have been here for a long time. In the Oil history, the author Samuel T pees. He is certified Petroleum Geologist by The American Association of…

Fracking has large impact on daily life for global consumers, it effects prices and availability of fuels for consumers. Fracking is an exceptionally complicated process. To start the process, a ten thousand foot well is drilled below the surface into shale layers. Next, 1 to 8 million gallons of water mixed with chemicals are injected into the well at extremely high pressures to crack the rock. This will allow the product to flow out once the water is mostly removed. This process is highly…

bitumen and has the consistency of tar (R. v. Syncrude Canada Ltd.) A bird’s feathers are aligned in such a way that they keep water from soaking between them. When a bird becomes oiled their feathers will separate altering their original waterproof alignment. Due to the matting of the bird’s feathers water will now be able reach the birds sensitive skin and could potentially lead to hypothermia (International Bird Rescue, 2015). Another adverse affect of oil on the birds is that their natural…

What made me furious and offended me was the lack of remorse these companies felt for creating such an economic catastrophe, that not only troubled people in the United States but also people worldwide. Jobs were destroyed, homes were lost, and the greed by these companies provoked all of that. People in Florida were living in “tent cities” because some of them had lost their homes, some of them had lost their jobs, and unemployment was insufficient for food and rent. The lack of concern that…

North Jersey has been an epicenter of manufacturing, refining, and shipping since the Industrial Age. However, the region’s propensity towards those three fields has led to a vast number of environmental problems in northern cities. In a recent case spanning from 2004 to 2015, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) charged the Exxon Mobil Corporation with the contamination of soil and groundwater via oil spills. Although the state settled that Exxon would pay $225 million…
