Hydraulic Fracking is a controversial issue because so little is known about it. But Fracking is some people’s way of life so we can’t just take away their jobs because they have families to feed and to take care of. But on the other hand Destroying are environment and endangering the public isn’t right either just because we need natural gas. Everyone has a side and an opinion but before making your decision on what side you’re on you should always read about it and look up facts. Fracking…

Electric cars are most likely going to be the future. People may ask why electric cars, why not just normal gas engine cars. I think there should be more electric cars. Well first off, they are electric, so that means they don’t create pollution, they are one of the safest cars in the world, and they are comfortable and luxurious. Electric cars will be the future. Some more facts that electric cars do not create pollution is they are completely electric. Everything on the car is run by…

Some of the risks and impacts detected in fracking are multiple and in different areas. 1. Risks During Drilling: there are special drilling techniques necessary so that later they can move on to the fracking, this causes the normal drilling risk to add up to the usual risks of a hydrocarbon sounding, the specifics of diverted soundings are joined. These are risks of explosion, gas leaks, sulfuric acid leaks (very toxic in low concentrations), and formation collapses on the pipeline. The last…

Biofuels are organic chemicals that can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels which are known to produce greenhouse emissions. Corn sugar is used in the production of these biofuels, the most prevalent of which is ethanol (Ethanol Biofuel). Although ethanol shows great potential as a fossil fuel alternative, there isn’t enough corn sugar around to produce ethanol for all machinery. Also, too much fossil fuel is involved in its production to provide any significant…

The difficulty of mining oil sands varies depending on the location of the oil sands. Oil sands deposits that are less than about 250 feet below the surface can be removed using conventional strip-mining methods. The strip-mining process includes removal of the overburden, excavation of the resource, and transportation to a processing facility. Nearly all mined bitumen is currently upgraded to synthetic crude oil. Oil sands extraction processes are generally divided into two categories: mining…

Radium Springs is an Unincorporated community that is located in the coastal plain area which is right below the piedmont region. The exact location of the Radium Spring is Southwest on the outskirts of Albany Georgia in Dougherty county. The Radium spring is one of Georgia’s seven wonders and the largest natural artesian spring in the state of Georgia. The formation of this spring is due to the karst topography where the surface of the water infiltrated the earth crust surface that became the…

State officials and environmentalists are worried about the potential long term effects of the oil spill on the wildlife. Compared to the other oil spills disaster, this one wasn’t as bad because the most heavily impacted area is a relatively narrow 30 mile stretch. The Yellowstone National Park isn’t affected by the oil spill, but the 30 mile stretch that was polluted by the oil spill is affected. The 30 mile stretch includes a bird watching haven. However, the good thing about the…

Glorious colors of fireworks Have you ever before viewed the fireworks show and pondered how all the several colors. The amazing colors of the reds, yellows, oranges, blues, purples, greens, and even more are created. A single color, or the mixture of colors, a firework makes will depend on what color-producing chemicals are in the firework. These chemicals are various material salts that burn up when the firework runs off, and using up the metals is why the colors is. Different metals produce…

environmental dangers, triggered by climate change, and rising security issues in relation to potential terrorist threats, the protection of oil and gas infrastructures like pipelines has now become a top priority in the agenda of governments and the energy industry worldwide. When a pipeline is damaged, whether it has been deliberately sabotaged under a terrorist attack, like it’s been often occurring in the Middle East in recent times, affected by seismic or land movements, or ruptured during…

Owning a Tesla car has its benefits, yet there are few drawbacks that need to be addressed, to ensure this vehicle is widely applicable to the entire society. One of the benefits of owning an electrical vehicle, is no emissions are produces as the vehicle is powered and operated through electrical energy only. This means it requires no sort of fossil-fuels or biofuels, required to actively operate this vehicle. This is essential in current society, as the global warming due to excess production…
