The world has solely relied on fossil fuels to supply us energy. Alone petroleum, coal, natural gas, and oil makes up eighty-one percent of the United States of America’s energy. If the world does not push to use alternative energy, eventually completely switching to alternative energy, leaving fossil fuels in the past, we will never stop some of the environmental problems contributed with burning fossil fuels. Some of the harsh environmental problems are air pollution, water pollution, and oil…

The National Energy Act of 1978 was created in response to the energy crisis of the 1970’s. America oil consumption in the early 1970’s was rising, yet domestic oil production was declining. This made the US more and more dependent on foreign oil. In 1973, an oil embargo was imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Companies (OAPEC), causing fuel shortages and prices to skyrocket. The price of oil shot from $3 to $12 in just 3 months after the embargo. The oil embargo was lifted…

exponentially in conjunction with the population. If the population grows and the economy does not, this leads to recessions and price inflation.

Political instability…

Dear Congressman, After researching the production of oil, in regards to offshore drilling I have found that the oil rigs are creating a vast amount of negative externalities, which is leading to inefficiencies in the economy. Offshore drilling is greatly associated with the amount of risk and as technology advances it has allowed companies to operate in even deeper waters, which allows the major companies to explore further out into the ocean. Past oil spills, along with the assumption of…

environment. I am going to investigate three fossil fuels which are Petrol, Diesel and Ethanol. Petrol is a light fuel oil that is obtained by distilling petroleum and is used in internal combustion engines. Petrol is a fossil fuel which can be known as a natural gas, petrol can also be referred to as propane. Propane is liquefied petroleum gas, its a product of both crude oil and natural gas. Because propane is derived from these two fossil fuels, its effect on the environment can be…
