Top Fuel

all of this progress is now under threat as since January 2016 the tax credit has been cancelled. This poses a huge threat to the progress that has been made (Downey, 2015). While these advances are small in comparison to the production of fossil fuels, how can it be argued that renewable energy sooner or later will be the…

one why or why not? The pros of having an electric vehicle would be less expensive fuel, we all know that the prices of gasoline are going up because the limited fossil fuel that well eventually run out, and let’s be realistic here by saying that no everyone enjoys paying for their gas, plus electric vehicles are much friendlier on the environment with no tailpipe emissions they have less dependency on fossil fuels. Not only does an electric vehicle help eliminate your carbon footprint but it…

“The use of forests for fuel, both wood, for charcoal and other necessary lifestyle products cause deforestation. In order satiate ourselves, for wood and other products, mainly habitat and to build farms we are chopping forest which is not a good sign and has also lead to decrease…

An ecological crisis is the destabilization of an environment, that contains a population or species ("Ecological Crisis"). This destabilization is can be caused by numerous factors, that imbalance the environment. Take for example the worldwide issue of global warming. The environment that is affected in this example is planet Earth. Some factors that are influencing this event of global warming is pollution. Pollution is the introduction of contaminates into an environment that causes adverse…

example, solar energy is much cleaner in that it does not emit carbon dioxide gas, takes up less space than other power plants since panels can be placed on top of buildings, or used as windows, and will not have any runoff pollution which will help keep the limited freshwater supply much cleaner (Tsuotsos, 2005, p. 291). Limiting fossil fuel pollution will help keep the environment cleaner which will limit the amount of money being spent on pollution clean up, therefore, making solar energy…

with humans, “volcanic eruptions, fluctuations in ocean currents”, and other natural disasters, produce destructive emissions that are released into the atmosphere (Gail, 2015). Many scientists believe that if humans continue to carelessly use fossil fuels, “weather patterns could change, causing flooding, drought, and an increase in damaging storms” (Should the U.S., 2012). Others however, believe that mother nature is in fact to blame for the global climate change. Whether it is derived…

Greenhouse gases trap heat, therefor when we extract and burn fossil fuels such as coal, we cause the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Another large problem is that losing forests constantly is not making it any better. Clearing the forests also releases large amounts of carbon dioxide. On top of that, plants and trees use it to grow. Worldwide deforestation means we don’t have as many trees to absorb…

P2 Describe how over extracting raw materials causes global pollution Pollution is when pollutants (usually green house gases) are released into our atmosphere and contaminate it. Green house gases are the pollutants that are commonly known for contributing to global warming. When extracting raw materials from our earth we do more damage than we think, in order to build our desired project we must take our materials from the earth. This process is known as the extraction of raw materials In…

effective and least harmful way possible. Our current reliance on fossil fuels is hindering us from this and needs to end. Renewable energy is the way of the future and should be held more valuable. In particular, solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy resource we currently have available to us in the United States. There needs to be programs and regulations put into place that can help wean us off fossil fuels and push us into the future with solar energy. The United…

movement. One failed example is regarding billionaire Richard Branson who is the founder of Virgin airlines. His pledge to attach its name to several biofuel projects have not gone according to plan. While he had committed $3 billion to develop a new fuel, the sectors have stalled. Due to this, we are forced to settle with the “fact that he’s passionate about it is a good thing” (Klein…
