Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil. Using food crops to produce oil aids our independence but, it also has the potential to drain our food supply, especially in a time of emergency. All these things give example of the many ways hemp oil could potentially replace our dependence on foreign oils and propel us into more eco-friendly options to sustain our daily lives. The plant would benefit people if we were to let it thrive and have taxes on different productions. The author closes by saying the government is preventing farmers from growing hemp for any reason and spends four billion dollars a year trying to keep it
How can alternative sources of energy be harnessed effectively? We are running out of our most important natural source of energy, fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are non-renewable natural fuels that were formed by the decomposition of animal and plants that lived up to 100-300 million years ago and humans cannot manufacture Fossil Fuels. The price of fossil fuels is also rising across the globe and when the fossil fuels are burned, it damages the already deteriorated environment. The burning of the fossil fuels is also the main contributor to global warming.
Paul Vu Reusser ENGL Comp 1113 8AM 23 June, 2014 Environmental Danger Have you ever wondered how some oil companies get natural gas? There are numerous ways to obtain oil from the ground. Most people require natural gas in their everyday life. It has become more common, cheaper, and cleaner energy source. One of the ways to get it is called fracking.
Anthony Dember Auto Electrical Principles Electronic Fuel Injection In the mid 1970's, industrialized nations recognized the growing environmental threat that emissions from vehicles posed to the entire world. Governments started to regulate the amount of "acceptable" emissions (or amounts of unburned fuel) that vehicles could generate. Though developed much earlier in the twentieth century, fuel injection systems proved to be very helpful in reducing emissions. Other advancements, like the catalytic converter helped the job of car markers to create more environmentally friendly vehicles. Cutting down the amount of dangerous emissions from vehicles is one of the many benefits of electronic fuel injection engines.
The effects of their use on the environment can be far reaching and detrimental to health of humans, animals, and other organisms that inhabit the earth. Eventually, these fossil fuels will run out. Finding alternative ways to produce power is an endeavor that is
Comparison and Contrast: Gasoline vs. Ethanol In a world that is becoming more and more dependent on machines and technology, effective fuels are in high demand. Today, one of the many energy disputes is between conventional gasoline and ethanol. Gasoline has been around since before internal combustion engines were in production, so why the sudden interest in ethanol? I will go into detail on the dispute between gasoline and ethanol and the benefits/drawbacks of each. Gasoline, derived from a limited fossil fuel, producing a relatively low octane, and causing many foreign disputes may still be a better choice than water-attracting ethanol that will require change to an entire industry.
Should Australia go Nuclear? Unless you live under a stone, you’ll be aware that we have a very serious problem with global warming, most of which occurs because of the burning of fossil fuels like coal to produce energy. As a result of these concerns, there is a really important debate currently underway about what kind of energy Australia should have in the future, fossil fuel, renewable energy or nuclear? Nuclear energy was on the discussion table a few years ago but recently it has surfaced again due to global warming. One of the greatest advantages of nuclear power is that it avoids the wide variety of environmental problems arising from burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil.
The change to "greener fuel" has yet to take place, more than one hundred years after Rudolf Diesel made that change possible. The diesel engine eventually became a much sought after commodity. It would eventually replace the more cumbersome and dangerous fuels, such as coal, that were being used on ships and such, at the time. It would make these ships faster, cleaner and more efficient. If one country had a monopoly on these engines, it would have given them a strong military advantage.
Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming. Since there is not much pollution by hydroelectric plants then the earth should be able to last longer. Another main advantage is that water is provided free by nature there is minimum cost to convert it into energy. The earth is made up of 72% of water then there is a main advantage since we have enough water to last a long time. Hydropower plays a major role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions which could also help with less pollution released into the environment.
Natural resources i) The earth is full of resources; from land to water and from gas to coal ii) Our fossil fuels and natural resources are being used up more and more everyday iii) We have become dependent on fossil fuels and soon they will be all be gone iv) We need to work to find alternative resources for energy to keep our world going strong v) Scientists have found ways to convert renewable resources such as biofuels, wind turbines, the sun, water and much more into energy to power our future vi) Conservation is the movement to conserve natural resources III. 1. Pollution i) Pollution is one of the main problem with our environmental issues ii) Habitats, plants, animals, and the very air and water we consume are effected by pollution iii) It is both dangerous for us and the environment to keep the pollution rates remain iv) There have been steps made to help prevent the spread of pollution such as recycling and pollution laws v) Scientists are coming up with more efficient ways to reduce pollution 2. Wildlife Protection i) Wildlife is a necessity for humans; we need them to survive ii) With animal life slowly decreasing in population because of our actions, many species are becoming extinct iii) We need to stop destroying habitats from logging, pollution, building homes, etc or some of our animal species will become extinct IV. 1.
