Although we may be able to sustain a planet with some kind of civilization, the earth that we knew is gone. Oil and fossil fuels are attributed to manual labor and why we are prosperous and why our economies have grown. It is also why we have global warming and acid oceans. Rising temperatures and depleting oil reserves go hand in hand. Modernity may cease with global warming as half the biggest companies are oil companies, and oil is the essence of life.

“Clean Coal” Summarized | Alan Rutherford 9/17/2011 | This article was about how the coal industry created a multi-million dollar campaign to promote “Clean Coal”. The coal industry wants the public and the world to know that burning “Clean Coal“is a viable and a clean way for energy. This article takes the opinions from scientists, students, policy advocates and community residents of why burning coal is harmful to our environment. I will summarize my thoughts on “Clean Coal” from what the article has explained on clean coal both positive and negatively with my own personal thoughts of reflection. In reading this article about “Clean Coal” I thought there are some positive points that the coal industry illustrates from their view point on “Clean Coal”.
Although there are potential economical disadvantages to fracking, there are also enormous positives. The industry would lead the world to believe the pros outweigh the cons significantly. According to Governor Tom Corbett, there is the potential for the addition of approximately 200,000 jobs in the next ten years due to the natural gas industry. Between 2010 and 2013 there have been nearly 160,000 jobs created in Pennsylvania. Lt.
It will also discuss the so-called “War on Coal” and President Obama’s strides to more heavily regulate coal and embrace cleaner energy. Part III will discuss the cleaner and renewable energy options for Pittsburgh and how the region can benefit from the Federal Government’s plan to move away from fossil fuels, especially coal. The article will debate on the effects on the Pittsburgh region, and will argue that at first the costs may be high, but the planned sanctions will be advantageous to Pittsburgh. This section will also discuss the forthcoming legal issues facing coal powered plants in the region. The purpose of this article is not to condemn coal or its history with the Pittsburgh area, but rather to advocate a brighter, cleaner future for the region.
Discounting the amount of waste that is recycled still leaves a difference of more than double in the waste creation between the years, but the exponential growth in the recycling amount provides information into a changing attitude. Although waste and recycling are only a subset of the ecological issues faced across the globe today, this information provides insight into the mindset and changing values relative to the environment. The improvement in the recycling rate didn’t occur over a year or even in the last decade, but has steadily climbed over the last 40 years. We can expect to find similar adoption rates across all environmental solutions, as it generally takes time for the information and education to spread, and additional time for it to be broadly accepted. As such, the most important question we can look to answer is not, whether one solution is better than another, but if we applied any and all possible solutions to the issues, is there time to fix the problems we have caused.
Although this might be true, but according to the video “Beck, Immigration, World Poverty, and Gumballs,” Beck states that the one million immigrants that the US takes every year are the most hardworking, and educated people who are looking for a better life. Moreover, immigrants show their willingness to cooperate in the American notion of nationalism through serving under the American forces, and in 2008, over 65000 of the forgings were serving under the US flag (Gold, 2015). In conclusion, immigration should be considered more as a useful source that could lead the states to a better future, with better economy, more businessmen, and more scientists. In like manner, the government should consider reforming immigration to fix the flaws in immigration laws in order to make more beneficial source. Also, it will allow foreign graduated students which most of them are engineers, scientists, and even businessmen to live and work for the states.
In Path to Prosperity, Paul Ryan offers an 80% cut in discretionary spending - the largestgutting of governmental public services in our lifetime - and FEMA finds itself stuck on the chopping block. Although exact numbers aren't given to how much disaster funds would be cut, it's safe to say that calling 211 might be the only option left in a nation starved for cash flow. This was the point made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yesterday when he chastised Mitt and Paul for even thinking that they could show sympathy for the hurricane victims. A bit harsh? Yes.
America’s unemployment is around 7.5% with about twice as many people either giving up the search for employment or the unemployment benefits running out. So to say that the unemployment is closer to 15% is not that far out of bounds. The American blue collar worker is disappearing very rapidly. In recent months the President of the United States Barrack Obama has made his case for reviving the manufacturing base. “We want to create and sell products all over the world that are stamped with three simple words: ‘Made in America.’ That’s our goal,” the president said last
Benefits of Fracking Fracking could change the way Americans live. Hydraulic fracturing is an extraction process used to get natural gas, oil and geothermal energy. The drillers, drill thousands of feet down through the bedrock and then inject a mixture of chemicals and grit into shale below. The mixture fractures the rock, allowing natural gas to seep back out through the drill hole. Even though there are people against fracking, the opposites consider that it could be good because it will create jobs, Americans could have their own energy and the U.S.A will use less coal.
