NON RENEWABLE RESOURCES [pic] A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced‚ re-grown‚ regenerated‚ or reused on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount‚ or are consumed much faster than nature can recreate them. Fossil fuel (such as coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and nuclear power are examples. In contrast‚ resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) or metals (which can be recycled) are considered renewable

Although it’s impossible to foretell the future‚ energy policy arguments will be part of an ongoing political and societal debate. * We obtain most of our energy in the United States today from petroleum‚ coal‚ and natural gas. We expend this energy primarily on electrical generation and on transportation. Why We Must Consider Alternative Energy Sources? There are two main reasons to consider alternatives to oil and coal in the near future. (1)First‚ our dependency

better ways that America can use alternative fuels for a cleaner and safer environment when using transportation. There are several fuels in the environment which are claimed to be safer and cleaner. They include hydrogen‚ biodiesel‚ ethanol‚ and natural gas. Other options for different energy sources are solar powered energy or electric powered energy. Hybrid vehicles are the most popular when it comes to modern day cars. The most popular car companies that offer these features are Honda‚ Toyota‚ and

To our luck‚ the discovery of fossil fuels‚ substances created from the decomposition of ancient organisms and fossils like oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ allowed us to replenish our tools’ thirst for energy; in fact‚ each of these fossil fuels have their own traits‚ perks‚ and downsides that separate them from each other.

Hydrogen is the most common fuel of fuel cells‚ but hydrocarbons such as natural gas and alcohols are sometimes used. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a constant source of fuel and oxygen to run. Fuel cell can produce electricity as long as fuels are supplied. Fuel cells consist of an anode (negative

Political and Economic Thoughts on the Fracking Nation Introduction Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is a horizontal drilling method that extracts natural gas from Marcellus shale formations thousands of feet below the surface. A high pressure water mixtures is pushed into a well‚ and pressure applied so the shale cracks and releases gas. The gases are then captured and refined. Since this high technology system has been developed‚ there has not been enough structured support‚ such as reports

"Barbecue includes any metal frame for cooking over heat or flame‚ whether such heat or flame is produced by gas‚ electricity‚ wood or otherwise." Background During the summer season residents are likely to enjoy cooking on barbecue grills.

The Sleipner gas field is operated by Statoil‚ which is Norway’s largest oil company. Consisting of an east field and a west field‚ the Sleipner gas field is located offshore Norway in the North Sea‚ and produces natural gas and condensate from sandstones located 2‚500 meters below sea level. While the natural gas produced from the Sleipner East field contains the acceptable amount of less than 2.5% carbon dioxide‚ the natural gas produced from the Sleipner West field contains

There is a lot going on underground and that process is called Fracking. The word alone can stir up controversy. The process of extracting natural gas through hydraulic fracturing or “fracking‚” might summon in someone’s imagination an environment and damaged communities.
