turn the generator varies widely. It depends chiefly on which fuels are easily available‚ cheap enough and on the types of technology that the power company has access to. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas to generate electricity‚ and some use nuclear power‚ but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar‚ wind‚ wave and hydroelectric. Types of power generating plants Electricity can be generated using the kinetic energy

also termed hydrofracturing‚ hydrofracking‚ or simply fracking‚ is hotly debated for its economic and environmental impacts. Fracking is the process by which rock is fractured by a pressurized fluid containing water. chemicals and sand to access natural gas‚ petroleum and brine from great depths of the Earth’s surface. Fracking produces the economic benefit of more accessible hydrocarbons‚ not to mention the 2.5 million fracking related jobs that were recorded in 2012 worldwide‚ one million of which

Just-in-time may no longer be good enough. Other trends‚ like the unforeseen boom in shale gas exploration in the United States‚ offer lucrative growth opportunities to some sectors but are having serious repercussions for others. In particular‚ the abundance of low-cost shale gas feeds available to North American olefins crackers is changing the mix of products coming out of crackers. By choosing low-cost natural gas feeds instead of higher-cost feeds from crude oil‚ cracker operators effectively reduce

Economic & Environmental Effects of Fracking Introduction Fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock. Fracking allows the world to retain natural gas from depths that were deemed unreachable by conventional technology. Recent advancements in Fracking technology have propelled America to the forefront of natural gas extraction. By this method‚ the shale rock is punctured with a high pressure fluid‚ causing it to rupture and allow the movement

Recycling can create many jobs and in time improve the economy. Recycling can also save natural resources‚ save energy‚ reduce pollution and conserve landfill space. In order to save the earth‚ the world needs to recycle more. It should be mandatory that every community in the world has an area for recycles. Garbage companies could even hire people to go through garbage and pick out the recyclable items. Saving natural resources is one of the many things recycling can accomplish. “Making products with

Journey to Sakhalin Sakhalin Island’s resources include oil‚ gas and coal‚ as well as forestry and fishing. Before the collapse of the USSR‚ oil and gas were being extracted from the ground. Several geological studies show that the vast reserves of Sakhalin’s oil and gas were mainly under the Sea of Okhotsk. After the disintegration of the USSR‚ Russia was eager to rebuild its economy and oil and gas were resources that it could leverage for foreign assistance. Before Sakhalin II‚ Russia would
