There are several different forms of energy I use throughout the year at home‚ work‚ and while traveling and the amounts of these energies I use varies with the different seasons. At home the main sources of energy used is the fossil fuel‚ natural gas‚ and the secondary energy electricity. Electricity is a secondary source because it is converted by using other primary sources of energy such as coal‚ nuclear‚ or solar energy (“Electricity Basics”‚ n.d). I rely on these two main forms of energy

Multimodal Transportation in India‚ China‚ Australia‚ USA and Europe MULTI MODAL TRANSPORTATION Multimodal transportation is the movement of cargo from the point of origin to the final destination‚ by using two or more modes of transport. Multimodal transportation describes a shipment that takes several means of transportation – rail‚ road‚ ocean‚ air – from its point of departure to its point of destination. The concept of international multimodal transport covers the door-to-door movement

In today’s economy‚ natural gas and oil are used for energy‚ to heat and cool homes and provides fuel for cooking. Fossil fuel companies developed a process for natural gas called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing has become the most used technique in the United States’ to produce oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing is also knows as fracking is a technique to produce natural gas and oil. Wells are built which involves the injection of water‚ sand and chemicals at high pressure into

In the documentary Gasland Josh Fox talked about how people’s properties were being invaded by fracking industries which is "hydraulic fracturing" which is drilling into the ground for natural gas as Josh Fox explained in this documentary. All of these people had been suffering with the water portion of it because with the oil drilling there water pipes were mixed in with the oil which there water faucets water came mixed with oil which meant that the water is not drinkable that’s why Fox went into

companies are so influential and why it is difficult to fight against their operation. Natural gas explora-tion and production activities are under the Texas Railroad Commission (TRRC) “which exhibits more of a promotional emphasis rather than concerns for safety and the environment in its dealings with the oil and gas companies.” (Davis‚ C.‚ 2012). Although the TRRC found complaints regarding water contamination in wells near Fort Worth area‚ to be without merit‚ their findings were subsequently

seriously affected by this problem. Carbon dioxide emissions also comes from the burning of the fossil fuels such as oil‚ natural gas and coal for the purpose of electricity generation. The second major cause is methane‚ which is another contributor to the greenhouse effects. Mining for coals and oil releases methane in the atmosphere. Moreover‚ the leakage from natural gas fields and landfills are additional source of methane. When methane exists in the air for a long time‚ it can become carbon

Natural gas imports decreased by 25 percent between 2007 and 2011‚ while petroleum imports dropped from a high of 29.248 quadrillion [British Thermal Units] in 2005 to 24.740 in 2011. By 2020‚ the Energy Information Administration predicts that the USA will become a net exporter of natural gas‚ and as more natural gas reserves are discovered and tapped‚ that date may yet be pushed earlier.

Explain why fossil fuel exploration could lead to high economic and environmental costs. (10) A fossil fuel is a natural fuel such as coal or gas‚ formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. There are many environmental and economic costs behind the exploration of fossil fuels‚ and as demand is ever increasing‚ these costs in turn are multiplying. There have been many environmental costs linked to the exploration of fossil fuels. Firstly looking at fracking‚ which has

happens very slowly‚ the environment goes through natural periods of cooling and warming. Global warming causes changes in the climate over time. Global warming has been an issue since 1950. (White‚ 2013) A lot of times global warming is referred to as climate change. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of global warming due to human activity. Contributors to the rise of greenhouse gases released into the air causing global warming include burning oil and gas to power automobiles‚ machinery‚ and heat/energy
