Alternative Fuels People in America do not realize the fact that driving their vehicle is one of the regular activities that they do that has one of the largest impacts on the earth. With more and more cars in use each day‚ the more fossil fuels are called for. Fossil fuels are natural fuels that were formed from the remains of living organisms. These fossil fuels typically take millions of years to be formed. Since most fossil fuels are being imported due to it taking a huge amount of time

6 Ocober 2013 Fossil Fuels and Alternate Energy Sources In the early 1900s‚ fossil fuels were the primary source of energy‚ but in more recent times with reserves diminishing and global warming becoming a major issue‚ we are forced to develop alternate sources of energy. According to Melosi‚ Governments became aware of the effects of fossil fuels as early as the 1950s‚ and in an attempt to combat this‚ they passed laws to try and lower the amount of pollution it caused (The Automobile and

Soil conservation includes all such measures which protect the soil from erosion and restore its fertility. These measures are of two types-(a) small measures to check soil erosion at local or even individual level‚ and (b) large measures at government level involving larger area and heavy investment. (a) Small Measures-These include afforestation‚ regularised land strip cultivation or contour farming or terrace farming in hilly areas‚ use of stubble mulch system‚ increasing cohesiveness of the

Fossil Fuels: Rape of Nature {Student name here} {Class name here} {Professor Name here} {Due Date} Fossil Fuels‚ which include coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas‚ are a non-renewable energy source that were formed from the decomposition of plants and animals that were deposited in the Earth around 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels‚ after being removed from the Earth‚ are converted into energy and this energy is essential to modern society (Chughtai & Shannon‚ 1998). Over 85 percent

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell of the

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and

due to human activities and the reason for conservation of biodiversity will be discussed in details with respect to its aesthetic value‚ medicinal importance and its ecological value. The concept of biodiversity is important in building awareness‚ knowledge‚ information‚ ethics‚ and other complex mixture of agriculture‚ protected areas‚ etc. Figure 1 shows how these fit into the society together to achieve a common objective which is the conservation of biodiversity‚ sustainable use of biological

equations developed at microscopic level are needed in order to provide some input into problem solving at macroscopic level. At all three levels of description (molecular‚ microscopic & macroscopic)‚ the conservation law play a key role. Conservation law – keeping from change or to hold ( a property) constant during an interaction or process. We consider two colliding diatomic molecules system. For simplicity we assume that the molecules do not interact

ow‚ what do mean by this? This means that conservation of a unit of energy is cheaper and environmentally more desirable than to generate an additional unit. For‚ it is estimated that generation of every additional kilowatt for one hour of energy requires an investment of Rs. 7‚000 to 12‚000 in the form of new energy generation equipments. Excessive utilization of coal and oil for generation of electricity leads to the multiple problems of acid rain‚ and rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
