come out of the ground in forms of liquids‚ gases and solids. These sources include‚ nuclear‚ natural gases‚ and coal. They are considered nonrenewable because they cannot be replenished in a short period. Actually‚ it can take thousands of years in order for them to reproduce themselves. As of now‚ crude oil or (petroleum) is the only naturally liquid profitable fossil fuel. In addition‚ natural gas and propane are normally gases‚ and coal is a solid. If these nonrenewable run out they will become

the liquid can open existing cracks or holes to extract oil or gas. Fracking was discovered by Geologist who found out that further opening a rock formation can expose oil and gas that’s within the rock‚ but however even though Geologist is fascinated and intrigued by this process other people believe that Fracking is a danger to our world and cause major problems that can even harm humans‚ do to the different types of chemicals and gas that are leaking out of the rock that destroying the land and

“Natural gas has an important role to play in the Northeast region and in our nation’s overall energy future.” Ed Rendell (NY Daily News). Fracking is a great way of getting natural gas; without fracking we wouldn’t have the gas need for energy like heating and power generation. Although Fracking makes pollution worse‚ it has many positive effects on people’s lives. Fracking is a way to get natural gas; natural gas is a cleaner source of energy. Another way fracking is good is it helps increase job

non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in it‚ meaning higher energy content • Lignite: softest‚ low in

Talisman Energy (Talisman) is an independent international upstream oil and gas company undertaking exploration‚ development‚ production‚ transportation‚ and marketing of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Talisman was establish in 1992. The company primarily operates in North America‚ the North Sea‚ and Southeast Asia. It is headquartered in Alberta‚ Canada and employs

production of oil or gas. While fracking has aided in the plumpting of gas prices across the United States‚ it unfortunately causes serious health and environmental issues. Contaminated water‚ contaminated soil‚ polluted air‚ exposure to toxic chemicals and long term health effects. Fracking brings more harm than good. Fracking is accomplished when a well with veins (small branching off pathways)‚ is drilled. This pathway altogether tends to be over a mile long. Shale containing gas or oil is fractured

centuries‚ countries including the United States have been searching for new ways to obtain an alternate source of energy. During the 1940’s‚ Hydraulic fracking (hydrofracking) or horizontal well drilling became the method of choice for obtaining natural gas. According to the 2010‚ report Fueling North America’s Energy

article called “Methanol--the fuel in Waiting” explains how Methanol could both have positive and negative effects in the environment and the economy. The article discusses how methanol could be another alternative to gasoline and it is a made from natural gas‚ which makes it easier to make and use. Methanol (see Figure 1) is that it is the simplest alcohol with a chain of one carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms attached. The characteristics of this simple alcohol are that it is a light‚ volatile‚
