Introduction Fossil fuels are an integrated part of how humans consume and produce energy. In the 1990s‚ it was estimated that‚ “the annual global input of petroleum would be between 1.7 and 8.8 million metric tons‚ the majority of which is derived from anthropogenic sources.” Meaning the estimated amount of oil that would be used every year to meet the energy demand.(Leahy and Colwell 1990) Since this prediction‚ the amount actually used each year has grown considerably. Due to this increased use

In 2012‚ PCD and NSTDA conducted a research project to estimate the environmental benefits in order to communicate the benefits of GPP and promote it further. For the evaluation of environmental benefits‚ 10 products were selected from the list of 17 designated products/services for GPP. Using different methodologies such as; life cycle assessment‚ life cycle costing and others‚ NSTDA estimated the difference in impacts of conventional versus green products. In addition‚ it also established impact

Hydraulic Fracturing: Benefits of Shale Gas Fracking Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is a sixty-year-old industry; however‚ in recent years availability and innovative fracking processes have created a boom‚ rendering the U.S. economy less vulnerable to alarming oil prices. “In 2009‚ the United States finally outpaced Russia to become the world’s top natural gas producer” (Walker). And now the nation enjoys many benefits inclusive but not limited to lower fuel prices. When done well‚ fracking provides
