2014 Pick Your Poison Nuclear power plant or coal-burning power plant? There’s no denying the controversy that arises any time power plants come into discussion‚ but there are many recent discoveries causing more people to sway in one direction. We must take all factors such as emissions and other environmental effects into consideration. Upon doing research‚ it is clear that nuclear power is far safer‚ and could benefit the state more than burning coal ever could. Nuclear power plants are much

The average American uses enough electricity‚ annually‚ to burn over 9 tons of coal. Along with the burning of coal‚ gasoline is another highly used resource when it comes to every day living. Car manufacturers are taking the necessary steps in producing vehicles that do not run on gasoline. Hybrid and all

But these ‘fossil fuels’ won’t last for ever. There’s only enough oil and gas for the next 50 years. Coal will last longer — perhaps about 300 years. And then? Well‚ one answer is nuclear energy. But‚ today‚ after Chernobyl‚ many people think it’s too dangerous. There are four solutions. They all use

The need arises for sea transport when one country has a shortage of something‚ such as iron-ore‚ grain or coal‚ and another country has a surplus. These three types of commodities make up the dry-bulk industry. As such‚ when analysing the demand level of sea transport‚ we realize the overall level of demand for sea transport activity has

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 FLY ASH India produces about 70 million tons of coal ash per year from burning about 200 million tons of coal per year for electric power generation. Coal-ash management posses a serious environmental problem for India and requires a mission-mode approach. Considerable research and development work have been undertaken across the country towards confidence building and developing suitable technologies for disposal and utilization of fly ash construction

Part One - Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil
