help. Fracking for natural gas needs to be further regulated before it can continue. Fracking is the process of drilling and injecting fracking fluid into the ground at high pressures in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas. The fracking procedure is different than the usual oil technique used to get oil. First‚ they drill vertically into the ground. After drilling‚ they inject chemicals‚ water and sand into the well. When the shale rock is finally cracked they begin extracting

Ecotourism has started growing in popularity as criticism has arisen over ordinary mass tourism. Mass tourists exploit tourist destinations in such a way that can cause environmental degradation. Ecotourism attempts to make tourism sustainable that is‚ it encourages preservation of environmental quality and of traditional cultures‚ it educates tourists and it enables the local people to participate in certain services offered to the eco-tourists. As ecotourism extends towards increasingly exotic

results in pollution during every stage of production‚ this ranges from: mining and recovery to refining‚ transporting and more importantly using it as fuel. Drilling wells is responsible for direct pollution due to oil spills; consequently‚ drilling also leads to the injection of watery liquids into the wells which are later distributed as drilling mud that often cause their own toxic pollution. Furthermore‚ the transporting of such oil by tanker ships have the potential to cause great disasters resulting

Spindletop Story On January 10th‚ 1901‚ 10:30 AM‚ possibly the biggest and most influential events in all of oil history occurred in Beaumont‚ Texas. The Texas Oil Company‚ now known as Texaco‚ struck oil at a salt dome in southern Beaumont Texas. This was the biggest amount of oil the world had ever seen at the time. These wells on Spindletop would change the way we drilled‚ collected‚ used‚ and sold oil. Spindletop even raised concerns about conserving the oil. This gusher would change the way

Fracking‚ what’s wrong with the US. To start off‚ Fracking is a reason development that uses water pressure to bust through rocks and pump oil out of the ground‚ which is cheaper than overseas oil transport. First‚ fracking is a waste of good resources like water‚ and uses harmful chemicals. Second‚ not only is it waste of resources it destroys resources land and the air that were not effecting in the first place. Fracking is a dangerous game that is a short solution to a big problem. “Each fracking

Nobody knows for certain. McCain and Obama each have different but reasonable ideas to help this wonderful country rely less on foreign aid and utilizing the energy sources that are available right here in America‚ the McCain ad emphasizes off-shore drilling and new cleaner energy‚ and the Obama ad focuses on only new cleaner energy without any way of improving the current situation while research takes place.
