frequency declined as reported by Minor (1994). Despite this evidence‚ a number of examples in the last few years seems to support a new trend. For instance‚ in Bolivia in 2006 the leader Morales announced a plan to nationalize the local natural gas industry (Reel and Mufson‚ 2006); in Venezuela where over the last three years the president Chavez has ordered the nationalization of foreign firms in several extractive industries (Narea‚ 2010); in Ecuador a contract with the oil company Occidental

Fracking has been a big deal lately. Fracking is a technique to get oil and gas out of the ground but it means they have to put a pipe in the ground then send water‚sand and many other chemicals through the pipe at high-pressure. From all the pressure it makes cracks in the ground bringing up gas and oil. Even if there’s many benefits from fracking there’s many disadvantages to. My claim on this problem is that we should stop the process of fracking. My opponents say Fracking should stay since it

alkane‚ the main component of natural gas‚ and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. For this experiment we had created a bio gas generator. A biogas generator is any gas fuel derived from the decay of organic matter‚ as the mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced by the bacterial decomposition of sewage‚ manure‚ garbage‚ or plant crops. Using a slurry mix of manure and cut grass we came up with the hypothesis “The more volume of slurry‚ the more gas will be produced”. Our independent

In ancient Babylon there are writings of a dark elixir oozing from the lands surface‚ even then the people understood how precious this material was. Oil‚ along with Natural gas‚ are exceptionally rich sources of energy. A gallon of oil surpasses the output of five kg of coal‚ ten kg of wood‚ and over fifty times the amount of energy that fifty humans can produce. The richest oil can actually provide one hundred more times

There are several different forms of energy I use throughout the year at home‚ work‚ and while traveling and the amounts of these energies I use varies with the different seasons. At home the main sources of energy used is the fossil fuel‚ natural gas‚ and the secondary energy electricity. Electricity is a secondary source because it is converted by using other primary sources of energy such as coal‚ nuclear‚ or solar energy (“Electricity Basics”‚ n.d). I rely on these two main forms of energy

(also known as fracking)‚ a way of obtaining natural gas that is used today‚ may cause cancer and may speed up global warming’s. Fracking injects a mix of water‚ "chemicals‚ sand‚ and other materials into layers of shale‚ a type of rock" (Source 1). The injection flows down a pipe that is going through the shale. To obtain the natural gas‚ the pressure in the pipe causes the rock around the pipe to crack‚ allowing natural gas to escape. Then‚ the gas flows up the well and is collected. However‚ Hydraulic
