the use of fossil fuel in history‚ people used to use coal as a main source energy. After the second half of the industrial revolution‚ people switched from coal to oil‚ and then natural gas. Nowadays‚ coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are the three main energy resources. The exploitation rate never catches up to the consumer rate. There are three main reasons. First of all‚ as the population increases‚ more fossil fuels are in demand. Secondly‚ most developing countries use more fossil fuels in order to

Global Warming Cause: Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants Our ever increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity production‚ and burning coal accounts

Weak safeguards and inadequate oversight fail to protect our communities from harm by the rapid expansion of fossil fuel production using hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." Americans shouldn’t have to accept unsafe drinking water just because natural gas burns more cleanly than coal. Many companies don’t play by the rules that do exist and the industry has used

However‚ with the threat of global warming on the horizon‚ as well as the depletion of fossil fuels used in the production of these plastics‚ there has been an outcry for a greener alternative to plastic. Hence‚ bioplastics have emerged as a promising option to replace conventional plastic packaging to mitigate our addiction to oil and lessen

Most biodiesel is made either from crops‚ recycled cooking oil‚ or animal fats. Among them‚ recycled cooking oil is the most effective resource to make biodiesel since it does not compete with food resources. Biodiesel

Before we define something whether they are good for society or not‚ we should consider what a good society is. In thinking about the characteristics of a good society‚ different people tend to emphasize different things that they consider to be important. However‚ there might be some characteristics of a good society that nearly everyone would agree on and what factors

and at the same time‚ the declining availability of fossil fuel‚ many countries seek cheap‚ alternative ways to produce electricity for their people. As nuclear energy is cheap because of the large amount of uranium reserve on Earth and that it is also able to produce large amount of electricity‚ it has become the most likely solution to solving this issue. 3. The significance of the issue Nuclear energy has the potential to succeed fossil fuels as the main source of generating electricity. This

Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of carbon dioxide which allows radiative forcing and contributes for global warming and the fear that it can all run out.
