Shale gas is natural gas formed from being trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade‚ and interest has spread to potential gas shale’s in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; due to rising oil prices gas prices have also been affected by the rise therefore there was big demand for gas in the US which in 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government’s

Conservation versus Preservation: To whom it may concern My name is Michelle lane I am writing this letter to share my thoughts about preserving the Bridger Teton. This big stretch of land has not been affected by human technology. It has been preserved in its natural state. It is important to us as human beings. This stretch of land has a lot of trees‚ wild animals‚ and wild vegetation that call this stretch of land home. We cannot disturb it in the name of progress. We need to make sure we

1973-1974 Oil Embargo The oil embargo of 1973 was one of the most significant events regarding the United States macroeconomy. This event was a refusal of Arab countries to sell oil to pro-Israeli countries. The embargo began on October 17‚ 1973‚ when the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries‚ or OAPEC‚ declared they would immediately cut oil production by 5 percent and will continue until Israel withdrew from the West Bank‚ Gaza‚ and Jerusalem. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait soon followed

Do Gas Stations cause soil pollution? Soils are extremely important parts of every ecosystem. They are a home to many microbes and provide vital nutrients to the plants that live in them. pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ and most organisms have a very small range of pH values in which they can survive. 7 is considered neutral‚ lower than 7 is acidic (lemon juice‚ rain water) and above 7 is basic (bleach‚ soap). Lots of urban areas are dependent on car transportation‚

Conservation vs Preservation SCI/275 03/09/14 Peter Kennedy Dear Editor‚ I am writing to you today because of the Bridger Teton National Forest. I am reaching out to you and appealing to you as a conservationist. I believe that this large area of land can be very useful because of the resources it can provide. It can provide gas and oil so this way we don’t have to be dependent on it from others around the world. We don’t have to rely on foreign sources when it comes to this.

of the ’Peak Oil’ theory‚ the world is expected to face severe oil shortages in the near future. Then‚ how can mankind meet its energy needs? Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached‚ after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells‚ and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells. The aggregate production rate from an oil field over time

Fluctuating Gas Prices Kyle Bonzelaar Davenport University Gas prices have been on a rapid rise the last few years and not many people are happy with it. It limits those on a budget for how much they can do and how much they are willing to drive.
