It is so vital to our life that if the earth’s oil supply were to run out within the next 20 years‚ it would completely cripple the United States and its economy. We use oil and other fossil fuels for transportation (of goods‚ food and people)‚ fertilizer‚ heating‚ cooling‚ to create plastics‚ to run the machines necessary for the production of almost any product that you can think of‚ such as: lighting‚ planes‚ construction equipment‚ automobiles

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

made renewable fuels.” Ethanol is an increasing important aspect of our society and its popularity is becoming more widespread on a daily basis. Ethanol‚ a substance made out of Sugar-cane‚ maize‚ sorghum‚ wheat ‚ and other grains‚ has become one of the main viable source of energy in the world. In countries like South Africa and Brazil‚ fuel contains around 24 percent ethanol (much of it 100 percent)‚ 76 percent gasoline. In the United States‚ in most service stations‚ fuel is blended 10

Problem: greenhouse gas pollution Reason: burning fossil fuels Sub-reason: create much carbon dioxide Solution: phasing out fossil fuel Example: not building any new coal-burning power plants Pollution whether it is vehicular‚ electrical or industrial is the main contributor to the global warming. Most of the greenhouse gas emissions come from the burning of fossil fuel for energy such as electricity and transport. When oil‚ gas or coal burns‚ carbon contained within it combines with oxygen

During the World War II‚ the fossil fuels played an important role in the battle because all the participants in the war needed combustible; therefore‚ countries as Venezuela and Norway started to export petroleum to the countries that were in the dispute. Subsequently‚ all the countries’

its effect on the environment has brought substantial public attention to the renewable and alternative power sources. The technology of using alternative fuel for cars besides gasoline has been advancing rapidly over the years. In light of this‚ car manufacturers have introduced hybrid cars which combine two or more sources of energy as fuel. However‚ many argue that most of these sources‚ such as biodiesel‚ ethanol‚ methanol‚ and natural gas‚ have either consume other types of oil or combine with

Unfortunately‚ fossil fuel is the source of energy we use to sustain ourselves. Fossil fuels emit large quantities of greenhouse gas‚ which increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Our relationship to the carbon cycle and Earth’s energy budget has multiple layers. Almost everything we use requires a form of energy. To power technology‚ we burn fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels releases copious amounts of carbon back into the atmosphere. As stated before‚ we use fossil fuels everyday. Fossil
