Fossil Fuels America’s Dependency on Fossil Fuels America’s Dependency on Fossil Fuels For the past two hundred years the United States depends more on fossil fuels than any other power source. Without fossil fuels‚ the industrial revolution would not have had as much of an impact making United States what it is today. However‚ we as a country are facing very real problems that we must have to address quickly. We are running out of fossil fuels‚ and soon we will not have fossil fuels to power

Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found in deposits

Hi guys‚ my name is Betty. I am the lead of my group today. I am goanna talk about fuel prices. The issue of fuel is very complex. First‚ what is fuel? It is material such as coal‚ gas‚ or oil that is burned to produce heat or power. And these 3 energies occupy the major parts of fuel use. In the past few years‚ fuel prices went up rapidly. Each country is very sensitive on the price. What causes fuel prices to rise and fall? For instance‚ let us have a look at oil. There are two main reasons

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell of the

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and
