is trapped in the atmosphere. They are key factors in the Greenhouse Effect, a warming process. Automobiles and transportation are one of the leading sources of GHG emissions following industrial production, both of which rely on the combustion of fossil fuels for power. Carbon dioxide is the main gas that is released from burning fossil fuels such as petroleum. The problem with gas emissions released by industrial production is hard to cap, however, the problem involving the amount of carbon

Examining My Communities Source Of Energy Aaron L. Hunt Argosy University July 11, 2014 Electricity, natural gas and solar energy are the three primary types of energy used in my community. Electricity is the only type of energy I use in my home. Dealing with any energy source, you are bound to have some type of negative impact on the environment. For example, the use of fossil fuels to create electricity omits dust, soot and other materials that are released into the atmosphere. In addition

living organisms, habitats, beautiful sceneries, and landscapes that we have on Aborlan. Coal Mining can also killed innocent miners. For these reasons, I don’t agree on the coal mining that is happening on the Aborlan. Coal is the most important source of fuel. In the process of development, coal mining is one of the major industries, which is contributing towards the destruction of the environment. It causes dangerous damages on water, soil, animals, plants and other part of ecosystem. Coal mining

from two main sources man made sources and natural sources. Man made sources come from combustion of coal used in power plants and exhaust pipes and natural sources come from volcanoes. They have many effects on the environment such as runoffs that lead chemicals into the streams and humans with respiratory illnesses that can worsen if the chemicals become too acidic.There are many ways to reduce acid rain such as cleaning exhaust pipes and using alternative energy sources. Acid rain measures

Insight. The Insight's fuel efficiency was rated at 61 miles per gallon in the city, and 68 miles per gallon on the highway, and its battery did not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet for recharging. By 1999, Honda was selling the Insight in the United States, and winning accolades from environmental groups. In 2000 the Sierra Club gave Honda its Award for Excellence in Environmental Engineering, and in 2002 the Environmental Protection Agency rated the Insight the most fuel-efficient vehicle

"We already have an energy source that is relatively cheap to use and that produces less environmental and public health impact than fossil fuels. That source is nuclear energy." In the following viewpoint, Mario Salazar argues that the dangers of nuclear power have been greatly exaggerated while those of other energy sources have been downplayed. Using a gas leak accident in Bhopal, India, as an example, he maintains that far fewer people have been harmed by the nuclear industry than by other industries
