economic benefits to the society. However, these statements only focus on the bright side of fracking. They did not indicate how fracking will affect the environment. Since 2010, fracking has raised many concerns about environmental impacts, including water contaminations, earth tremors, and air pollutions. Also, anti-fracking activists highlight the lacking of operational information and data of fracking companies makes tremendous toxic substances flow into the earth. They believe government should enforce

build up in the forests and swamps it is compressed by the heavy weight of the plants and water. This weight with high temperatures removes the moisture from the organic decaying matter. This creates peat. Over millions of years peat was covered by sand and clay and other minerals. These sediments changed into rocks called sedimentary rocks. Rock continued to pile up and compress the peat. This caused the water to be squeezed from the peat. Over millions of year this process turned peat into fossil

stable and easy to store. Although the renewable energy is unlimited and eco-friendly, the costs of built and operate it are expensive. So, the fossil fuels are the best energy for us to use now. Peak oil crises affect our life, and we cannot find any energy to replace it. For me, I am worrying that the Peak Oil Crises can make our living standard go down because we cannot rely on the renewable

Introduction Open educational resources (OER) are any resources available at little or no cost that can be used for teaching, learning or research (Educause, 2010). In 2008, South Africa experienced widespread load shedding affecting the domestic and industrial electricity users as the result of the lack of capacity by Eskom, the South African power utility. South Africa is an energy intensive country and as such production and raw materials processing are energy intensive activities. The coal is

The predicament of peak oil does not just effect a fraction of the population, instead, it effects the whole world. In order to prepare for the occasion when we will no longer have conventional liquid energy the world will need to develop renewable energy sources that will be capable of sustaining the worlds energy requirements. If nothing is accomplished, we will face an intense catastrophe around the world that could theoretically end all of our lives. The peak oil crisis can be averted if we take

and fast. The global population is increasing tremendously increasingly straining our remaining fossil fuels. According to Dr. Walter Reid, environmental research scientist the population has more than doubled since 1950 and is yet to reach its peak. Our population is growing beyond what our resources are capable of. Also the consummation of energy per-person has increased. In the U.S. an average home consumes over 10,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year. That is roughly equal to the energy

full range of public benefits and goods: The Peak District National Park provides a wide range of public benefits (ecosystem services) some of which are not widely recognised.  The natural environment is vital for our current and future wellbeing and prosperity. The Office for National Statistics has estimated the value of the UK’s ‘natural capital’ to be £1.6 trillion.  The Peak District provides a range of public benefits such as clean air and water, flood prevention, carbon storage, biodiversity

So as I usually do, I woke up with my 2007 hairstyle sticking straight up. “Ugh great, what a beautiful morning, can’t wait to hike up Harney Peak!” Shaelyn moaned. Oh yeah did I mention that we are going to Harney Peak today? Anyways as I was saying, my sister Kayla and I got out of bed and raced to the shower to see who would have to have to use cold water. I would have screamed at her but I was too busy wondering what that amazing smell was. Guessing that my grandma made pancakes before we go,

are extremely close to the peak oil production, a state of extracting the maximum oil each year ("The Peak Oil Theory Explained"). After the occurrence, oil output will drastically deplete while the price increases. Therefore, since energy is essential in life, we are in need of alternative sources. This essay will be explaining the solution, which is hydroelectricity: what it is, how it works and the implications it brings. Hydro is derived from Greek origins meaning water. In other words, hydroelectricity

breaks. Upon journeying up Emory Peak in Big Bend National Park, Texas, my nineteen-year-old self was anxiously determined to successfully get to the top of this large mountain. My brother, my girlfriend and myself were certain we acquired the skills and strength to make it to the top of Emory Peak and back down in a considerably short amount of time. However, the heat was boiling us and it was taking longer than we had initially anticipated. We quickly ran out of water for drinking, mistakably did not
