states that the removal is a choice and is not a need. "Blowing Up Mountains: Destroying the Environment for Coal." YouTube. YouTube, 3 July 2012. Web. 12 Nov. 2015. The video was about the coal mining in West Virginia and how it destroys the earth. The maker of the video traveled to the state to observe what was really going on there. They found out instead of just digging for the coal and getting it out they decided to remove the tops and blow the land up. They realized this hurt the whole environment

A fossil-fuel power station is a type of power station that burns fossil fuels such as coal,natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity. Central station fossil-fuel power plants are designed on a large scale for continuous operation. In many countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used. Fossil fuel power stations have rotating machinery to convert the heat energy of combustioninto mechanical energy, which then operates an electrical generator. The prime mover may be

Introduction: Pike River Mine tragedy took place on the 19th November, 2010 and resulted in deaths of 29 workers. Many factors led to this tragedy especially poor decisions made by PRCM and Department Of Labour. In this Report, many aspects of the tragedy will be discussed. Section one: outsourcing and management strategy In terms of business, outsourcing can be defined as the process of assigning company’s business processes to external agencies in order to develop the firm’s performance and to

Contradictory to what many people believe, fossil fuels are not dead dinosaur remains. “In fact, most of the fossil fuels we find today were formed millions of years before the first dinosaurs” (“Fossil Energy: How Fossil Fuels Were Formed,” n.d.). They were formed from prehistoric plants and animals that lived many millions of years ago and are considered non-renewable because they are not sustainable and cannot be easily replaced due to their formation taking billions of years. “When these ancient

China’s Pollution Problem China, one of the worlds largest industrial powers, is now facing a difficult situation. China’s industries rely largely on coal power which emits harmful gases, causing intense air pollution. The Chinese government, in fear that the country would fall in a recession, has not done much to stop these industries, so China has become the second largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. The types of pollution created by this include air pollution and water pollution, both

ESSAY: “Should Australia continue to allow coal seams to be mined when the environmental impacts are unknown ?” Australia should not approve more coal seam gas mining applications and should urgently investigation the environmental impacts of the Fracking Process. The coal seam gas fracking process has been promoted as the new clean energy yet the process has been shown to cause leaks of carcinogenic chemicals and methane gas in multiple countries including America and Australia. It is also linked

Coal is a non-renewable resource that we use to power different things from houses to trains and get our electricity from. In order to convert coal into electricity there are multiple steps in which your have to take. First, you have to mix ground coal with hot air which is then transferred into a furnace. A furnace is an inclosed area in which materials can be heated to a very high temperature inside of the furnace. The hot air and ground up coal will then heat a boiler which contains water inside

Coal is something we’re all familiar with. We know that people mine it, it comes from decayed plant material, and also that it sends a lot of black smoke into the air. However, a lot of people also think that coal is a part of our past and that we’ve moved on to other forms of energy. Coal is very much a part of our present day, though, making up 24% of our world power and 69% of our energy mostly because of the fact that it doesn’t cost very much. So, while coal is cheap, the burning of coal is

production to the state of Kentucky as a replacement for our current standard, coal. While nuclear energy may seem appealing, challenges with cost, waste management, safety, reliability, and societal/environmental impacts make it obvious: the bluegrass would be better off sticking with coal. First, let’s discuss the cost of nuclear energy. Cost per kilowatt-hour seems to favor nuclear, with nuclear energy at 2.1 cents and coal at 3.23 cents per kWh as a national average (according to The Institute for
