GEOG 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Oil Spill, Passive Solar Building Design, Peak Oil
Document Summary
Dinosaurs and species died and were covered with sand and rock and heat changes brought about fossil fuels. Large impacts on economy in area i. e. fishing industry. Accelerated oil industry"s need for more stringent policy. Point at maximum rate of oil consumption. Point of time where demand continues to rise but supply is dropping off. Coal contains a large amount of sulfur. Mining can cause run off into lakes streams and water systems. High air polluntants can cause co2 green house gases. Removal of carbon from coal to limit amount of gas released. Building something a specific way in order to allow maximum sunlight for energy during the winter and will protect from the sun in the summer. Using organic material and converting it to a form of fuel. Using pesticides to grow the corn causes pollution. Amount of energy to produce biofuels wastes more energy than the. Use technology we have and resources we have and make better.
