United Kingdom Plans to Curb Air Pollution with Renewable Energy
Britain Is Scheduled to Ban All News Petrol and Diesel Cars and Vans Starting In 2040 The price for renewable energy will be economically viable in comparison to fossil fuels close to 2020. Several developed countries are making plans to acquire clean energy to prevent health problems for different communities. The United Kingdom has a serious air pollution problem caused by automobiles and wood burning stoves. In 2015, The Guardian reported that 9,500 premature deaths were caused by air pollution. The Guardian recently reported: “Poor air quality is the biggest environmental risk to public health in the UK and this
Fracking Oil Spill Releases 6,000 Gallons of Oil in Waterbury, Connecticut
Mainland Drilling with Fracking and Offshore Drilling Shows Additional Signs of Unsafe Conditions On Saturday, January 20 the city of Waterbury, Connecticut experienced an oil leak due to a valve malfunction. This incident clearly shows a reoccurring health and environmental problem with drilling for fossil fuel. In this case the oil has leaked out into the Naugatuck River. NBC Connecticut spoke with DEEP Emergency Response Unit Supervisor Jeff Chandler and reported: "There will be a large portion of the oil that has already moved downstream that we’re not going to be able to collect once it gets to the point where
Offshore Drilling on the West Coast Will Mark the First Federal Lease Sales from California Since 1984
The New Plan Could Take As Long As 18 Months to Finalize Last Thursday members of the Trump Administration have begun moving forward with plans to start extracting oil with offshore drilling. This move would mark the first time in decades that the federal government has moved forward with new plans to produce fossil fuels from dangerous practices regarding oil production off the coast of California. With the amount of time that it would take the administration to finalize the plans, it could be very possible that the next president in 2020 could easily reverse these poor decisions. Offshore drilling
The Trump Administration Moves to Expand Offshore Drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Ocean
The Reckless Behavior of the Trump Administration Continues in 2018 History has a way of repeating itself. In the political world, the environment continues to get polluted over and over. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill that killed 11 people and polluted the ocean near Florida, Alabama and the Gulf Coast is the last thing the Trump Administration wants the public to focus on. Several governors along the East Coast oppose offshore drilling due to the dangerous exaction method. In an era where China and other developed countries are investing billions of dollars into renewable energy, it has become the
A New Oregon Law Lifts the Regulations on Pumping Gas at Fueling Stations
Electric Cars Are Taking Over the Roadways, But People Still Want to Debate If A State Law Should Force Consumers to Pump their Own Gas Twenty eighteen has begun with a debate in Oregon and New Jersey that has many people in the United States clinging onto laws that force consumers to have someone pump their gas for them at fueling stations. First, our country should be far more focused on outlawing gasoline-based engines, and forcing people to use renewable energy to fuel their cars. In other developed countries, they are moving away from vehicles that cause pollution at a
France Bans Fracking and the United Kingdom Stalls on Production
France Takes A Step Forward to a Future Fueled by Renewable Energy Countries in Europe have been working to ban and slow down the overall production of fracking. France has recently continued their ban on this energy extraction model. Fracking companies should follow the lead of China and transfer their funds over to renewable energy. It would increase safety for their consumers, and provide additional support to their companies. The guardian reported: 'No new permits will be granted to extract fossil fuels and no existing licences will be renewed beyond 2040, when all production in mainland France and its overseas territories will
A Map to how Renewable Energy will Replace Fossil Fuels
Renewable energy is picking up stem in 2017 with the price for solar and wind continuing to drop overall. With a majority of developed countries around the world competing to gain an edge for the next economical boom; lobbyists in our country will continue to attempt to write and pass laws that prevent the energy revolution from early adoption in the United States. Recently, The Guardian reported that wind farms are expected to cost the same in comparison to fossil fuel stations. In order to give some insight on how renewable energy will develop in our country, I wanted
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Achieve an Important Win in Federal Court
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has picked up support in federal court following a ruling last Wednesday by Federal Judge James Boasberg. Boasberg has been reviewing materials behind Energy Transfer Partners, and has ruled in favor of looking at additional regulation for the Dakota Access Pipeline. TheStreet's coverage on Energy Transfer shows that the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline 'has spilled hazardous liquids near water crossings more than twice as frequently as any other pipeline company in the country this decade.' In addition, Amy Goodman, reporter for Democracy Now!, mentioned that Boasberg ruled last Wednesday that the Trump administration failed
The Failure of the ACHA is a Reflection to the Keystone XL Pipeline
During the end of President Obama's presidency, he wisely put a stop to the Keystone XL pipeline. This intelligent move of preserving the land and water is one of the better decisions Obama made in office. Along with a potential budget that would defund the Environmental Protection Agency, the Trump administration have recently approved a permit to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to complete the project. Our country needs more regulations for executive orders by presidents. Over the past three presidents the number of executive actions has gone up drastically. We need to decrease these actions moving forward for
A Start-Up in Switzerland called Insolight Doubles the Yield in Solar Panels
The solar power industry is taking over 2017 with advanced technology and employment opportunities. During an era of transition, the solar power industry is evolving and adapting at record levels. Reuters reported: "The Trump administration wants jobs and the Trump administration is going to get jobs with solar." - Solar Foundation President Andrea Luecke There is a large debate taking place between the fossil fuel industry, and the renewable energy industry. Last year, the United States added more than 260,000 workers in over 40 states. Within that number, 40 percent of workers are employed by SolarCity/Tesla. With the cost of
