    HowThe Different Ways to remove oil...
    There are three different ways
    Remove Oil
    Oil Wells- Information found on eHow
    Positive:
    An oil well can provide employment for people. Oil wells also help insure that the more production that go
    to removeother countries like, China and India, allows the United States to control gasoline and fuel production from crude oil. Each option has its own positive
    Negative:
    When people have to search for places with oil, most of the time they use seismic waves. Using the seismic waves causes whales
    and negative results.
    Oil Platforms
    Drilling Rigs
    Wells
    Oil Tankers
    SPECIAL FACTS!!
    The first
    other marine animals to become dissoriented and can cause whales to sometimes beach themselves. Also, on land, when a oil-well is found, landing fields, construction, roads and construction buildings are added for the workers who live at the construction site. When things like this happen, it disturbs the animal inhabitants and it can damage the landscape. Lastly, transportation of oil removal happened before zero AC!! That'sfrom the wells can cause 300- 500 spills a long timeyear. Sadly, the spills are expected to grow as the population grows. When an oil spill occurs, the water with oil in it begins to rise with toxins that we've been removing oil.
    The Oil Spill
    effect humans, marine life, and wildlife in the Gulfarea that depend on the water and animals in the contaminated water source. The only way to dispose of Mexicothe waste is by dumping it into the ground or into the ocean.

    All About Oil Spills- This page has extra information about Oil in general and the Oil Spills.
    Natural Gas:
    Natural gas is formed when layers of buried animals and plants are exposed to intense heat and pressure over the course of thousands and millions of years. The removal of natural gas is regulated by the state and federal government.

    Negative-
    Even though oil provides positive affects on the economy, it provides many negative affects to the environment. When the oil-fired plants burn oil, large bodies of water are used and dangerous gases such as methane, mercury compounds, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. When the plants are built, they can destroy habitats of plants and animals in the area and the waste from the plant can cause land contamination if not properly disposed of. Oil refineries release the treated waste water, which contains pollutents and is normally put in streams. At the refineries, crude oil is removed. Crude oil is made up of sulfur, metals, and nitrogen. Lastly, drilling for oil can cause any underground water supplies to become contaminated.

    Negative-
    Even though natural gas provides positives for the people, it is just like oil- there are negative affects on the environment. The extraction of natural gas and the building of natural gas power plants is used by drilling, destroys the natural habitats of animals and plants, erosion, landslides, and the loss of soil productivity. The burning of natural gas produces nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. The methane in natural gas is the primary component and can be emitted if the gas isn't burned completely.

    Negative-
    Coal has just as many negative affects as it does positive. When coal is burned, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury compounds are released, as well as mercury being trapped inside of the coal. Water is needed to help purify the coal. When rain falls on the coal, however, the water runs off into the piles and flushes the heavy metals like lead and arsenic from the coal and the rain/ water is used to remove any impurities in the coal. Water near a coil mining location can become contaminated, and in return kill the animals and fish that drink and live in the water. Soil near coil-fired plants can become contaminated as well.

    On our Page!
    On our page you can learn about fossil fuels, hydroelectricity, and nuclear power. On each page, there will be a brief discription of the energy and then the positive and negative causes associated with the energy. If you have any suggestions on a kind of energy you would like to learn about, post that kind of energy in the comments section. Thanks!
    Some of the Subjects on our page are seen here in this graph...
