Fossil Fuels/Mining
The prospect of deepsea mining provides a predicament for environmental activists and policymakers globally. It has largely been accepted that a transition from gas to electric vehicles would help decrease the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Despite this fewer than one percent of vehicles on the road today are electric vehicles.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is a colorless, odorless gas that has been brought center stage in the debate around renewable energy.
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a technology that has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and other industrial facilities. Colorado has been identified as one of three places in the southwestern United States with possible geographical sequestration formations that would allow it to serve as a regional sequestration sink. There are numerous risks that carbon sequestration carries.
In 2018, a coal-fired train in Southwest Colorado started what was the sixth-largest fire in Colorado’s history at the time. The fire not only destroyed 54,000 acres and cost over forty million dollars to contain, it also desecrated the nearby economies and shut down the San Juan National Forest for the first time in 113 years.
Why is 2020 the most active wildfire year in history for the Western United States? Climate change.
On August 13, 2020, the Colorado Cameron Peak fire began. As of October 23, the fire is only 57% contained and has burned 206,977 acres; it is now the largest wildfire in Colorado history. The magnitude of the Cameron Peak fire is minuscule, though, when
The globe is facing a plastic pollution problem. Single-use plastics have undoubtedly played an important role in international commercial development, but they now saturate the world’s coastlines and landfills. However, heightened public and private action and overall awareness indicate an increased willingness by the international community to develop the types of sustainable solutions necessary to effectuate long-term change.
