Meagib Alqahtani Research proposal, final draft IELI 2420 February 4, 2018 Natural gas as a better source of energy compared to Oil Topic discussion This is an investigation on the reasons why natural gas could be the preferred source of energy in the world. The paper is more centralized on making a comparison between natural gas and oil basing on several factors such as efficiency, costs, effects on the environment, economic impact, social impacts and geographical effects of the use of each. An investigation of the advantages of using natural gas over oil and some of its disadvantages will reveal how natural gas could be a better source of energy. Therefore, the study is designed to try and create awareness of the possibility …show more content…

Moreover, in the near future, there would be no choice as the oil reserves will be depleted and it is better to start adopting new and better sources of energy not only for economic and environmental purposes but to ensure energy sustainability in the future (ABA, 2013). Personally, I have witnessed the negative impacts of overdependence on oil, and one of it is the increasing oil prices which have negatively affected many economies especially those that do not produce oil. Another negative effect of over-dependence on oil is the devastating effects that it brings to the environment. It is with reference to these issues that I chose to carry out this study to analyze the advantages of using natural gas over oil. Several studies have been previously carried out with regard to energy, including the study on the effects that different sources of energy have on the environment (USEIA, 2009), but none of them focused on the advantages of natural gas, and that is exactly what this research will …show more content…

Data for this research will be collected through interviews, a review of previous records. An interview with an expert in the field of energy will be conducted to collect relevant information that may help to prove that natural gas is a better source of energy than oil. And a literary review and analysis of all the relevant work that has been done previously on this and related topics will be discussed. From the previous and current energy records, a lot of information will be collected about the different factors and trends in the use of energy in the world. Some of this information will include the trends in the use of various sources of energy, the economic impact of natural gas and oil, the environmental, social and political impact of the use of these two sources of

  • Analysis Of Hope It's In Your Backyard By Neil Demause

    810 Words  | 4 Pages

    Fracking the Good and The Bad In the essay, “Hope It’s in Your Backyard,” by Neil deMause, he wrote about the positive and negative factors of fracking and its effect on the world. The ramifications of fracking could be devastating to the earth with regards to natural gas and oil. It is debated that fracking, in the United States, would stimulate economic growth, lower gas prices, create more jobs, and make our country independent for oil and natural gas. The effects of burning fossil fuels is negative to the earth’s climate and the cause of some pollution. Natural gas is cheaper, but its effect on our ecosystem may be devastating.

    Throughout the centuries, humans have been attempting to find a way to power homes, cars, and other luxuries in the most efficient way possible. Coal and oil were two major sources that begin being exploited during the industrial revolution. Both have caused great controversy over the years from lawsuits to strikes. A new way to drill oil, hydraulic fracturing, was discovered and was an efficient means of drilling until its effects became prevalent. Also, when coal began to run out, a new method called mountaintop removal took hold, but continues to damage the earth.

    Another benefit from switching to clean-burning natural gas is a decrease in pollutants in the air, which will decrease airborne illnesses and premature deaths. He discusses the impact of energy independence for countries that rely on insecure regions for their energy needs. For example, the U.S. will rely less on the Middle East, Europe will rely less on Russia and India will rely less on Iran. By presenting fracking as the answer to the world’s problems, Pierce counters the arguments of critics who cite the environmental problems of fracking. His paper is one-sided because he leaves out the other side of the debate by ignoring any negative aspects of fracking.

    The air quality improves by using natural gas to generate electricity instead of coal. The use of natural gas reduces carbon dioxide emissions causing a decrease in air pollution. Some argue that since fracking allows us to obtain more oil, our dependency on foreign oil will decrease. Since our dependency should decrease other foreign countries will lower their tax rates. They will lower taxes because they know we are not dependent of them and their oil.

    Since the industrial revolution,oil energy consumption has risen considerably. The majority of this energy consumption is supplied by fossil fuel like coal and natural gas. For some time,there has been a lot of talk about the controversial method of extracting natural gas i.e Fracking or Hydraulic fracturing. In simple words,Fracking describes recovery of natural gas from the deep layers inside the earth. In this method porous rock is fractured with the use of water,sand and chemicals in order to release the enclosed natural gas.

    The oil and gas industry are one of the most prominent industries in the world with many countries participating in drilling operations. Saudi Arabia, UAE, China, and the USA are some of the biggest names in oil and gas production nowadays. A process of extracting natural gases called Fracking has been the subject of debate in recent years with many people concerned with the risks associated with Fracking. Shale gas is the primary gas extracted from fracking operation and experts predict it will make up about 30 percent of the world’s natural gas production by 2040 (LSE, 2022), which has made many countries and business interested in the gas due to the high profit margins. Others are more concerned with the negative impacts that fracking might

    A third way that fracking is a useful resource is that It lowers energy cost. The United states can produce natural gas for only $2.50 per thousand cubic feet making it the world’s best and cheapest liquefying technology. Robert Hefner points out that the cost of heating 65 million American home by natural gas has fallen $20 Billion annually. Plus, The comparative decrease in natural gas cost for low-income households was more than $10 billion. Since then the United states has become the world’s low-cost producer of natural gas.

    They are two crucial aspects to the topic of energy, but are not included by the UN. A determinant reason that millions of people across the globe have to resort to biomass to cook is that the cost associated with modern energy makes it less accessible (Birol, p.1). This unfortunate situation is due to many reasons. A key reason is that many of the resources required to install energy plants are disproportionally controlled by a few geopolitical actors. This causes large fluctuations on the commodity prices all over the globe, making not only modern energy, but also other basic human development targets, such as shelters and transportations less attainable (Regnier, p.2).

    To what extent should we sacrifice the environment to become energy independent? Today in America, fracking has become a popular mean to extract oil and gas as a new technology, but unfortunately the process poses as a controversial issue throughout the country. Various issues are debated upon the topic as some say it is a better source of alternative fuel, while others argue that hydraulic fracturing, also referred to as fracking, is detrimental to citizens’ health and the environment. Altogether, we should banned the new technology of fracking before it provides long term, detrimental damage -- economic, environmental, and health-wise.

    For instance, the stoves we use to cook our food run on gas, so does the heat water for our daily showers. In addition, to dry our clothes we use natural gas and for cars owners, we use gas or diesel to get from point a to point b. The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA) states that natural gas has many qualities that make it an economical energy source. However, there are environmental issues associated with the production and use of natural gas (EIA, 2014).
