Chapter 7 A Closer Look at Energy Resource Options Here we will take a closer look at each western energy resource option. The goal is to under- stand the generating capacity these resources could provide, their depletion rates, and the envi- ronmental impact that the use of each of these resources would have on the western states. We will also discuss some of the economics surrounding the use of each resource. Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels provide most of the U.S. energy needs, yet from resource recovery to combustion, the use of fossil fuels comes with a price to our environment and our health. The oil, gas and coal industry is making great efforts to mitigate the impacts of exploration, extraction, and transportation of fossil fuels on the environment. For example, directional drilling allows reducing the number of drills in recovering an oil or gas reservoir. Nevertheless, fossil resource recovery often comes with a cost to the environment. The mining of coal requires mountaintop removal in Virginia and has poisoned groundwater and rivers in Pennsylvania. The oil spill of the Exxon Valdez killed millions of birds, fish, and mammals in Alaska’s coastal waters, and drilling operations near Farmington, New Mexico, have marred the landscape with a network of roads and pumps. The combustion of fossil fuels releases sulfur, CO2, and other elements such as mercury, a heavy metal poisonous to most living organisms, into the air. These chemical substances that had been sequestered in the crust of the Earth—by living organism and geological deposition— are now being introduced into the atmosphere at a rapid pace. This has caused great concern among atmospheric scientists, who believe this may result in global climate change. Atmospheric studies, computer models, and laboratory experiments all suggest that, in particu- lar, the release of CO2 will result in a global warming of the atmosphere. Temperature data and singular events such as volcanic eruptions, which emit similar pollutants, confirm that the effects of these pollutants will result in a significant change of our world climate. With the world’s population growing, the use of fossil fuels will continue to grow in the near term and so will its impact. In the history of mankind, fossil fuels have played a key role in allowing 111PDF Image | Solar Fuel From The Sky
