    Extractions: The United States is the world's largest consumer of the two major fossil fuels, petroleum and natural gas. In both cases the U.S. depends on imports to meet its needs. For all the talk of "Middle East oil," our leading supplier for both fuels is Canada. The U.S. maintains strategic reserves of both crude oil and heating oil to ensure continuous supply, but there are no strategic reserves of natural gas. Oilheat is derived from crude oil that is drawn from wells in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and many other countries. In fact, only three of the top 15 countries from which the U.S. imports crude oil are in the Middle East. The fossil fuel component of heating oil is now supplemented by domestically grown plant-based biofuels that are infinitely renewable. Researchers are developing technologies to extract biofuel from non-food plants such as algae to ensure a plentiful, cost-effective supply. Utility gas is refined from a non-renewable, gaseous fossil fuel extracted from oil fields, natural gas fields and coal beds. The U.S. supplements its domestic natural gas production with imports from Canada, Trinidad, Egypt and other countries. There is no renewable supplement to utility gas. There has never been an interruption to the U.S. supply of crude oil or Oilheat, and the U.S. government protects our interests by maintaining strategic reserves of both crude oil and heating oil. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) stores 720 million barrels in Texas and Louisiana - the world's largest emergency stockpile of crude oil. The Northeast Heating Oil Reserve stores 2 million barrels in Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey. In the event of a supply shortage or delivery interruption, the President is authorized to make releases from the reserves.

    Extractions: Chapter 8: Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Where Fossil Fuels Come From www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/timeform.html As the trees and plants died, they sank to the bottom of the swamps of oceans. They formed layers of a spongy material called peat. Over many hundreds of years, the peat was covered by sand and clay and other minerals, which turned into a type of rock called sedimentary. More and more rock piled on top of more rock, and it weighed more and more. It began to press down on the peat. The peat was squeezed and squeezed until the water came out of it and it eventually, over millions of years, it turned into coal, oil or petroleum, and natural gas. Coal The earliest known use of coal was in China. Coal from the Fu-shun mine in northeastern China may have been used to smelt copper as early as 3,000 years ago. The Chinese thought coal was a stone that could burn. Coal is found in many of the lower 48 states of U.S. and throughout the rest of the world. Coal is mined out of the ground using various methods. Some coal mines are dug by sinking vertical or horizontal shafts deep under ground, and coal miners travel by elevators or trains deep under ground to dig the coal. Other coal is mined in strip mines where huge steam shovels strip away the top layers above the coal. The layers are then restored after the coal is taken away. The coal is then shipped by train and boats and even in pipelines. In pipelines, the coal is ground up and mixed with water to make what's called a slurry. This is then pumped many miles through pipelines. At the other end, the coal is used to fuel power plants and other factories.

    Extractions: Facilitate the economically efficient transition of the nation's oil and gas processing and fuels delivery system to ultra clean processing and ultra clean fuels. Petroleum fuels make up the vast majority of energy consumed in the U.S. transportation sector. According to the Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2006, the United States consumed over 15 million barrels per day of petroleum products in 2004, and consumption is expected to increase to nearly 26.1 million barrels per day by 2025. Additionally, U.S. refineries have been operating at full capacity in recent years to meet current U.S. demand. The DOE's Office of Fossil Energy is focused on enhancing the production of a diverse, secure domestic supply of fuels. Efforts include supporting targeted technology development and demonstration projects to further the use of innovative technologies that will lead to reduced environmental impact and enable the development of fuels from unconventional resources, and performing analysis to identify key industry challenges and technology and policy options for ensuring adequate supplies of clean fuels for American consumers.

    Extractions: THE FUTURE OF FOSSIL FUELS Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years now, but the ramifications of their existence is growing as we enter into the Twenty First Century. One may ask how creatures that left the planet millennia ago could possibly affect us now. Well this complex question is simply answered by the phrase "Fossil Fuels". These organic forms of energy play a role in all of our lives as we use them to power virtually everything in our lives from automobiles to light bulbs and so on. As the planet experiences unusual climate changes and the idea fossil fuels running out becomes a reality, society has come to realize that we must discover and create alternate sources of energy. FOSSIL FUEL FACTS Fossil fuels are made up of decomposed pant and animal matter. They take millions of years to form and are harvested from the Earths crust using various methods. Forms of fossil fuels include a hard rock-like substance called coal, oil and natural gas. Coal is mined out of the ground and oil and natural gasses are drilled and pumped out of the ground using machines like the one pictured above. After coal and oil have been acquired they are refined and converted into useful products that can be used as sources of energy. Natural gas on the other hand can be stored and used directly. Fossil Fuels are great in the fact that they emit high amounts of heat when burned, which allows them to be converted into useful energy, but at the same time they have many negative effects. First of all they produce large amounts of air pollution that are blamed for causing destruction to the ozone layer, acid rain and smog. Also they are non-renewable resources which means that once they are gone, they are gone.

    http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Nonrenewable_energy
    
    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Nonrenewable energy is energy from a source which, if used, will be depleted regardless of how it is managed. It cannot be regenerated in a timescare relevant to human beings. As opposed to renewable energy Nonrenewable energy sources break down into two categories: Fossil fuels (petroleum) and nuclear power. We know we have only a finite supply of non-renewable energy sources. This implies one key problem of using oil , a non-renewable fossil fuel, which is the prospect of Peak Oil , i.e. that the world reached peak production of oil and then see it decline as demand continues to increase, leading to dramatically increasing oil prices. Because a significant proportion of oil is produced in places the U.S. does not control (and which are often politically unstable compared to the U.S., such as the Middle East Venezula , and Nigeria ), reliance on oil also draws the U.S. into political conflicts in oil rich countries in order to maintain its own supply. This has the potential to dramatically impact the U.S. economy which is very dependent upon oil as was shown in the 1970s OPEC oil embargo, which lead to an energy crisis in the United States.

    Extractions: Institute for Energy Research SIGN UP FOR THE LATEST UPDATES Contribute Fossil fuels —coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas — are concentrated organic compounds found in the Earth’s crust. They are created from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago in the form of concentrated biomass. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), fossil fuels meet around 84 percent [i] of U.S. energy demand. Fossil fuels make modern life possible. These huge sources of energy work to generate steam, electricity and power transportation system. They make the manufacture of tens of thousands of commercial goods possible. And although fossil fuels have become synonymous with modern industrial society, their potential to solve some of the challenges of everyday existence has been understood throughout history. Scattered records of the use of coal date to at least 1100 BC. By the Middle Ages, small mining operations began to spread in Europe, where coal was used for forges, smithies, lime-burners, and breweries. The invention of fire bricks in the 1400s made chimneys cheap to build and helped create a home heating market for coal. Coal was firmly established as a domestic fuel in much of Europe by the 1570s, and represented the major heating source for buildings, especially in cities located far from easy access to less energy-dense biomass forms. Coal was the first of the fossil fuels to go into widespread use, displacing low-energy firewood as the leading source of fuel in the US, and triggering the country’s industrialization in the second half of the 19th century. Within a few decades, the US went from a net importer of coal (mostly from Britain) to a major exporter of the fossil fuel, a development made possible by mining the nation’s vast reserves of coal.

Fossil fuels are made up of plant and animal matter. When plants and animals died, their bodies decomposed and were buried under layers of earth. Millions of years later we have the three forms of fossil fuel: oil, natural gas and coal. Oil is a thick, black, gooey liquid also called petroleum . It's found way down in the ground, usually between layers of rock. To get oil out, a well is dug. Digging a well is like putting a straw into a can of pop . The oil is then pumped out of the ground, just like when you suck pop up the straw. Oil is carried in pipelines and large tanker ships . A refinery changes the oil into products like gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel. It's also burned in factories and power plants to make

In its simplest sense, such biofuels are biodegradable which means they are derived from organic materials. They are naturally renewable. It can create numerous jobs since our own farmers can practically make them domestically. Consequently, our reliance on foreign sources of fossil fuels will be significantly reduced. Moreover, these biofuels emit nontoxic and cleaner emissions in comparison to traditional fuels. These alternative fuels also do not promote global warming, since the carbon they emit is taken back to the environment. Biofuels are easily utilize but not readily accessible.
