Crude Oil is obtained by drilling wells into the underground reservoirs, often using oil rigs and platforms. The advantages are its high energy density, very efficient fuel source, and its ability to be refined into a wide variety of products, such as gas and chemicals. The disadvantages are drilling problems, air pollution, and oil spills that can harm the environment. An environmental impact is that it contributes to global warming.

1. It is obtained Via Nuclear Fission via water, steam, magnets, and other materials.

2. Its a clean energy source, It creates job opportunities, and high power outputs.

3. Uranium is non-renewable, which is a needed material, the nuclear waste that I produced is toxic, and radioactive, and is very expensive to build

4. Is one of the lowest pollutants for clean energy, as it produces less carbon or pollution than other kinds of fuels, unless it goes nuclear and malfunctions.

How it is obtained: it is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining

Advantages

a) Clean enough to be used indoors

b) easy to transport

c) It can be used to boost diesel-powered trucks, allowing them to burn more cleanly and get higher range out of their diesel

Disadvantages

a) requires specialized equipment to handle it, as to store it as a liquid you need a pressure tank as well as pressure-rated equipment

b) It is heavier than air, therefore when there is a leak, it will stay down near the ground, and potentially asphyxiate anyone nearby

Environmental impact: As it burns much cleaner than gasoline or diesel, it is safer for the environment compared to those fuels

Shale oil is obtained by mining and processing the shale rocks. It is first extracted from the earth by surface or underground mining.

Cheaper to generate electricity from gas, and the process releases up to 50% less carbon than coal does.

Requires a tremendous amount of water, pollutes drinking water in communities, and releases greenhouse gases.

Land degradation along with habitat distraction is one of the environmental impacts. After the mining it can be difficult to turn the land back to its original state.

How is it obtained

Coal is obtained primarily through mining (surface or subsurface).

2-3 Advantages of obtaining/using it

One advantage of obtaining/using coal is that it is one of the most abundant fossil fuels in the world. Another advantage is that it is cost-effective and cheaper than other gases and energy sources. Coal also happens to have a high energy density, so when it's burned it produces a significant amount of energy.

2-3 Disadvantages of obtaining/using it

One major disadvantage of obtaining/using coal is air pollution. It releases lots of very harmful toxins when burned. Another disadvantage is the greenhouse gas emissions it produces, like carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change. Lastly, both the surface and subsurface mining required to get coal cause significant environmental damage like erosion, pollution, and habitat destruction.

1 Environmental impact (different from your disadvantages

Another environmental impact, aside from the disadvantages is land degradation and habitat loss. Surface mining in particular causes severe land degradation due to large areas of forests and ecosystems being cleared to access the coal deposits. These things lead to loss of biodiversity and long-term ecological damage.

1. This method is extracted from the sand by methods of surface mining and in-situ extraction.

2. Oil Tar is used for waterproofing equipment and wood preservation.

3. No oil tar is not a renewable resource and it's worth a lot of money.

4. Two environmental impacts are that upon the extraction it releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air from the oil and the machines. A second one is that oil tar consumes vast amounts of freshwater.

Advantages of obtaining it:

Energy production  -  is a source of energy for powering transportation

Economic Growth - creates jobs and stimulates growth providing income for workers

Versatility - used in the production of various products, such as plastics, fertilizers, and chemicals

3 disadvantages:

Environmental Pollution: Oil extraction and consumption contribute to air and water pollution, with oil spills harming marine ecosystems

Resource Depletion: Crude oil is a finite resource, and over-reliance on it can lead to depletion, eventually making it harder to obtain.

Climate Change: Burning oil releases greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, worsening climate change.

Environmental impact:

Crude oil extraction and consumption contribute significantly to deforestation, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss as companies clear land for drilling and mining operations
