- It is safer and easier to store when compared to other fossil fuels.]]> 2019-05-02 23:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356431139 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356431581 - Flammable and Toxic: Natural gas leaks can be proven to be extremely dangerous.
- Environmental Impact: When natural gas burns, carbon dioxide, monoxide, and other carbon compounds are emitted in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.]]> 2019-05-02 23:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356431581 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356431686 We can manage natural gas by...
    * Maintain the heat system, Make sure you have your furnace inspected regularly by a qualified professional and change filters once per month.
    * Install a programmable thermostat, they help to save energy by automatically turning down the heat in your house while you're away. you can save up to $100 per year in heating costs.
    * Cook up energy savings, Simple things in the kitchen can save on natural gas bills. Use a smaller pan if possible and put a lid on it so the food cooks faster. Use the microwave to heat food whenever possible.

However, because it's a fossil fuel, natural gas isn't a renewable resource. It's a good source of energy today after all, there's plenty of it in the United States.]]> 2019-05-03 00:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356434631 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356439469 I personally think that we use it just as how i thought we would, Because in the United States, most natural gas is burned as a fuel. In 2012 about 30% of the energy consumed across the nation was obtained from natural gas. It was used to generate electricity, heat buildings, fuel vehicles, heat water, bake foods, power industrial furnaces, and even run air conditioners!]]> 2019-05-03 00:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356439469 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356457043 2019-05-03 02:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356457043 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356457305 It's the heat of the earth]]> 2019-05-03 02:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356457305 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356458065 The stream rotates a turbine that activates a generator witch produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however use produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the earth's surface.]]> 2019-05-03 02:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356458065 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356464169  ~ There are many advantages to geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is renewable energy because once water or steam is used, it can be pumped back into the ground.
 ~ It is also clean energy. Geothermal power plants, unlike plants that burn fossil fuels, do not produce greenhouse gases that can be harmful to the atmosphere.]]> 2019-05-03 02:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356464169 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356465469  ~ Potential emissions: Greenhouse gas below Earth's surface can potentially migrate to the surface and into the atmosphere

Calpine Corporation owns 15 of the 18 active plants in the Geysers and is currently the united states largest producer of the geothermal energy. Now in California, with 2,555 megawatts of installed capacity more than any country in the world produces almost 5% of its electricity from geothermal energy.]]> 2019-05-03 03:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356468418 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356611617 In my own option, i think that we use geothermal energy just as i thought we did. And i think that because geothermal heat energy can be recovered and exploited for human use, and it is available anywhere on Earth's surface... Locating and developing geothermal resources can be challenging. This is especially true for the high-temperature resources needed for generating electricity.]]> 2019-05-03 14:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356611617 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356648538 2019-05-03 15:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356648538 srumles220 https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356667577 2019-05-03 16:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/srumles220/cyxxvidg0kz2/wish/356667577
