The Single Largest air Polluter in the United States!
Coal Burning to Create Electric power.
At a coal plant they produce Electric power through the act of combusting coal.
The object of Coal burning is to produce Thermal energy into Mechanical energy with the final product being electric energy.
Fossil Fuel produces over 50% of Americas Electricity but the production of Electric power in this way is very damaging to our environment.
Burning coal produces:
Smog
Acid Rain
Global Worming
Toxic Air Emissions
Soot
World Wide the production of Energy through burning Coal produces is about40%. Can you imagine how much damage this is causing to our environment.
Advantages:
Lots of energy can be produced with low costs.
They are very a very efficient way of producing our energy other than the pollution that is emitted into our environment.
Disadvantage's:
Pollution
Global warning due to emission of tons of carbon dioxide
To produce enough energy for so many people large amounts of coal need to be mined which can be dangerous and tedious.

Its domain is .net
This site was created by Lyle Zapato.
It was last updated 2005.
Noy very reliable credentials
Sources were very well documented
Does not seem to be altered or forged
Yes the links work
Their view points are not really bias but insaine.
many link to it including Amozon.com
It is not rated at all.
No real info given of the author on google
No It does not all add up.
This web site was put up in order to sell a horrible idea.
This is most definatly satirical.

My mark on the world!
Well first of all one of my largest marks on this planet is the Co2 I have produced over the years through the act of breathing. In my opinion I think that we should declare a national holiday in which all people hold their breath or breath in small little baggies in which we can then either fill a rocket and send it into the sun or maybe just shoot it somewhere else. Through this process of not producing extra Co2 in the air I think that it will probably postpone Global Warming and or bring more snow to Colorado. I think that this National Holiday should be called Jeff's Mom's day which should be held on January 30th in honor of her Birthday.
Another mark I have made on this earth is a ton of waste. What am I going to do about all this waste, you may ask? Well here is the answer: I think that the most logical place to put it is space or the sun, so that it is completely out of my way. Inorder to do this I think I want to build a very large elevator into space in which my waste and others can be lifted into space. After this waste is lifted into space I hope to huck it out far enough so that when it comes back into our solar system it would be a very beautiful comit, in which in the year 2072 would hit the Earth killing all humans which would solve Global Worming and over Population. How crazy would that be! The future looks bright!

The Final Exam Question!
When I was in the boy scouts they taught us a saying when we went camping. "Leaving only your footprints and take only your memories with you." Whether we like it or not our daily lives make an impact on the world around us. Nicely put we make a difference. I would like you to think about the footprints you leave in one day of your life. You should incorporate as many of the fallowing aspects of the Environment issube course into your answer.
