Resource summary
Energy Sources
Mining
Mine reclamation: A mine is converted back into a usefull space for the immediate area
Steps: 1.Install drains 2. Deposit topsoil 3. reeseed with selfsustaining seed mixture
Depletion Time: Time frame where 80% of the mineral resources are predicted to be depleted
Open pit/Surface mining: Removes shallow deposits
Acid mine Drainage: polluted water with acid from mine metals
Fracking
Shooting water between shale layers in order to release natural gas
Can cause aquifer contaminationand seismic activity
System began a while ago, however we are only just now experiencing the environmental effects
Non Renewable
Coal and other fossil fuels have always been the overall main fuel source
Combustion is used to produce steam to power turbines
Change is the usage of energy sources over time
Coal has decreased
Nuclear has stayed around the same
Natural gas has increased
Renewable enrergy overall has increased
