... raise the need to filter water to a higher extent, adding dbp's (drinkable water bi-products) to the environment. A study was done at selected water treatment facilities in Colorado where the mountain pine beetle had caused damage to the tree's in the area. The results showed higher TOC (total organic carbon) along with dbp's, which relates to lower water quality. Water conservation ... ...
... between .8 and one degree Fahrenheit, precipitation has increased around one percent over the globe and the sea level has risen approximately 6-8 inches, approximately 1-2 inches of the rise caused by melting mountain glaciers and another 1-4 inches has resulted from the expansion of the ocean water as a result of the warmer ocean temperatures. Scientists believe that the increase in greenhouse gas concentration, especially ... ...
... and sent to a repository. A repository is a storage facility that stores high-level nuclear waste deep underground so the waste can not harm or effect people or the environment. (DOE's Yucca Mountain Studies) With the technology that we [humankind] have toady, scientists believe it to be possible to make a repository somewhere. The guidelines of a repository are mainly if the geologic location will ... ...
... example, sufficient winds for widespread electricity production are found in New England, the central Appalachian Mountains, around the Great Lakes, in the upper Midwest, across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states, and along the coastal range of the West Coast. Some experts have estimated that wind harnessed in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas alone could supply all U.S. electricity needs ... ...
... energy density, and it is versatile because it can make plastic, oils, and gasoline. Coal is another fossil fuel that is non-renewable. The removal of coal by ways of mountain top removal damages the earth. This is another reason why we should research renewable energy. Natural gas produces some air pollution, is flammable and explosive, and requires more storage space ... ...
... high latitudes and less than the global mean near the equator. Global warming could raise sea level one meter or more in the next century by expanding ocean water, melting mountain glaciers, and perhaps eventually causing polar ice sheets to melt or slide into oceans. Sea level rise would inundate low-lying areas, drown coastal marshes and swamps, erode beaches, exacerbate ... ...

... ensure good power production. The best locations for positioning a wind turbine include close to a large body of water such as a lake or ocean, or on the top of hills or mountain ridges. Obstructions like trees, buildings, and uneven terrain all serve to reduce wind speed. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy with two or three propeller-like blades, which are mounted ... ...
