• Diverse sources (not Mideast)
– Venezuela, Nigeria, etc.
• Opening domestic sources
– Alaska controversy
• Polluting technologies?
– Oil shale extraction – Synthetic fuels (coal-to-oil)
• Can be polluting, dangerous when extracted • Methane bed drilling pollutes

Distribution of Estimates of Ultimately Recoverable World Crude Oil (1975-1993)
– Half as much CO2 as coal
• More efficient
– 10% energy lost
• 60-year supply at current rates
Disadvantages of natural gas
• Difficult to transport
– Pipelines – Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) tankers
Effects on health
• Black Lung Disease (miners)
• Respiratory illnesses (public)
Effects on land
• Coal sludge releases
• Hardpan at strip mines • Mountaintop removal • Huge water use
• Increasing source of major wars, human rights abuses

Global trends in oil
• Growing use in China (+10%/year)
• Japan, Europe depend on Mideast • New reserves around Caspian Sea
– Nearly size of Saudi Arabia
FOSSIL FUELS 85% of the world’s commercial energy
COAL
NATURAL GAS
OIL
20 richest countries consume:
• 50% of coal • 80% of natural gas • 65% of oil
U.S. energy consumption 9%
– Slurry pipelines
Effects on air
• Greenhouse gases
– 3/4 sulfur dioxide – 1/3 nitrogen oxides – 1/2 carbon dioxide
• Toxics
– Mercury – Uranium
Acid rain
Heat value of coal types
Anthracite Bituminous Subbituminous Lignite
51% of U.S. use in coal
Energy lost from coal
65% lost in power plants
10% lost on transmission lines (stray voltage)
Nigerian women protest, 2002
Ijaw women occupy Chevron oil docks
Protest against pollution, lack of local jobs
Websites on oil industry and global opposition
Mining/metals Other industry Transportation Other
COAL
Fossilized, condensed carbon-rich fuel
10 X reserves of oil/gas, last 200 years at present rate
Coal mines
• Tall stacks deposit farther
Coal scrubbers
The future? Hydrogen fuel cells
NATURAL GAS
Methane, other Gases in bedrock
Advantages of natural gas
• Cleaner to burn
Rainforest Action Network http://www.ran.org Project Underground http://www.moles.org
– 70% of exports
• Drilling in Amazon rainforest
Opposition to oil companies
• Construction of roads, pipelines on Indian lands • Displacement of Indians, • deforestation • Oil leaks into rivers larger than Valdez spill
Ecuador Indian occupations
Texaco withdrew 1992, Arco met demands
Lawsuit against Texaco in U.S. courts, 1999
Oil in Nigeria
Largest producer in Africa, mainly In Niger Delta
Acidity of rain
• pH of 6.0
– Kills insects, crabs
• pH < 5.0
– Kills fish, trees
Sources of Nitrogen Oxides
Transport ation Electrical plants Other
• Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide create acid rain

Global Oil Production for Resources of 1800, 2200, and 2600 Billion Barrels
Surface (strip) mine, Western U.S.
Underground (shaft) mine, Eastern U.S.
Coal cheaper, but polluting
Much Eastern U.S. coal has high-sulfur content, more expensive to mine Much Western U.S. coal has low-sulfur content, cheaper to mine But mining in semi-arid West more damaging to land.
