Introduction

This blog will focus on fire but more specifically, on petroleum, natural gas, forest fire, energy efficiency and management as well as energy and power. Fire is a combustion of certain chemicals combined with oxygen in the air that typically gives off a bright light, heat and smoke. Fire can be deadly as it can destroy homes, wildlife habitat, timber and can also pollute the air with emissions such as carbon dioxide, that is harmful to human health. For many centuries, we have used petroleum as fuel. Petroleum is a yellow, black liquid that is mixed with hydrocarbons. Natural gas consists of mostly methane and hydrocarbons. Due to industrial factories using petroleum and natural gas as their energy source, it has caused great damage to the environment. Some of the material that have been produced that contain natural gas have caused wildfires to occur. Forest fires are an uncontrollable fire that occurs within nature, emitting carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing more pollution and harm to wildlife. In reducing carbon dioxide and global warming, we have become energy efficient by using solar power and wind power. Energy efficiency is achieved by using less energy when using or making our daily products. Wind power is a sustainable way to generate electricity because it does not produce pollution. The decrease of air pollution will be the result of an increase in renewable energy. Becoming aware of the components that lead to a fire will lead us to obtain more energy and become more power efficient.

FUTURE


According to ASE, the United States has made plans for the future usage of energy and electricity. “The United States has a goal of reducing energy intensity of the GDP 25% by 2030, relative to 2005.” Their plans consist of managing our country and making this place more energy efficient. They will create more energy efficient building in order to save money and sustain our environment. They have began to take steps toward a more energy efficient lifestyle. "From years 2010 to 2012, the state has allocated $3.1 billion to be funneled into energy efficiency and conservation programs, $718 million has been mandated for low-income-sector efficiency programs, and over $2 billion for retrofits of existing structures.(ASE)" A portion of the spendings from 2010 to 2012 was done as a lending hand to help the low income programs be a part in changing our environment.
