Keystone Pipeline is a pipeline that runs from western Canada’s oil sands to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast. The pipeline is expected to carry 830,000 barrels of petroleum per day. Building the Keystone Pipeline would boost the American economy, reduce America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil, and have very little environmental impact. The Keystone Pipeline is a network of pipeline that run from the Canadian Oil Sands in Alberta, Canada to Patoka, Illinois, Steele City Nebraska, and Cushing Oklahoma
whether or not it will create permanent jobs, and will it help our economy thrive if the United States goes through with it. The Keystone XL Pipeline is an oil pipeline expansion that would run through Canada and all the way down through the United States. This will allow the United States to use Canadian oil instead of having to purchase oil from the middle east, which can be quite expensive. Many people are very unsure about the Keystone Pipeline expansion since many have heard bad things about
actually projects. They also argue that the production of this oil creates more emissions and possible environmental hazards than traditional gas extraction methods. Lastly disputants believe that funding this bill with government money would be a step backward

Petroleum, together with coal and oil, is classified as a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. In fact when sea animals and plants die their remains become buried under several thousand feet of mud and sand, and that is how they are formed. Therefore, petroleum is also considered as a non-renewable energy source. Petroleum is formed by hydrocarbons with the addition of certain other materials, mainly sulphur. A hydrocarbon itself is a mixture of carbon and hydrogen. Petroleum
Canadians. Canada took part in the first peacekeeping force during the Suez Crisis in 1956, the blue beret became a source of Canadian pride. Before the crisis, Canada participated in both World Wars.

fracking, injects a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into dense rock formations- shale, tight sandstone or coal beds- to crack the rock and release natural gas”(Hydraulic Fracturing Should Be Banned).

Currently, fracking is legal in the United States and Canada; however, many countries have banned
b. The graph from Table 1 is showing an exponential type of graph because due to the quantity in the population increasing at a fixed percentage per unit for time at 2% per year. Exponential graphs start off slowly however; it leads to the quantity to double each time. One can see that in the exponential growth graph the rate levels off although, the population continues to grow. c. One possible cause of the exponential growth trend graphed in part a. could be the increase in both technology and

(Kvenvolden 2001).With the discovery of several gas hydrate locations, many researchers are working on production of natural gas from hydrates. The field tests are carried out at different places. Mallik is the one such site in the Mackenzie River Delta of Canada [Dallimore2005 and Ashford 2012]. Another one is the Eileen methane hydrate accumulation (i.e., Mount Elbert and Ignik Sikumi tests) on the North Slope of Alaska [Hunter 2011]. Most recently, the completion of the world’s first marine methane hydrate
