PA unlikely to reach Alternative Energy Goals

 Pennsylvania's targets for renewable energy are set to max out this year, unless action is taken. Democratic leader, Joanna McClinton, said her party would like to raise the standards to help increase new green energy. But, the private sector is the one who ultimately makes the choice. Advocates for renewable energy say the state needs to increase there standards. The amount of carbon emissions keeps increasing, and action needs to be taken. 

Climate change is a huge topic today. Everyday, we are contributing more and more to a changing climate. PA needs to take action now and help contribute to bettering our environment for our future. Funding is necessary, but the environment is more important. Both sides need to work together in order to save Earth in the future.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
