55 Gallon Plastic Drum 55 Gallon Plastic Drum 55 gallon plastic drums are conveniently used in industry and agriculture. Therefore, the used or worn out drums can be recycled, and the quantity of the plastic feedstock is significant. Recycling has several aspects of the environmental impact. Firstly, when the used drum is recycled, it is not stored at the landfill sites, and thus no water or land pollution takes place. Secondly, it becomes a secondary resource, and therefore less primary resources are used. Thirdly, the environmental impact of the recycling process should be taken into the account: if recycling ...

The prices of oil globally and indeed locally have been fluctuating over the past years. In some instances, the costs would decrease while in other cases increased due to various reasons.

Introduction

OPEC, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is an organization that was formed by Saudi Arabia for the purposes of creating a global body for the general oversight of the oil industry. Prior to the formation of OPEC in 1960, the global oil market was much less fully integrated, and countries that produced oil were able to largely behave in their own self-interest without concern for the other countries of the world. Because there are only thirteen countries that are responsible for approximately 40% of the world’s oil production, cooperation between these countries became important as ...

Inflation and its Impact on Gas Prices

Inflation and its Impact on Gas Prices The American economy has experienced several changes over the past two and a half decades. Since the 1990s, the economy has experienced rising and dropping levels of inflation, which has, in turn, resulted in uneven changes in the prices of different commodities including gas. The average gas price in 1990 was $1 per gallon and has been rising since then with the highest price of $3.53 per gallon being noted in 2011 (Avro, 2012). In between the years, the price has dropped but has not gotten to levels of as low as $ ...

Abstract

Transport activity, as a core element of economic development and a precondition of human welfare, is increasing across the globe with the growth of economies. Transport predominantly relies on such fossil resource as petroleum. The literature relevant for this study can be divided into two parts or strands: one that focuses on the demand side and another one that gives analysis to the oil market by focusing on the supply side. This paper absorbs the ideas of both strands ...

1. Is $1 per gallon gas likely? Why or why not? What are your thoughts? There are certain factors lowering gasoline prices in the US. The main reason for gasoline prices decline is a global oil glut happening due to the recent start of oil export from US, stable oil production in Saudi Arabia despite declining prices and cancellation of Iran oil export embargo. All this consequently led to drop of oil prices globally. But nevertheless the $1 per gallon of gasoline seems unlikely now, because the other factors influencing its price like the cost of gasoline production and ...

INTRODUCTION

Anyone who drives a car is well aware how important gasoline is to their day-to-day activities. Driving a car, which was once a luxury, is now a necessity for most people from sea to shining sea. Over the last decade, Americans have watched the prices of gasoline rise and have felt the burden of that increase on their budgets. Gasoline costs literally doubled and in some places tripled in price, making it more and more difficult for people to afford to drive the distances that their lives may require. This inability to drive can impact all sorts of areas in the American paradigm. ...

Introduction

The demand for gasoline in America fell drastically in 2012. This was primarily attributable to the increased gasoline prices to $4 a gallon. The consumers cut down their consumption by opting to minimize number of kilometer driven per day, opting to use non guzzler vehicles and making use of pooling programs which enables them to share cost of gasoline in their journey’s. This decreased demand for gasoline by 4% an adequate quantity which adequate to justify that demand for gasoline is price elastic.

The consumption of gasoline declined sharply in America in 2012. This is attributable to American motorist’ ...

The society sees athletes running around, passing a ball or kicking a ball, or merely moving from one point to the other on the field, yet they make money that the professional teacher will never earn honestly in his lifetime. The question many individuals ask is: why are professional athletes making so much more money than professional teachers? The answer is simple, yet it makes no sense. Clearly, ...

Could this be the end of the world? Scientific estimates point hands to the fact that the global oil reserve is running out at a fast rate and might get exhausted in the next 40 years. How true is this in the presence of the fact that the billions of barrels of crude oil many OPEC countries claim to have? If indeed the world’s oil reserve is running out, then how is this going to affect the civilized world: developing and developed countries. How are we supposed to adapt our life to suit this doomsday? Of course, all hopes ...

Introduction

Mobility is a significant basis for quite a number of private and economic activities. Thus, it forms a critical part of our everyday life. In many countries, mobility demand is mainly met by road traffic, with modern automobiles and road networks allowing for a high level of individual mobility. However, there are issues that are a consequence of this mobility. For example, mobility results in significant environmental problems in terms of carbon dioxide emissions that are mainly attributed to the burning of gasoline. Another problem is the declining fuel reserves and the subsequent rise in oil prices which translates to rising fuel prices. For ...

The two the most pressing global issues that currently confront the global community are the global energy crisis and global warming. This paper seeks to examine these two issues and propose solutions that can be used to solve these problems. Over the last decade, the global energy crisis has taken a turn for the worse. This is mainly because of the rise in the price of non-renewable energy sources such as petroleum products. Over the last 10 years gas prices have increased from about $1 a gallon to almost $ 5 a gallon. This increase has been attributed to the supply and ...

The Whiskey Rebellion, which began on March 3, 1791, happens to be one of the topmost events within the early history of America (Humphrey, 2003). It took place when the U.S. Congress within Philadelphia approved a federal excise tax amounting to seven cents per gallon on whiskey in an attempt of paying off debts suffered by the Revolutionary War. Although, at that time, the majority of Americans felt negatively concerning taxation, the Western Pennsylvania’s intrepid farmers proved outright unreceptive to the idea (Humphrey, 2003). In 1790, the United State’s new national government was making an attempt of ...

Every historical event has its reasons, prerequisites, characteristics of development and further consequences. Particular feature of historical events is that their meaning changes with each epoch’s interpretation of it. There were events which contemporary scholars called insignificant and even harmful for the development of their society. On the other hand, representatives of the next generations would consider those events essential for the development of modern social order which is more advanced and democratic than the former one. In other words, history is an interpretative science and it gains new half-color each time scholar from a new epoch looks into ...
