What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following nonrenewable resources?
Coal
Natural Gas
Oil
Coal is cheap, but extremely bad from the environment.
Natural gas is efficient, but because it is so volatile, it is perceived as being dangerous to store and transport.
Oil is not as cheap as coal, or as efficient as natural gas, but it burns cleaner than coal. However, the oil supply is quickly dwindling.
Laclede Gas – Dryer
Get to “fluffy” faster with the economy of natural gas.
Natural gas is nature’s cleanest-burning fuel, and a gas dryer is as gentle with the environment as it is with your clothes. Ask your local retailer about natural gas dryers and enjoy cost-effective, energy-efficient drying. The more laundry you do, the more, you’ll appreciate a natural gas dryer. Unlike electric dryers, natural gas dryers provide instant heat. That means your laundry will be done faster and come out fluffy and clean smelling.
Gas Dryer Advantages
High-efficiency natural gas dryers dry your clothes more quickly and for less money than electric models. They also produce less static cling. When a gas dryer turns off, the heat dissipates quickly, reducing the amount of wrinkling. That’s an important feature if you can’t fold the clothes right away. Gas dryers sense when your clothes are dry, which saves energy and reduces the risk of shrinkage. That’s because many models measure the heat and moisture levels throughout the drying cycle. The machine automatically shuts off when the load is done. Some models signal when the clothes are dry and continue to tumble without heat, allowing you more time to fold the load. Gas dryers now offer touch controls, digital displays, and microcomputer-based temperature settings for sensitive fabrics.
Operating Cost
Natural gas is less expensive than electricity. Initial purchase price is an important consideration, but don’t discount the dryer’s operating and servicing costs. A gas dryer lasts a long time, up to 13 years or more. Operating costs, warranty coverage and availability of parts and service at competitive prices are as important to consider as the purchase price.

give one advantage of using solar energy instead of natural gas.?
why is it practical to use solar energy as a resource in colorado
Hi Andrew,
advantages of solar energy would include the absence of pollution, the absence of impact on global warming, and the fact that once you have purchased the equipment the fuel is free. Although there is the rather large problem we call "Sunset" there are ideas for storing the Sun’s energy by means such as converting some of it into Hydrogen which is then fed into fuel cells at night or in cloudy weather.
As for it’s practicality in Colorado, there is no need for pipelines to transport it or facilities to store it. Both of which can potentially explode either by accident or intentionally. I’m not aware of anyone who has ever been killed by a photo cell! Also, Colorado is a rather large place, at least from the perspective of a guy in MA!
Best regards Andrew,
Dave.
If I am filing for divorce, is it in my best interest to change over names on utilities, phone, natural gas ++
Is it in my best interest to change my name over from joint accounts that include utilities, cable, etc. as long as I am the one living in the house? I am suppose to be receiving temperary spousal support, child support and temperary custody of children and home.
Is there an advantage to doing this? Any information would be kindly appreciated.
Well your "lis pending" order from the court should state who is paying for what. You can notify the utilities of the divorce (send them a copy of the temporary order) so that they have a starting point as to liability of charges. You and your spouse would be responsible for all past due accounts. You may have to give a new deposit on the utilities.
Now the home may be difficult. If you are buying the home, you will have to refinance in your name only (which depending upon your credit may be easy or extreamly difficult).
Consult your attorney, as a divorce does not superceed a pre-existing contract (mortage, leasing agreement, etc….)

what are the advantages and disadvantages of using fossil fuels?
Coal, oil, and natural gas are teh only ones i could think of i need hep with the advantages more
Thanks
Some advantages to using fossil fuels are:
1) They have incredible energy density. For their weight, they contain a lot of energy which enables us build machines for transportation (like cars, trains, and planes). Without this energy density we couldn’t fly airplanes, even coal is too heavy to fly an airplane, so we need oil for that. The only fuels that I’m aware of that have higher energy densities than oil are rocket fuels that are derived from fossil fuels, and nuclear fuel like Uranium.
2) They are easy and cheap to get. Oil, natural gas, and coal are relatively abundant and found in many parts of the world.
3) A lot of existing infrastructure is already geared towards the use of fossil fuels. We use fossil fuels not only to power our cars, but to produce electricity, produce many important chemicals, and produce fertilizer.
——————-
Some of the disadvantages:
1) Fossil fuels put out CO2 (a known greenhouse gas), they also often have nasty chemicals like lead and sulfur that get put in the air when we burn them.
2) There is a lot of political instability in the world due to where some fossil fuels are found. Primarily these locations are in the Middle East and it helps to fuel a lot of violence around the world.

what is the use of Compressed natural gas (CNG) ?
compulsion of this fuel, advantages of CNG over petrol & diesel, future possible feuls for cars and their disadvantages, is hydrogen a better feul, why?
it is cheaper than petrol and diesal, offers more mielage and protects the environment from POLLUTION.

Oil versus natural gas boiler, which to choose?
We’re looking to replace our old boiler (we have hot water/radiator heat) and are looking at either staying with the fuel oil we have now or moving to gas. Our oil tank is underground, under out patio to be exact, and that is one concern, as we have been told that if we take it out of service, we have to remove it (I also read it can be filled with an inert substance, but don’t know what that means).
We already have a gas line to the house. Our heating oil cost $2.80 per gallon last time we bought. Not sure what it is now. Generally we seem to spend about $2400 per year on oil, heating an old 2800 sq foot home. Our current boiler is about 20 years old.
What are the advantages of changing to gas versus staying with oil? What are the disadvantages?
I should perhaps specify that we have to replace the boiler, as the combustion chamber is the existing boiler is bad. It will work for a bit, but need replacing before next fall at the latest.
Also, switching to a furnace is not an option, as we have hot water heat, which means radiators, not duct work.
Oil furnace require more maintenance, are typically less efficient, and more expensive to operate. For more info, check out the boilers page at my source. You may want to think about using a combi boiler to replace your water heater at the same time and save a lot of money. You may be able to buy a chp system and that would save you even more.
