1. All the crude oil is not same. When the crude oil contains only a small amount of sulfur then it is called “sweet” and when it contains lots of sulfur then it is called “sour”. And crude oil is also classified as “heavy” and “light” by the weight of the molecules. When crude oil flows very freely like water then it is termed as “Light”. And when it thick like a tar then it is termed as “heavy”.
2. The car’s tank which has gasoline is made from petroleum formed from plants and tiny animals which lived over 100's of millions of years ago lets say before dinosaurs.
3. Do you know what will happen if we burn natural gas, it will mostly produce carbon dioxide and water vapor and these are the same substance that are emitted when people breathe.
4. Nine of every ten tons of coal used in the United States are used for electricity generation. Here’s how it works: coal is burned to heat water into steam in an electric power plant then the steam turns a turbine that drives a generator that produces electricity. During this process, about 2/3 of the energy in the coal is used up to make electricity, or becomes waste heat, and only 1/3 winds up being delivered to users as electricity.
5. There is a unit of measure that can be used to compare different forms of energy. It is called a British thermal unit (Btu). One Btu is approximately equal to the energy released in the burning of a wood match.
