Oil production may peak between 2010 and 2020. The Exxon Valdez spilled 10.9 million gallons of oil into Alaska s Prince William Sound. 30,000 birds and 5000 sea otters died. National Wildlife Refuge is habitat for polar bears, foxes, peregrine falcons, musk-oxen, Dall sheep, wolverines, and snow geese. Tundra and permafrost is delicate and does not recover when damaged.
Coal gasification produces methane from abundant coal.
Tar, dust, sulfur, and CO2 and other pollutants are removed. Methane can be burned or used in fuel cells. Neutron bombardment of Uranium 235 splits the atom producing more neutrons which in turn, break apart more U235. This process creates a chain reaction that releases large amounts of energy. U235 fission creates heat which makes steam.
