Global environmental impact
Most of the energy used in different countries comes from oil and natural gas. Pollution by oil is a problem that worries many years of maritime countries, whether or not oil producers, as well as industrial companies linked to the exploitation and trade of this product. Since then, we have taken enormous technical and international legal provisions to avoid or reduce the occurrence of these problems.
Oil spills in the seas, rivers and lakes cause pollution damage to marine life and birds, vegetation and water. In addition, fishing and damaging activities. sulfur dioxide, dana the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. It is an irritant to eyes and skin, or even destroy the tooth enamel.

Other alternative sources of energy is developed which generates many radioactive waste or radioactive contaminants from nuclear reactions, or deposits of radioactive minerals, plants which are refined or processed, these minerals, and of generating electricity work with radioactive material. Still do not know a method to eliminate this waste without risk to man.
Another of the impacts generated by the exploitation of energy resources is noise pollution, as the noise produced by the industry, reduces the hearing and may affect the circulatory system, even if workers in these industries are already accustomed to the noise by listening in prolonged mental harm they generate.
Mining and mineral processing often produce negative environmental impacts on air, soil, water, crops, flora and fauna, and human health. Also can impact both positively and negatively, in several aspects of the local economy such as tourism, the establishment of new populations, inflation, etc.. In the past, companies were not always required to address the impacts of these resources. As a result, much of the costs of cleaning had to be subsidized by taxpayers and local citizens. This paper presents a number representing the cost of remediation activities. Often the most expensive item is a long-term water treatment. The use of financial guarantees or insurance environment can ensure that the polluter-pays for most costs.
Another issue to consider with respect to the environmental impact of production and energy consumption is the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2, which are causing climate change. It is not only the emissions produced during combustion by the consumption-such as using gasoline to burn a car to transport people and goods, but also the production of energy in thermal power-in which generates electricity primarily by combustion of carbon. The increasing use of renewable energy alternatives is the best way to reduce this impact.
