Associated with this, is the dream of power. One dream of power that was sought after was to use to power of the river to generate electricity, not only for those within spitting distance, but those who were farther away as well. These dreams of hydroelectricity, which are now a necessity, gave birth to dams and turbines. From water wheels to turbines, the energy of the river is harnessed to move shafts, gears, and belts that direct the…

This action emerged worries that ISIS might rupture the dam and flood the encompassing territory (“Islamic State (ISIS)”). This threatens the global security in light of the fact that these dams collect rainwater, which…

many years fossil fuels have been the fundamental source of power, but with the improvement of technology, there are ways to harness the power of the elements and use it for electricity. Throughout many years of only fossil fuels, there is now hydroelectricity, photovoltaics, solar thermal, geothermal, and wind power to supply energy to society today. As a result of advances in technology, breakthroughs were formed in the way humans use photovoltaics and solar thermal. Carnegie Mellon…

pollution and environmental degradation” (“Fracking”). Hydraulic fracturing is using valuable resources and money, when there are numerous alternatives to solve this global problem. Renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, geothermal heat, hydroelectricity, and solar energy, are well developed systems for harnessing power without releasing deadly gasses into the atmosphere. Solar energy, along with numerous other methods, will be widely used if fracking is eliminated. Taking advantage of…

Complex issues such as health problems, environmental issues, or environmental health problems, such as air and water pollution, hazard wastes sites, lead poisoning and species instability are all liked together and are fixed in communities in which they occur. These kinds of complex problems that occur in communities are said to be “wicked problems” where different stakeholders cannot find scientific solutions in order to fix these complex issues. These problems are seen throughout the world,…

A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Water Projects in China vs. U.S. The paradoxical nature of water has brought prosperity and destruction to many human civilizations. In the history of China and the United States, both nations have tried to tame its water to only bring prosperity to its people. The intensive construction of dams and irrigation in the U.S. West has contributed to West Coast’s economic and urban development.

European Industrial Revolution in the North As the Industrial Revolution began to gain some momentum during the 1780’s, it would bring a myriad amount of changes to Europe. The Industrial Revolution is known as a transition to new manufacturing processes, which include the development of new technological advances. Hand tools were being replaced and a transition of new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes would occur. Not only did this economic transformation bring along a…

Introduction If you wanted to go skiing amongst the aspens and pines, hike in the desert, go to a music concert, or perhaps float in the Great Salt Lake, well, board an airplane and go to Utah. Utah is a state like no other because it boasts everything you can imagine. From luxurious hotels to modest farm houses, urban centers to barren deserts, valleys to mountains, this state has it all. History In 1830, a man named Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon. This book was about…

Current Industry Landscape: According to the Exhibit 5, today China is the world’s largest car manufacturer responsible for 26% of total production. Kenya is on the opposite end with only 3,080 cars being produced annually. China, India and Kenya are comparable in terms of labor costs. If GM facilitates production in Kenya, then it would have an easy access to the resources and cheap labor; while in China and India it would have to compete for the same resources with a large number of domestic…
