automated ticketing system within America, to build and operate an electronic system for users rather than using tickets, they called it the GO card.

Nuclear power plants have increased over the United States since the 1940s. In the states, there are 99 nuclear power plants. With all these plants, nearly three million Americans live within 10 miles of one. Citizens of Yankton live fairly close to a nuclear power plant which is Pathfinder Nuclear Generating Station located near the city of Sioux Falls. During the 1960, Sioux Falls was a hub of industry and productivity in South Dakota at the time. This made Sioux Falls the ideal place for…

the answer is not as simple. When looking at Global Warming as an issue, the problem of greenhouse gases are introduced and because of this, nuclear power has been suggested as an alternative (USA Today Magazine, 2005). Greenhouse gases, which includes CO2 emissions, have a direct correlation with the increase of…

Coal power is currently a major source for producing Australia’s electricity needs. This was stated by (Origin Energy, 2015), that recorded 73% of electricity is generated through coal power stations. With the current issues of global warming it is expected that Australia looks at alternative sources for the growing electricity needs. However, with current economic issues, coal is the cheapest energy source option. In order to move from coal fired power stations it is suggested, renewable…

losses when compared to the equivalent AC cable distribution. The DC power transmission lines run at losses of approximately 0.3-0.4% per 100km. Converter stations also need to be considered which have losses of around 0.6%. Overall HVDC transmission losses are nearly always lower than AC transmission. ii) HVDC can have a lower investment cost. Although HVDC stations are more expensive due to the additional cost of converter stations, if the length of the HVDC line goes past the ‘breakeven…

Good morning/afternoon everyone. Wind power is a form of renewable energy that uses airflow to create energy. In 2014, 13.9% of Australia’s energy came from renewable sources and of that, only 4.2% of our energy was produced from Wind power. Yet, even with such a low percentage of our power coming from wind energy, our government wants to reduce this even further. The former prime minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, was a big critic of wind farms, stating that they are ‘ugly’ and pose a threat…

Nuclear Power is Not Worth It New technology and science that has been created throughout the past few decades has allowed the United States to use Earth’s natural resources for our benefit. Medicine, insect control, fertilizers and agricultural uses all have an advantage when it comes to nuclear power, but the most well known use is electricity. Gaining energy from nuclear power plants provides electricity for about 20% of the United States population, however, the negatives of this process…

would be in good favor of the general public as they have pure intentions. Individuals would be given more power, more involvement, and more freedoms to make a difference in our society and help diminish automatic government. Unlike another of Howard’s reforms, such as giving more power to the president, the people would become supportive of this reform as they personally benefit and power is given to them and not a single individual. Social acceptance of this reform would be high, it is…
