People who have to drive to work long distances‚ people who don’t have the money to buy more fuel-efficient cars right now and they’ve seen their standard of living drop substantially as a consequence of higher gas prices. Now‚ the only thing as predictable as rising gas prices are the short-term political solutions that usually come along with

A major focus of the lawsuit Chevron Chemical filed against Touche Ross was the auditing profession’s rules regarding the “subsequent discovery of facts existing at the date of the auditor’s report”. Those rules distinguish between situations in which a client cooperates with the auditor in making all necessary disclosures and situations involving uncooperative clients. Briefly summarize the differing responsibilities that auditors have in those two sets

As the earth’s population continues to grow and the demand for alternative fuels becomes mandatory‚ we will need to continue to research alternative fuel sources and the affects that there production will have on the environment. Supplies and Demands Grain production is a necessity to sustain life. But what will the demand of corn do to the farmlands of America

type of relationship do these variables have with each other? The variable that we manipulated was the fuel to oxygen ratio and the variable that we observed was how efficiently the fuel burned in each of the mixtures. The efficiency of the combustion depended on the fuel to oxygen ratio. If mixture was fuel lean the combustion reaction would produce less soot and smoke. If the mixture was fuel rich‚ an incomplete combustion reaction occurred and it produced plenty of soot and smoke. The controlled

capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline)‚ which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893. The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency of any regular

Throughout most of history‚ the amount of waste generated by humans was insignificant due to low population density and low societal levels of the exploitation of natural resources. Common waste produced during premodern times was mainly ashes and human biodegradable waste‚ and these were released back into the ground locally‚ with minimum environmental impact. Tools made out of wood or metal were generally reused or passed down through the generations. However‚ some civilizations do seem to have

Impact of Fuel Price Deregulation in India Introduction Empowered group of Ministers on Friday‚ 25th June 2010‚ took a decision to decontrol the petrol prices increasing it by 3.50 per litre & that of kerosene by Rs 3 a litre. While petrol is mainly used by the middle class for cars‚ kerosene is used by the poor for power. Diesel prices rose by Rs 2 per litre and might be freed up in the future. Cooking gas prices were raised by Rs 35 a cylinder. Govt. has indeed taken a bold step by deciding
