Thesis: There is major debate both for and against using the fracking method to extract natural gas from the ground‚ but I propose that the federal government establish‚ monitor‚ and regulate environmental and health risks‚ and then create a minimum standard which the states are required to follow. Background: In the 1940’s the Halliburton Corporation developed a process to revitalize well production and prolong the life of wells nearing the end of their production cycle. The fracturing process‚

Pros and Cons of driver-less cars Driver-less – or ’autonomous’ – cars are cars which can drive themselves. They operate using sensors‚ GPS and real-time information‚ so rely on the internet‚ and in doing so are part of ’The Internet of Objects’. The technology used in these cars is very advanced and could be hugely beneficial‚ though there are many pros and cons which must first be considered. A huge benefit that will come from introduction of driver-less cars would be the massive decrease in

Science and invention have led us to a more convenient daily life‚ but are they always good? We should look at both sides of the coin. So I am writing to discuss the pros and cons of science and invention. First of all‚ with science and invention‚ there will be less work for human to do. Also‚ it will be more effective in doing some complicated work. This makes humans’ lives more enjoyable. Vacuum cleaner is a good example‚ it can remove dirt and dust from the floor‚ and it is very helpful for

implementing CRISPR and eliminating genes that we found unfavorable‚ we are essentially eliminating the diversity of the human gene pools and human rights. Modifying genes can have many negative impact on the human species. With the CRISPR’s technology of snipping out pieces of DNA‚ human’s gene diversity will disease inevitably. Since everyone will favor specific desirable traits and snip out all the undesirable genetic DNA‚ the human gene diversity dwindles till only the DNA that represent the

With the boom of the oil industry‚ soon people switched to oil as a way to heat their homes and generate electricity‚ causing oil to surpass coal in the mid 19th century (mhiglobal).Along with advancements in technology‚ came newer‚ cleaner sources of energy and as the world became more conscious of the effects of global warming‚ coal became less

What would happen if the bees die Something terrible is happening to bees. Hundreds of millions of them are either vanishing or dropping dead. Beekeepers are tearing their hives out in frustration. [pic] Look how cute these things are?! Fingers are pointing at a number of contributing factors. Relatively new pesticides designed to impregnate the seeds of crops before they have grown could be a potential problem. Climate change has been isolated as a likely cause (though to be fair climate change

Francis Jason Camu Social Network PROS & CONS Social Networking sites allow us to communicate with others and express ourselves easier. These sites help you find people you have not seen in a while‚ chat without actually going places and learn things that are happening today. But what are the PROS & CONS of using it? Did you know the average person spends 4 years of his life looking down at his cell phone? It’s kind of ironic‚ ain’t it? How these touch-screens can make us lose touch? But

scientific research and the exploration of new technologies have always been areas of extreme controversy and heated debate. This can be primarily attributed to the fact that they touch upon and affect many aspects of people’s lives‚ not to mention their direct interference with political‚ social and religious matters. One of the latest and most ferociously debated technologies‚ that the scientific community has offered humanity‚ is the technology of Genetically Modified Organisms and in particular

This article and video about CRISPR ‚ a technology that would allow for gene editing. CRISPR uses a bacteria and enzyme to target a gene and edit it in hopes to cure genetic diseases. The DNA is extremely complex and changing genes can have an unintended consequence. This important as ethics plays a big role in the support or oppositions of gene editing. The video shows how CRISPR works visually. Now that DNA can be changed and made to be inherited with nearly 100 percent success‚ debates on if
