“special-interest-driven politics” is what is holding America back on any real policies toward energy independence (p.323). Zuckerman (2008) points to several solutions to begin the process of becoming energy independent such as‚ reducing consumption‚ offshore drilling‚ and investing in research and development. The Council on Foreign Relations put together an independent task force to report on the National Security Consequences of U.S. Oil Dependence. The Task Force noted in 2006 that the United States must “manage

Fracturing of America Even though Hydraulic Fracturing is changing our dependence on fossil fuels‚ it could very well be changing our most precious resource‚ our water supplies. The average fracturing site uses an estimated 70 to 140 billion gallons of water to fracture 35‚000 wells in the United States annually. This is approximately the yearly water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50‚000. This water is infused with chemicals that seep back into our groundwater and contaminate

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Students Industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) was established by ITF (Industrial Training Fund) in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills required for employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary institutions. SIWES is an exercise created for students of higher education to enable them practice those things they have learnt theoretically in class. It also helps to expose students to the use of certain industrial equipment

Thesis: Earthquakes have been a natural part of Earth for many years and are caused by a shift in the Earth’s tectonic plates. Tectonic plates shift when two separated pieces of Earth’s crust push together because of the pressure of the hot air below them pushing up on the plates from the heat of the Earth’s core. This pressure must be released somehow‚ so when the pressure becomes too great for the plates to withstand‚ one part of a plate gives way to the pressure by rising above the other part
