A Policy Proposal: Why America Should Put A Cap on CO2 Emissions America is a material world‚ a world of frequent fliers and heated swimming pools‚ that makes comfort and indulgence a priority. What used to be a fast paced culture is now a society expectant upon immediate gratification‚ whose inhabitants are more likely to drive an SUV two blocks to McDonald’s rather than walk

Matthew Lowerre Professor Andy Wilson Environmental Issues 121 17 November 2013 The Future of the US Energy Policy The future of the US energy policy must be different than our current system in place. The way the US funds energy sources and uses its energy will lead to drastic consequences in the environment and the way future generations live. Climatologists and environmentalists have warned society that the earth is warning for quite some time. They’ve emphasized the need to steer away

Introduction Environmental Engineering is a discipline of engineering devoted to the development and application of scientific knowledge through technology to eliminate or minimize adverse effects associated with human activities. It operates at four different levels: remediation of contaminated sites‚ treatment of effluents‚ pollution prevention‚ and care for future generations. Environmental engineering is fundamentally object-focused‚ rather than tool-based. It therefore draws from

Market Failure and Carbon Prices Climate change has become an issue of global discussion and it is the result of market failure. The effects of the increasing volume of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases on the global temperature have become a major environmental issue throughout the world. Carbon emissions worldwide need to be reduced in order to avoid serious climate change. To encourage companies to invest in cleaner technology and reduce carbon emissions‚ the government has to attach a cost

Strontium Manganese Oxide Introduction The ternary inter oxide SrMnO3 was first characterized by XRD by Negas and Roth []. This perovskite type inter oxide crystallizes in the hexagonal form with the space group P63/mmC(194). This inter oxide is of considerable interest to materials scientists owing to its ability to accommodate a high degree of anion vacancies‚ crystal structure and its high Neel Temperature (TN). It also exhibits polymorphism with two different cubic and hexagonal structures
