When it comes to the PolyMet mine in MN, there are pros and cons for each side so either way the outcome won’t be perfect. My opinion is unsure and I don't favor a side. To support this issue Dr. Fairhurst, a professor at the U of M, stated, “Mining is very important. The main material in technology is copper. If PolyMet achieves their goal of 72 million pounds of copper in 20 years, our technology could keep advancing and make these types of projects improve. “There could be self driven mining trucks which improves safety for miners.” On the other side, the Boundary Waters are at risk of being polluted. This is very risky because if something goes wrong with the mine, the water may flow up to the site and pollute it. Paul Danicic, Executive
The ills that McMillan is satirizing are the most common PowerPoint mistakes. He focuses on the incorrect uses of various PowerPoint techniques. For example, he used satire to explain that using excessive bullet points can cause your key messages not to stand out. He also mentioned that putting every word you are going to say in a slide can result in losing your audience’s attention. Additionally, McMillian explained that using too many graphs just to impress your audience is not necessary.
My opponents 1st/2nd/3rd contention was that drilling in Alaska will cost billions. True, drilling in Alaska will cost billions but the positive impact on the U.S. economy far outweighs the cost. Also, the billions of dollars it will cost to drill in the ANWR will be mostly paid by companies who want to develop into the ANWR, not the U.

...plete report. Before this was done the mine blew up. In the end, the news story that broke was focused on union campaign contributions and not on mine safety.
...ion that the proposal to drain Lake Powell is not a very good one " First off two Club members in page, AZ quit the club over the Lake Powell proposal" (www.glencanyon.net/club). The writer thinks that the board is wrong to propose such an idea "Lake Powell violated the club's policy that major decisions should start at the ground and work their way up" (www.glencanyon.net/club).
The opposition to this project is increasing because the people living in those areas are already feeling negative consequences. The large communities living in Boreal Forest and other Natives lands are being affected by the extraction and process of tar sands. Not only this people are being rushed away from their lands, but also, the rate of cancer, renal failure, lupus, hyperthyroidism and other decease, are higher than ever. This health conditions increased because of the air pollution and the high quantities of metals and chemicals in the drinking water. Yet, lots of precautions are being taken by the company, oil spills keep happening over and over. The external metal corrosion caused by extreme temperatures and the corrosive acid components of the bitumen are factors that contribute to accidents like explosions and oil
To the northeast part of Arizona lay a conflict between two indigenous groups from the surrounding area and the world’s largest coal company formerly known as Peabody Coal (now Peabody Energy). The Hopi and Navajo reservations surround a region known as Black Mesa. Black Mesa is located on both the Navajo and Hopi Reservations which is a target source for underground water called the N-aquifer. The N-aquifer contains a great amount of pristine Ice Age water. As time drew on, many indigenous people were alarmed that the water was carelessly being depleted from their land. Mining on Black Mesa should be stopped because the inhabitants are affected by Peabody, livestock in the area must depend on the local springs, groundwater is being depleted at an average of 3.3 million gallons per day, and the water is being contaminated (SBMW Online par 1).
The issue that confronts many Kentuckians is whether or not the Williams and Boardwalk Pipeline, commonly called the Bluegrass Pipeline, serves for public use. Many people say that the pipeline will benefit the economy and provide jobs, while others complain that the pipeline will cause more harm than good. I am here to argue with the latter, the pipeline will cause much more harm than good. The pipeline is less for public use and more for national and international.
This paper explores the fight between draining Lake Powell and keeping it as is. It discusses the gains and the losses due to environmental, economical, and political issues. The bibliography uses sources from public interest publications, environmental organizations newsletters, and government publications to give many sides of the argument and many issues dealing with the subject matter.
The protesters want the pipeline to stop production, because it would run through their land and burial sites and can possibly affect their water source that were included in their treaty. Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) was the promise if undisturbed land in the Black Hills. Do we honor a treaty that’s already been broken for our thirst for gold? Do we respect their want to keep the environment clean with so many pipelines in the US already? There are miles upon miles of pipelines all over America. Why should they be any different? Maybe it is a step that should be taken to protect what we hold dear, whether it’s our beliefs, land, education, or
Even though many people feel that taconite mining will be good for the economy, community, and jobs, it will really only cause a lot of harm to the community. Taconite mining has a bad effect on the environment and health. Mining will cause community members to have cancer, such as mesothelioma. It will create a huge impact on the environment, in the water, air, and to living organisms. Wild rice beds may become extinct in the area. Overall it would just create a huge mess that may never be able to be cleaned up.
The theory of economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique for thinking, which helps the possessor to draw correct conclusions. The ideas of economists and politicians, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist." (John Maynard Keynes, the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money p 383)

Sri Lanka?s gem industry is with a very lengthy and colorful history. Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, ?Gemmed Island? and ?Rathna Dveepaya?; has been well-known to the world for centuries as a land popular for Gemstones. Gem industry is one of the oldest economic sectors in the country which comes from nearly 3000 years back.((?Gem trade in Sri Lanka _ Explore Sri Lanka Gem Market,? n.d.) It means that the story of Sri Lanka?s gems is as old as civilization itself.?Most of the time, Gems are highly related with the traditional beliefs, myths and the religious life of the majority of?Sri Lankans.?
