Not only will the massive amounts oil produced from this area have an effect, it is estimated to create anywhere from 250,000-735,000 jobs. Just for a reference as to how much this will boost the economy, since 1977 the North Slope oil development has pumped 500 billion dollars back into the economy. This is now slowly running out of resources considering it reached its peak production in 1980; however to continue boosting the economy more exploration needs to be done. (source 2) Action needs to be taken immediately because from the date of approval to exploration it takes anywhere from 7-12 years until the first barrel of oil is recovered. (Source 1/3) The 16 billion barrels of oil that lie untapped there would be more than enough to replace the oil Americans would purchase from Iraq for over 58 years.
Overview The lawsuit between Solo Cup Company (“Solo”) and Trigen-Cinergy Solutions (“Trigen”) arose out of an Energy Services Agreement and Equipment Lease that Solo entered into with Trigen to construct an 11.2-megawatt electricity co-generation plant at the Owings Mills facility. Solo was under the impression that by entering into this agreement, they would save at least $820,000 in energy costs annually, which was to be prepaid by Trigen and eventually paid back by Solo over 20 years. After Solo did analyses on the project, they discovered they would actually be losing money in the first year of the contract, and took action to sever the contract. Arbitration then took place to award damages to the rightful party. After extensive review of the relevant facts in this dispute, it has come to my attention that the loss contingency is incorrectly booked for Solo Cup Company.
He was keeping everyone informed in hopes that action would eventually be taken. Scanlan would take it upon himself to investigate why the recommendations were not being addressed only to be faced with the issue of politics being its driving force. The major issue for the dismissal of the reports by the inspectors from the mine in Illinois was politics. (Illinois Labor History Society, 2012) Scanlan resorted to recommending closing down the mine because of the ignoring of his reports by the administrator and officials. The saddest part of the Illinois mine disaster is that 111 lives have been altered forever in order for the government to be “politically correct” instead of doing what should have be done without even thinking of their own positions and how it would affect them.
54). Greed was a recurring topic in the factories during this time. Factory owners did not want to shovel money out of their own pocket for any extra expenses, such as safer equipment.

Reagan’s policies reflected conservative politics and contributed to simulation of the economy in many ways. Reagan was one of the people that where involved with the Economic Recovery Tax act in 1981. The Economic Recovery Tax Act cut all income taxes by twenty five percent, and reduced the top income tax rate from seventy percent to fifty percent. In the beginning of the fall in 1982 the economy began a sixth straight mount growth due to the Economic Recovery Tax Act. This was the longest uninterrupted period of expansion since the government started keeping track in 1854.During this time fifteen million new jobs were created and just under twenty trillion dollars worth of good and services were produced.
Also the universities are guilty for incidents, because they didn’t make as much examination for all safety accidents as now. Furthermore, as the writer claims, fault for those accidents has Department of Homeland Security. They distribute the project devices to universities “with no –safety related requirement”. State feels displeasure for those accidents, and rebook everyone to prevent those accidents that are present everywhere. Since students attend colleges to learn and to educate, colleges should guarantee a safety environment, especially their labs.
Railroad crossings are obviously dangerous. The ratio of the aluminum soda can to a car being the same as a car to a train kind of blew my mind. I never really gave much thought to how big a train is and how fast it’s going. It’s sad to think that everyday people who were just in a hurry can be killed just like that, and I’m willing to bet that they don’t even think about what might happen when the trespass onto the train tracks. Even though people still go around them, I’m glad that we have modern barriers like the arms because I feel like I would be less likely to stop if the intersection were just open.
Bringing casino’s to Maryland will produce jobs that will employ around 2,000 construction workers and require hundreds of millions of dollars in concrete, bricks, piping, glass, wires and steel which will come from local businesses.

Growth in the number of people with an extremely rare cancer called the bile duct known to be associated with P.A.H.’s and oil pollution. Oil companies burn enough natural gas every year they can heat 3 million homes(“Crude Awakening”). Oil companies should find a more environmentally friendly ways to perform this action. Oil companies spend around $36 to produce a barrel of oil but a barrel of crude oil sells for about $90.
The annual direct costs of operation per prisoner, excluding such indirect costs as administration, medical, and court costs, start at $20,000. That would put the direct operating costs at nearly $90 million per year for Ballot Measure 11 prisoners. Prisons cost so much, in part, because they require permanent walls and twenty-four-hour guards (Whitelaw). We see that this affects us all not just by having to split the bill, yet we are not at all trying to reform
