Technological- Lighter cars, hybrids, longer lasting batteries. Economy- The type of market our society is currently in. If we are in a recession, consumers might not be buying cars. Social- Society is starting to go away from power and really want MPG. Save money any way possible.
Understandably, there is a need for nuclear power plants and the benefits they possess, but more power plants are not the answer needed to solve today’s environmental threats. In the article written in 2009, called Nuclear Power Is an Environmentally Unsound Way to Reduce Pollution, it states “no new nuclear plants could be completed before 2014 according to government estimates, and plants with genuinely advanced designs no earlier than 2025.”(Union of Concerned Scientists, 2009, p. 1) Building nuclear power plants also brings many other risks, such as where to store the radioactive waste and terrorist threats. The radioactive waste and terrorist threats are the same because the refined byproduct of radioactive
* How can they help society? Well because they don’t catch fire batteries will cause less fires and perhaps deaths when aluminum batteries become mainstream. Because aluminum is more abundant than lithium aluminum is more sustainable than lithium and aluminum can also be recycled. Aluminum ion batteries also charge incredibly fast so that people have time for other things, like the thing about washing machine what we learned about in humanities. Because they charge faster electric cars wont take hours to charge they will take minutes to charge just as fast as refueling a car.
Wind turbines are clean, effective and nonpolluting; however, one cannot predict the speed or direction exactly. The heavier populated areas require more energy. Not enough wind and the turbine will not turn. Wind turbines are noisy, threatens wild life, and is an eye sore along with costly for the initial funding. Solar energy is a non-pollutant, cost effective, maintenance free, life span of up to 40 years; however the upfront cost is enormous, and not everyone can afford the cost to put the stylish panels on their roof tops.
Prices on driverless cars are high, however, there are people that already bought a self-driving car. After Level 5 AV appears, prices will get lower. The concept of a car that does not need a driver may seem futuristic to most people, but that concept has become one of Google’s most popular innovations aside from their universally-known search engine. The idea of a self-driving vehicle is very appealing to many people, but in reality “driverless is really driver-optional” (Bosker, 2013). It is reasonable to predict that in the future, there will no longer be a need for driver’s licenses.
Even though some new customers were interested in this advanced technology, the price of 1.3-inch disk drive was considered to be too high and sales were very low. In the end, HP decided to shut down the Kittyhawk group. Analysis Utilizing the RVP Framework as discussed by Christensen, HP had managed the Kittyhawk Project as though it was a sustaining technology, and failed to recognize the new product as a disruptive innovation that was not ready to compete in the existing market From a project management point of view, HP did everything right. They had set up an autonomous project team, and gave the project heavy senior
There is a big difference in the sale tactics of the 2 adverts. The Fiat is a soft sell advert because there is no reference to the price of the car or any statistics about the car whereas the Chrysler advert displays the price in big numbers at the top of the advert and it also refers to the fuel consumption of the car. This shows that the 2 adverts use different tactics to advertise and sell the car. I think that the target audiences for these cars are the same; both of these cars are family cars. Both of the cars are designed to be comfortable and safe, they are not advertised to be fast sports cars or stylish city cars; they are advertised as normal cars.
The supply of solar energy demeans the supply of fossil fuels when compared. The unlimited supply does not pose the same destructive effects to the environment and health. Solar energy, according to Klare (2010) “is clean, green, safe and smart” (p. 12). Solar energy provides efficiencies because it does not need the current volume of resources needed today to generate power. The predominant draw back to relying on solar power it that it will take a dedicated plan over 40 years to complete.
Electronic cigarettes have been a very hot topic in the last few years, mainly because they have not yet been regulated officially by the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has already attempted to ban electronic cigarettes in 2009 illegally, based on the unknown information about them at the time. Some may say that electronic cigarettes are a great and healthy way to quit smoking, however some others may concur in stating that they may be just as bad, if not worse that real analog cigarettes. But how does someone regulate these devices properly? First we need to take a look at what an electronic cigarette actually is, how the FDA is planning on regulating these products, why that regulation would be a poor decision, and why the
Where American energy policy is far less sensible is when it comes to the price reflecting the true cost. Tiny petrol taxes take no account of the damaging effects of pollution. This newspaper has long argued for a carbon tax to make dirty energy more expensive and thus curb demand. If that happened, some of the new oil might not be worth extracting: Canada’s heavy oil, for instance, emits about 6% more carbon dioxide than normal oil, which in turn can be 30% dirtier than gas. The biggest bonanza from all this new energy would be if the users paid the real cost of consuming oil and
