The investment for a new plant is 70 million dollars. If an entrant company has about 10% of the share (compared to the incumbent share of 35%) the profit for the company will be about 2 M. Ignoring the discount rate, it will take about 35 years to recover the cost of the new plant. This shows that the industry is capital intensive and it will be not an easy decision for a company to enter this industry. Additionally the plants are a scale intensive investment. For a 250 million sq ft plant the rate per square feet comes to 0.25 whereas for an 80 million sq ft facility this rate is 0.43.

This money could be used to fund next generation equipment for their military technology and even for society. Like it says in document 3 “ What china’s leaders really want is that the next generation of underwear and airplane wings not just be “made in China” but also be “designed in China” and that’s where things are heading.

THE NEED FOR WATER IN ANCIENT SOCIETIES Water is life - there could be no life without water. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Rome, Egypt and China understood that water is not simply a valuable resource without which survival is impossible, but also an important prerequisite for further development. Water became an influential tool that shaped technological, economic, political, and legal spheres of the ancient societies, as well as a powerful weapon in the hands of their emperors and kings. To begin, the need for a steady supply of water greatly affected technological developments in the ancient world, both negatively and positively. For instance, ancient civilizations that solely depended on irrigation canals and ditches often suffered food shortages and famine when the river levels dropped, or when the water systems could not be properly maintained.
Water Pollution in Lake Huron Arthur T. Plyler Jr. Strayer University Professor Matthew Norsworthy English 115 November 23, 2013 Water Pollution in Lake Huron Lake Huron is one of the five Great Lakes and is the third largest lake in the world. Leading other lakes with a shoreline that stretches almost four thousand miles, containing a vast number of islands, an ecosystem that’s home to many unique plants and animals, some that are globally rare, and a population from the United States and Canada of 2.7 million. It’s no surprise that Lake Huron has been faced with pollution issues for decades. Here we will identify the major causes for the pollution and answer how this effects the economy and the surrounding population. Lake Huron
Environmental Protection Agency estimated that 70 to 140 billion gallons of water are used to fracture 35,000 wells in the United States each year. This is approximately the annual water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50,000. Fracture treatments incoalbed methane wells use from 50,000 to 350,000 gallons of water per well, while deeper horizontal shale wells can use anywhere from 2 to 10 million gallons of water to fracture a single well. The extraction of so much water for fracking has raised concerns about the ecological impacts to aquatic resources, as well asdewatering of drinking water aquifers. It has been estimated that the transportation of a million gallons of water (fresh or waste water) requires 200 truck trips.
They implemented the mandatory curbside recycling in 2009 at an initial cost of 50 million dollars, with a tax of 50 million dollars a year to its residents. Calgary had emerged from the “dark ages” commented a columnist with the Calgary Herald. I would hope so with spending nearly 100 million dollars the first year alone.
