Duke currently has seventeen coal fired plants located and operating in the United States. Over the course of time two coal plants have been bought by Dynegy in 2014, and one has been retired. They also currently operate seven oil or natural gas fired plants in the Carolinas and operate a total of thirty coal fired plants in the United States. Buck Steam Station is a coal fired plant located on the Yadkin River in Rowan County. It was the first large capacity coal fired station built by Duke. Over the course of time the turbines were slowly shut down and in 2011 modifications were completed. The plant officially turned into the Buck Combined Cycle Plant (Power Plants). The plant now operates using coal and natural gas fired turbines. This
5. I thought the researchers’ use of multiple scales was very helpful to provide more evidence. In psychology, we are testing for ideas or concepts that are not observable.

As humans we are attracted to tragedy in our everyday lives. For the horror, understanding and contemplation of human nature what else can offer a better summary than Shakespeare? In the play the Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare the story progresses through the vision of the protagonist, Macbeth. Throughout the story Macbeth aspires to obtain more power than his original position, as sergeant, provides. With many dastardly deeds he achieves the position of king, although he becomes a tyrant in the eyes of his people after they discover his wrongdoings. Readers experience the downfall of Macbeth’s morality at a slow but intriguing pace. Albeit, most would disagree that Macbeth was only a vessel of his own fate due to intervening characters throughout the play such as the witches and Lady Macbeth. When choosing who inspired this fate we have to acknowledge all actions which led to his own actions, therefore Macbeth’s demise was a response to every character portrayed throughout the play.
