economy? In my opinion, the key element of Southwest Airlines’ success is the utilization of economic indicators, the leading, coincident and lagging economic indexes which is valuable to help them understand the performance if the company will be on peak or trough in the business cycle. Transportation Service Index and EIA Crude Oil Prices are two specific indicators I chose because I believe when Southwest utilize these two economic data then it will

consumption below certain levels. The home energy management system will receive the demand response from the utility side. The goal of the system is to encourage the consumer to use less energy during peak hours or to move the time of energy use to off peak times such as nighttime and weekends. Thus the high peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of power will be avoided and also we adopt real time pricing. The utility company use real time dynamic pricing to coordinate demand responses to the benefit of the overall

The purpose of this paper is to provide an environmental scan and explore issues pertaining to the scarcity of fossil fuels. It will briefly explore the transition from historical energy sources to the primary use fossil fuels. Why is this a dangerous global issue? What are the effects of said issue as it pertains to the social, economic, and political landscapes? It will also assert how Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1943) is impacted by fossil fuel depletion. Finally, some recommendations

As of right now China is the leader in clean energy usage. They have been dramatically increasing their spending on clean/renewable energy source such as wind turbines, solar-photovoltaic cells, and water turbines. This rise of renewable and clean energy in china has come with a hefty price. China has spent almost $500 billion on renewable energy sources. With this increase of clean energy China is also reducing their use of coal and trying to get more coal plants to clean the coal so that there

stable and easy to store. Although the renewable energy is unlimited and eco-friendly, the costs of built and operate it are expensive. So, the fossil fuels are the best energy for us to use now. Peak oil crises affect our life, and we cannot find any energy to replace it. For me, I am worrying that the Peak Oil Crises can make our living standard go down because we cannot rely on the renewable

The choices we make today affect more than just our lives tomorrow. They also effect the world, and slowly these choices end up becoming major problems. Life as we know it, will not continue to be the same if we do not work to fix the occurring global crises. However, we tend to focus more on our own existence, and survival that we forget there are people suffering from our choices around the world. This causes us to take things for granted, but not realize it because there is someone else somewhere

Introduction Crude Oil Industry is central to United State, its future and the world economy. Demand and Supply fundamentals have traditionally determined the price of crude oil. New price drivers have emerged with time. Complexity is on an increase in the oil market, having impact on the oil prices with a variety of factors. The fluctuation of oil price has reached an unprecedented level, with the world crude oil price widely swinging per barrel over the months. The prices reflect the crude oil

Overview Energy, most often is regarded as a catalyst for development at all levels of habitation; Global, national and local. In rural areas predominantly in developing countries, energy application is seen majority in household use as well as certain agricultural activities and the running of small scale enterprises. “Africa’s energy sector is vital to its future development and yet remains one of the most poorly understood areas within the global energy system” (IEA, 2014). Ghana is often considered

Nanotechnology and the Energy Crisis A major problem facing the world today is the energy crisis. The amount of energy being consumed is much greater than the fossil fuels of the Earth will be able to keep up with in the long run. As energy use continues to grow, the demand for energy will exceed its supply. This is obviously a huge problem, and why this is being referred to as a crisis. However, nanotechnology can potentially solve this problem due to its ability to help make every aspect of producing
