Ethics of Hydraulic Fracturing Final Persuasive Christian Childs 3025 December 13‚ 2011 Jona-Lee Luna Large gas companies have been wreaking havoc on Midwestern United States. These companies’ practices of hydraulic fracturing have been very detrimental to the local populace. Hydraulic fracturing has been known to damage the environment through earthquakes and gas spills. In addition‚ it has been said that these companies have certain law exemptions that only they enjoy. These unsafe

today‚ it should be considered to be closed. Hydraulic fracking should be banned because of its contamination of groundwater supplies‚ risks to the health of public‚ increased seismic activity‚ increased atmospheric emissions and the ultimate issue of hurting the Earth. Hydraulic fracking continues to rise within many states across the U.S.‚ but also banned from other countries also. Since it’s banned in some countries‚why‚ can there be any harms from hydraulic fracking? One of the major causes why the

I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally‚ the horn is linked to the throttle or flap position‚ and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed‚configuration‚ or power setting with the gear retracted‚ the warning horn will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by

Stanley Hydraulics Corporation (A) From my overall point of view‚ I don’t think that Bob Nehrgardt was crazy. It’s highly appreciable that someone is dedicated to work so enthusiastically and objectively for his company. Bob achieved a huge success in a relatively small time period. In ten years with Dynamic Controls‚ Bob Nehrgardt raised up the annual sales from $600‚000 to $5 million. Entering in the product engineering‚ he developed his path towards industrial sales‚ marketing‚ product development

Danielle Myers12-1 Hydraulic fracturing(also known as fracking) is a highly controversial topic to those that keep up with current government issues. Although many people believe that fracking is malicious‚ it is potentially one of the greatest ideas for America‚ and could end our distress very quickly. The only negative responses to fracking are coming from relatively uninformed people. Fracking has both environmental and economic advantages. Many people are uninformed about fracking. Some
