Download or read book Energy from the Arctic Facts and Issues written by Judith Barbara Jane McMahon Maxwell and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first topic selected by the subcommittee was the question of the problems of transporting Arctic energy to market. Discoveries of signigicant oil and gas deposits in Alaska and in the Mackenzie Delta and the Arctic Islands of Canada represent a major new North American energy development. But while these discoveries are large in an absolute sense, they are a relatively limited factor in the total world energy picture. Arctic energy will not solve North American energy problems, but it could provide a modest contribution in the form of additional time in the search for long-run solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ice in the Arctic is disappearing—and opportunity is calling. As climate change transforms the top of the world, warmer conditions are exposing a treasure trove of energy resources previously trapped in ice. The Arctic's oil, natural gas, minerals, and even wind and hydroelectric power are becoming more accessible than ever before. With untold riches hanging in the balance, the race is on to control the Arctic and its energy potential. Oil companies vie for drilling rights that go to the highest bidder. Nations around the globe—whether they're on the Arctic's doorstep or half a world away—hope to claim territory for themselves. And the indigenous peoples who have called this region home for thousands of years are determined to be on the ground floor of its development. But the Arctic's new possibilities come with grave risks. The pursuit of oil and natural gas threatens to further damage the Arctic's fragile ecosystems and accelerate global warming worldwide. International disputes over who owns which pieces of the Arctic could bring countries to the brink of war. The fate of the entire planet may hinge on how far people are willing to go to tap and control the Far North's energy resources. From oil rigs to military bases, the Arctic has never before hosted so many warring interests, and the stakes have never been so high. Join Stephanie Sammartino McPherson on a journey to the Far North to explore the energy controversies that will decide the future of the Arctic—and of the earth.

Download or read book Critical Issues in Homeland Security written by James D. Ramsay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Issues in Homeland Security: A Casebook encourages analytical and careful examination of practical homeland security problems through the presentation of contemporary cases involving major state or national events. Case studies demonstrate the complexity of challenges within the domain of homeland security policy and administration. Editors James D. Ramsay and Linda Kiltz carefully curated fourteen cases, all from top scholars and practitioners, to cover a broad range of legal, policy, and operational challenges within the field of homeland security. Timely and interesting cases on such issues as arctic security, the use of drones in targeted killings, cyber security, and the emergency management lessons of the 2010 Haiti earthquake give students a deeper understanding of the relationship between the theories and the practices of homeland security. Discussion questions at the end of each case and an online instructor's manual make Critical Issues in Homeland Security an even more effective learning tool for any homeland security program.
