Energy Policy Dilemma
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing US energy policy. Can fossil fuel electricity generation be sustained for generations? No. Then we need alternatives. Will there be oil available to fuel the world's cars in four generations? No. Then we need alternatives. We need to be cognizant of businesses' bottom lines. They cannot operate in perpetual loss; we need to take a larger view of the true costs of both action and inaction. The concept of the "triple bottom line" – cost effectiveness now, cost effectiveness later and whether an action is sustainable for the future – is valuable in determining which course of action needs to be made now. All we have to do is convince our politicians – of both parties – to use its logic. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Establishing a Department of Homeland Security
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing some of the issues complicating creation of a federal department that can increase security in America without limiting the individual freedom and liberty on which the country was founded. All of the federal government has been long overdue for the same kinds of structural reorganization that has been occurring in business for nearly a generation. A better approach to establishing a Department of Homeland Security might be to give such a department time-limited license for existence, allowing it to take the steps necessary to increase the security of our free and open society, but making its secondary mission that of overseeing reorganization of the entire federal government. Such an undertaking would take years in corporate time; in government time it would take even longer. It is an approach to increasing security without further limiting individual freedom, however, and is well worth considering for long-range planning. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
