The United States
.... economic preeminence, particularly during the post-World War II era. Yet the population, per-capita wealth, and general welfare are unevenly distributed, with affluent areas often contiguous with areas of poverty. Beginning in the 1970s the United States faced economic difficulties brought on by a high foreign trade deficit, the declining value of the dollar abroad, high governmental spending, and inflation. In the 1980s, inflation was brought under control, and tax-cutting stimulated economic expansion in some sectors. The trade deficit remained, however, and the national debt burgeoned. To address the issue of deficit spendi .....

India's Economic Policy
.... since 1960. India is self-sufficient in iron and coal but is heavily dependent on foreign oil.
India's chief energy sources are coal (26%), petroleum (49%), and electricity (25%). Some 156 billion kw of electricity were generated in 1987, which still far short of demand.

The government has made a commitment to nuclear energy, which provides a little over 3% of total power production.

Immigration To The United States (Maryland)
.... immigrants as legal one’s coming in each year. Over time, these immigrants find that even though they have many freedoms that they didn’t previously have, they still face many discriminations and hardships in America.
Obviously, with all these immigrants comes the problem of over population, finding jobs, education for these people, and finding suitable living conditions for these immigrants. The three states with the highest immigration totals are California, Texas, and Florida. This is easy to explain because California and Texas are bordering Mexico, which means as long as the border control police don’t arrest them; th .....

The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository
.... geothermal water from below has been there before and, therefore, could return. DOE mining engineers says those crystalline forms are more likely the result of minute amounts of water migrating from above over thousands of years. The issue was raised by a former DOE employee turned whistle-blower, Jerry Szymanski, who reported evidence of past geothermal activity for Yucca Mountain and that the area goes through periods with three times as much moisture. DOE maintained for many years it takes thousands of years for water to make its way through Yucca Mountain to the repository 800 feet below ground. But last year, scientists found .....
