Nuclear Energy by Tor Kedaitis

As fossil fuels become less and less attractive as energy sources due to their fluctuating prices and damaging consequences, nuclear energy is on the rise in attempt to meet the ever-increasing demand for global energy. While it does not produce CO2 emissions and uses very little fuel to produce massive amounts of electricity, the costs of this industry may outweigh the benefits. My website explores the past, present, and future of the nuclear energy industry in hopes of challenging you to decide if nuclear proliferation is the right decision for our planet and the future generations to come.

I chose this issue because I had never learned anything about nuclear energy and its impact, even though it is proliferating faster than I ever thought imaginable. It is important for every individual to know how our planet’s (nonrenewable) resources are being used, especially if it can lead to a devastating outcome for future generations.

Invasive Species by Sebastiaan Blickman

Invasive species can have large impacts on our ecosystems. However, many of the invasive species on my site are seemingly common species or are desirable in the form of food or aesthetic appearance. By visiting my site, we will be able to examine these species and their impact and brainstorm ways of managing their populations. And as we realize the extent of the invasive species problem we can work to think about possible dilemmas in the management practices so that the ecosystems of the United States can return to equilibrium because no matter how beneficial, beautiful, or normal these species are to us, we must work to have them removed.

I chose to study invasive species because prior to my research I too had no idea that every day animals and plants in my life are invaders that can hurt our environment and the natives to our ecosystem.
