Overall financial performance

US airline industry can be divided into two phase, which include the regulation phase and deregulation phase. This means that at one time the industry was being regulated and it recorded huge profits. A time came when the industry was no longer regulated, which led to increased competition from new entrants who would enter the market with a lot of ease. Year 2008 marked the worst performance in the airline’s industry (Class Text book). During this year, profit margins were reported to evaporate. All the airlines, including American Airlines, recorded large losses. This was quite ironic because it had ...

Abstract

Energy is one of the world’s most crucial crisis to date considering the growing demand for electricity and energy. However, using traditional sources such as fossil fuels is gradually siphoning the world supply and its prices are unbearable for developing countries. Several alternative energy and renewable sources have been cited to enable each country to sustain their demand, one of them being renewable energy from plants and wastes or biomass. Biomass appeals to many developing countries considering that sources for this type of energy is visible around the society and for Egypt, this alternative energy would be beneficial ...

Introduction

Pollutant gases tend to have an impact on both health and environment. Many nations rely on oil for energy use and advancement, hence imports every last bit of its oil and gas needs. Unfortunately, this has brought about dangerous effects upon the environment such as affecting the ozone, causes global warming, acid rain and smog. This may come about when fossil fuels are burnt to form these gases. The formation of toxic gases and their harmful impacts on human health and environment as well as biological effects by thermal pollution that is equivalent to the burning processes are being ...
