Analyzing The Three Mile Island In Age Of Miracles

In the article by Jared Diamond, many interesting theories are discussed about Easter Island’s history and decline. Diamond makes connections to the environmental challenges we face today and he compares the catastrophe of Easter Island to our current over consumption of natural resources. While this article makes for an interesting read, much of it is offered from a single perspective and little counter evidence is offered. The author writes in a way that could engage a non-academic audience who may not be interested in counter evidence, or proper referencing. The article lacks credibility due to its narrow scope and conversational diction. At the root of this discussion however, is the notion that the Rapa Nui people were

This research paper discusses the Three Mile Island incident to include what started it, the results in the aftermath, and how it could have been prevented. The Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor, near Middletown, Pa., partially melted down on March 28, 1979. This was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, although its small radioactive releases had no detectable health effects on plant workers or the public. Its aftermath brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor operator training, human factors engineering, radiation protection, and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations.

The article “The Island in the Wind” written by Elizabeth Kolbert shows that an island can generate clean electricity for its entire population, and hopes the world can too. On the Danish island of Samso lives a population of people who have learned the importance of their environment. In a decade they have switched from being an entirely coal and fossil fuel run island, to producing all of their energy from wind on their own island. Not only are they producing all of their energy yet they are yielding so much that they can export energy to other areas. “ By 2001, fossil-fuel use on Samso had been cut in half. By 2003, instead of importing electricity, the island was exporting it, and by 2005 it was producing from renewable sources more energy

In the year 1996, Jeff Mangum and his band Neutral Milk Hotel released their debut LP, titled On Avery Island. Initially, the album was all but ignored by the music community, coming from such a small start-up band. Only after the release and success of the band’s second LP, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, did On Avery Island receive much more attention than a glance. Often overshadowed by its more popular sibling, On Avery Island is a wonderful album in its own right. Jeff himself has stated that he prefers it to Aeroplane, having spent much more time emotionally invested in its creation. Jeff wrote the songs for this album over a 9 year period from 1987 to 1996. The song “Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone” was written on the back of a cigarette pack

Thomas’ ship made it to the Atlantic about an hour after daybreak- it was a lot quicker going downriver than up.
