Guided by the vision of presidents Theodore Roosevelt1 and William Taft,2 the US 1) began exerting greater political influence in North America and the Caribbean.3 2) completed the Panama Canal4—making it much faster and cheaper to ship its goods around the world. 3) entered its "Progressive Era" by a) passing anti-trust laws to Break up corporate monopolies, b) abolishing child labor in favor of federally-funded puBlic education, and c) initiating the first federal oversight of food and drug quality. 4) grew to 48 states coast-to-coast (1912). 5) ratified the 16th Amendment—estaBlishing a federal income tax (1913).

  • Alternative Fuels in Puerto Rico
    Faculty Code: REL Project Sequence: 6342 IQP Division: 42 Alternative Fuels in Puerto Rico An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Sponsoring Agency: Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration Submitted by: _______________________ Sean Dillon _______________________ Fatima Zahra Mahhou _______________________ Kortni Violette Date: May 5, 2011 Submitted to: Damarys González and Alexis Miranda Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration Prof. Reinhold Ludwig and Prof. Svetlana Nikitina Worcester Polytechnic Institute i | P a g e Abstract Puerto Rico relies completely on imported fossil fuels for transportation fuels. This has had negative impacts on the environment and the economy. The Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration (PREAA) is interested in adopting an alternative fuels policy similar to the EPA‟s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The alternative fuels that this project focuses on are biodiesel and ethanol. The goal of our project was to determine what federal and state policies exist in the United States and how these fuel policies could be applied to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in an effort to introduce biodiesel or ethanol as a transportation fuel. ii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our group would like to express our appreciation to the following people whose contributions helped us to complete this project: Damarys Gonzalez, our project liaison The Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration (PREAA), Alexis Miranda, Odin Castillo, Erica Rivera, Luis Osorio, Luis Bernal, and Andre Mesa Reinhold Ludwig and Svetlana Nikitina, our project advisors Susan Vernon-Gerstenfeld, the Puerto Rico project site advisor Thank you for your insight and support throughout the project.

Historical Note: In the summer of 1990, Saddam Hussein led the Iraqi army in an invasion of Kuwait, the small neighboring country that contains six percent of the world’s oil reserves. U.S. President George H. W. Bush saw the invasion as a threat not only to the international economy, but also to post- Cold-War international diplomacy. With support from the United Nations Security Council, Bush organized a coalition that included the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and Egypt among others, to send military forces into Kuwait, hoping to both expel Hussein’s army, and demonstrate the power of international cooperation. The resultant Gulf War (also known as the Persian Gulf War or the First Gulf War) lasted from August 2, 1990 to February 28, 1991. It was fought in two stages. The first, codenamed “Operation Desert Shield,” involved the installation of allied troops in Saudi Arabia to secure the border. The second stage, initiated on January 17, 1991 and codenamed “Operation Desert Storm,” was the combat phase.

  • 3 Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action and Mitigation Measures
    3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF PROPOSED ACTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES 3.1 Topography, Geology and Soils The construction of the Project will require typical earthworks activities such as cut and fill. However, it is not anticipated that these activities will cause significant impacts on the geomorphology, topography and soils of the Site as these were largely impacted by the construction and operation of the former paper mill. Neither is expected that earthworks for the off-site components of the Project will cause significative impacts on these resources, as they also constitute areas previously impacted by road construction (PR-2, etc.) and the Central Cambalache Sugar Mill. Earthworks activities at the Site include the deposit of approximately 382,000 cubic meters of artificial fill and compaction of fill, in a 2-3 meters range above existing grade in areas where the structural elements of the Project will be located. It also requires the extraction and removal of alluvium or alluvial deposits to secure the necessary foundations and structural elements. The preliminary geotechnical study performed at the Site indicates that structures must be founded on pile type deep foundations, due to the inability of soils to withstand structural loading, which will also cause a temporary direct impact on the geomorphology of the area where earth crust material will be removed to drive foundations. However, due to the small footprint impact of drilling areas for the piles and because it will be a temporary impact, these activities are not expected to result in significant adverse impacts. Extraction or cutting of earth crust materials (alluvium) is also contemplated on the western portion of the Site and out of the Project’s construction foot print to temper or adjust existing conditions within the Site to the recommendations of the H-H Study (see Appendix B ).
