Coal and India best friends? Or Foes...

Hello,

Welcome to my blog, my name is LJ of course. In this unit, we worked on looking at a country's fossil fuel output and input, so many countries use so much fossil fuels it's crazy!

We had to make a slideshow about a country of choice and a fossil fuel, I chose India and the fossil fuel and I chose Coal.

India had a huge coal shortage in December of 2021. It was detrimental

More than half of the country's 135 coal-fired power plants are running on fumes - as coal stocks run critically low.

In a country where 70% of the electricity is generated using coal, this is a major cause for concern as it threatens to derail India's pandemic economic recovery.

India is a very coal dependent country, with the sudden sharp and steep decline of coal, the country is look at an all out full scale blackout.
My fuel is Coal
This coal is primarily used to generate electricity at 135 coal-based power plants.
This fuel is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to form.
in the Raniganj Coalfield along the Western bank of Damodar River in India.
Coal is the cheapest of all fossil fuels
Coal can be used with renewables to reduce emissions
Coal offers a rather low capital investment
Now there are manyyyy more pros than cons but lets dig into some of those cons
Coal power can create high levels of radiation
Even clean coal still has high level of methane
Coal emissions are linked to health concerns

Slide show

In India, coal consumption increased year-on-year, while in the United States, coal consumption decreased year-by-year I think the reason for the decline in US coal consumption is the low international coal demand and the low coal demand in the US power sector. I think India`s coal consumption will continue to increase due to a combination of supply factors and a decline in coal imports. I think the same can be said for India as the cost continues to rise due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Finally, I think coal will continue to decline due to low demand for coal in the United States.

How deep do your values go?

Welcome to my first AP of the term in Forbidden Books . This class, as the name states, is about censored/banned books and literature. We will dig deeper into understanding the reasons why books and texts were banned. We have had the opportunity to start the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which was banned in the United States, South Africa, and multiple school districts around the US. For the first portion of this unit, we learned about a Socratic seminar and the "Socratic method." The Socratic method is a form of teaching and learning that involves asking questions instead of providing answers. It is a method of discussion, often used in philosophy and critical thinking. The goal of the Socratic method is to encourage critical thinking and understanding by asking questions that challenge assumptions and lead to deeper understanding. For this Action Project, we had to have two people: Person one (Joe Walters) plays as Socrates, the questioner, and the second pers...

Redefining Queenship: Gender, Power, and Ambition in Shakespeare's Macbeth

Welcome to my blog, In our first Drama unit, we tackled the question, "How do we respond to gender norms and stereotypes?" To explore this, we dove into the works of William Shakespeare, examining how theater can inspire social change. We focused on Macbeth , using the play as a lens to question traditional gender roles and the evolving concept of what it means to be a queen. This was the perfect foundation for the unit, letting us dig deeper into our own ideas of strength and duty. To me, a queen is someone who puts her role before herself, making difficult choices—even ones that might be considered morally complex. While we didn’t have many field trips, we had inspiring guest speakers. Regina Taylor, known for her role as Michelle Obama's mother in The First Lady and her work in Lovecraft Country , shared her insights on how storytelling can bridge divides of race, gender, and class. She likened the influence of media to the civil rights movem...

Penguins:

In the second unit of my class Population, we learned a lot about the evolution of the earth. We went to Lincoln Park Zoo, to see how different animals look alike and how closely they were related. We also learned about different math concepts such as standard deviation and how to categorize a data set. My project is based on the King Penguin, the King Penguin is 1 of 18 members of its family. There are about 18–21 species in 1 family (Spheniscidae) with 6 species found in oceans of the Southern Hemisphere. The data I chose to focus on was the average life span of a King Penguin, so below I have data in the range of their life span. a) 10 b) 9 c) 3 d) 9 e) 27 f) 21 g) 13 h) 3 i) 19 j) 22 k) 10 l) 12 Mean 13.166666666667 Median 11 Mode 10, 9, 3 Range 24 Minimum 3 Maximum 27 The Box and Whisker plot helps show how the data is distributed, this also gives an idea as to the lifespan data. nPr : 12! (12 - 3)! = 1320 nCr : 12! (3!(12-3)!) 1...
