With the huge number of changes happening all at once, identifying and keeping ahead of trends is what will generate long-term success. Specifically, Mexican Manufacturing is key to cost-control Mexican manufacturing key to the aerospace industryPR Newswire 11 ("Mexico Becoming a New Manufacturing World Hub in the Aerospace Market", PR Newswire. 7/28/11.

Economic decline causes war- studies prove Less intuitive is how periods of economic decline may increase the likelihood of external conflict Additionally, blackouts lead to meltdowns at nuclear reactorsEarth Issues, 2011 ("Experts: Move to protect nuke plants from solar flare damage," March 5, http://www.earth-issues.com/2011/03/experts-move-to-protect-nuke-plants-from-solar-flare-damage/-http://www.earth-issues.com/2011/03/experts-move-to-protect-nuke-plants-from-solar-flare-damage/) Nuclear power plants are not themselves self-powered and require a tie-in This causes dozens of meltdowns – there will be 30 Chernobyls in the US alonePopular Science, June 30, 2011 (Damon Tabor, "Are We Prepared for a Catastrophic Solar Storm?," http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-05/are-we-prepared-catastrophic-solar-storm) The impact outweighs nuclear warLendman, Research Associate of the Center for Research on Globalization, 2011 (Stephen, "Nuclear Meltdown in Japan," http://www.opednews.com/articles/Nuclear-Meltdown-in-Japan-by-Stephen-Lendman-110313-843.html) Smart Grids are feasible and Solve BlackoutsAmin, University of Minnesota Chair in Technological Leadership and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Schewe, American Institute of Physics chief science writer, 2008 The result is that no single operator or utility can stabilize or isolate a transmission Flying the grid begins with a different kind of system design. Recent research from A self-healing smart grid can best be built if its architects try to fulfill three primary objectives. The most fundamental is real-time monitoring and reaction. An array of sensors would monitor electrical parameters such as voltage and current, as well as the condition of critical components. These measurements would enable the system to constantly tune itself to an optimal state. The second goal is anticipation. The system must constantly look for potential problems that The third objective is isolation. If failures were to occur, the whole network Developing an effective transmission system is a pre-req to US-Mexico Smart Grid Current Investment is not enough- new advancements need to be madeReynolds, University of Tennessee Professor of Law, 2012 But don’t get too comfortable. America’s grid has its own problems, and not enough is being done to address them. And, ironically, because American electric supplies have generally been pretty reliable, we’re in some ways worse-equipped to handle a major power outage than India is. That’s also something we should probably be doing something about, both at the national level and as individuals. Modern civilization is astoundingly dependent on electricity. If the power goes out for very The more advanced state of the U.S. grid is a mixed blessing Even worse: Americans aren’t as prepared for power outages as Indians are. In India—or Nigeria, where I have family—no one is surprised when the power goes out. As a result, everyone has a backup plan. Blackouts are so common that dealing with them isn’t really a backup plan at all—just part of the plan. Here, that’s not the case. Most critical operations do have backup generators, That means two things: First, we have to do what we can to harden our infrastructure to make the threat of blackouts less likely. Second, we should be prepared for the worst. On the infrastructure-hardening front, approaches range from the obvious, like burying The experiment was troubling: Although engineers have the technical skills to do the job Right now, if more than a few transformers were knocked out at once, Plan: | 9/8/13 |
