This article looks at major Southeast Asian refugee groups in North Carolina to compare them with each other in the same state and with success of the same groups in other states.

With the exceptional price increases and costs associated with conventional forms of energy, one must seriously consider the advantages of integrating alternative forms of energy with those already in existence. Energy may come from different sources and their predominance within geographic regions relies on a variety of physical factors and ancillary issues required to implement these practices.

This article uses Geographic Information Systems to study the feasibility of using wind as a viable energy source in North Carolina.
