Awesome Blogs I Recommend Reading

All of my fellow classmates have done an excellent job in researching and providing information on hot topics in this year's midterm elections.  Here, I have chosen three of these blogs that I find especially interesting and informative in which I would recommend other to read!
This blog concerns the process of fracking used by onshore drilling companies here in America.  Houston Brown clearly discusses his topic throughout the various posts and defines and describes what fracking is, who it concerns, the debate between environmentalists and oil companies, and how this is ultimately affecting the environment and the public.  This blog is extremely informative about the opposing sides of this current issue; the material is well-researched and presented in an unbiased fashion.  I would also like to add that Houston’s site includes a playlist of great music and his witty use of fracking in the title of his blogs gives off a sense of humor and somewhat comical appeal.  If you would like to learn more… go FRACKING check it out!
I would definitely recommend checking out this blog as it discusses a great alternative to fossil fuels using of all things - algae.  Because this blog represents the type of research in alternative fuels that I also advocate for, I found it especially interesting and insightful.  Humanmachine discusses why we are looking to alternative fuels, how it works, and the pros and cons of the algae over fossil fuels.  The information in this blog is also well-examined and includes links to enlightening articles concerning the topic.  Humanmachine does a remarkable job presenting material for both sides of the argument to allow readers to form their own opinions.  Go green!
This blog deals with a major crisis in our economy presently – unemployment.  This topic particularly interests me considering I will be seeking a job within the next few years and I hope to be successful in doing so.  Mr. Cash’s evaluation and analysis of this issue includes information on the debate between the political parties, its current status, and the relevant effects on our economy and people in our society; he also uses proposed methods, such as tax cuts, and reasons, one of them being outsourcing, to further reveal the complexity of the matter at hand.  Even more, he provides statistical data and graphs that demonstrate who is affected and how many Americans are facing this problem.  Altogether, his impartial and educational examination of this important topic is shown through his well-constructed and explored posts.  Read it!
