 * Jerusalem - helps industries - country's capital; full of people
 * Tel Aviv - helps industries - full of people
 * Haifa - helps industries - full of people
 * Bethlehem - helps industries - very popular place for tourists
 * Neger Desert - hurts industries - not many people; takes up 60% of land space in country; no resources


 * Situational factors for industry**
 * Jordan River - good transportation
 * Dead Sea - good transportation; many minerals in water that can be used as resources
 * Jerusalem - has many markets; less cost for transporting
 * Lebanese Mntns. - hurts industries; no markets; bad for transporting; no materials

- Israel is dependent on Arab oil and natural gas; officials say that oil and natural gas sources will disappear in next 20 years (along with fuel oil and diesel); Israel leads world in solar energy use, mostly used for heating water.
 * Types of energy used**

- burning oil and and natural gas can cause air pollution problems, or even water pollution, if industries decide to dump their wastes into the water; oil and natural gas are nonrenewable resources, and using them for energy all of the time with use up a lot of those resources, and eventually cause them to run out; however, solar energy is renewable and a good way to produce energy, so there are no problems with that.
 * Problems with energy used**

//Major water pollution// - most streams and rivers have chemical industrys that dump waste directly into them. //Major air pollution// - in cities mostly; mostly due to industrial and auto emissions. //Major land pollution// - landfills and disposal sites poorly designed.
 * Pollution issues**

//Water pollution// - Israeli Union for Environmental Defense won two major cases against major water polluters in Haifa. //Air pollution// - Israel made a shift to low sulfar coal and reduced the lead content in gasoline to decrease sulfur oxide and lead emissions. //Land pollution// - safe disposal of bottles campaigns, institution of eco-labeling on environment-friendly products, and various clean-up and recycling campaigns; they are building better, more economically sound landfills.
