Question

1. how do Environmental Pollution, Limited Energy Resources, Uneven Geographical Distribution of Energy, and CO2 Emissions and Climate Change compare in the severity of their impact and cost of their mitigation strategies?

2. Rate the following electricity sources for their contribution to climate change from most to least: biomass, coal, solar, wind, nuclear, natural gas, oil, geothermal, hydroelectric, MSW. Is there any compelling reason not to use any of the carbon neutral (no net carbon emissions) sources?

3. The United States' electricity supply is provided primarily by coal, natural gas, nuclear, and hydropower. How safe are these fuel supplies from interruption by international disasters, weather events or geopolitical tension?

4. How do cultural social norms and values come into play with these types of systems?

Explanation / Answer

The environmental pollution and CO2 emissions are the most critical things which have worst effect on the environment and the human health. These problems should be controlled to have a better life expectancy. And also they have high cost of mitigatation strategies.

Limited energy sources and the uneven geographical distribution of energy is next big problem which makes countries more economically weak and directly impact to the common people.

2. Most to least order:-

Coal, biomass, geothermal, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric, wind, msw, solar.

3. Thses fuels are not very safe as afuel supplies from interruption by international disasters, weather events or geopolitical tension.
