Based on the above data, which reason most likely explains why countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia have a higher per capita electricity use compared with countries like Bolivia, India, and Indonesia? The United States, Canada, and Australia are developing countries with economies based on agriculture. The United States, Canada, and Australia are developing countries in which energy con- sumption is decreasing due to increased energy efficiency. The United States, Canada, and Australia are developed countries with advanced tech- nological infrastructure. The United States, Canada, and Australia are developed countries that do not have ad- vanced technological infrastructure.

A nation’s population size and the affluence of its citizenseach influence its resource consumption and environmentalimpact. As of 2013, the world’s population passed 7.1 billion,average per capita income was $11,690 per year, and the latest estimate for the world’s average ecological footprint was2.7 hectares (ha) per person. The sampling of data in the tablewill allow you to explore patterns in how population, affluence,and environmental impact are related. Draw a graph illustrating total impact (on the y axis) inrelation to affluence (on the x axis). What do the resultssuggest to you?

How do you think the situation will look like in a future (say 2050) more sustainable world? ( 1 to 2 Paragraphs)2. List three examples of energy production and use practices that you think are unsustainable. Also explain why they are unsustainable and how we might make each of them more sustainable.

This is a question from Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap (2nd edition): If world energy use increases linearly, use Figure 2.13 to estimate the annual percentage increase for OECD and non-OECD countries from 1990 to 2035 relative to the use in 1990. Here is some information about this figure: 1990 OECD 217 QBtu total 355 QBtu non-OECD 138 QBtu 2035 OECD 293 QBtu total 774 QBtu no-OECD 481 QBtu I also attached the figure: Do I find the overall percent increase and divide it by (2035 - 1990 ) or 45?

Two important industries on the island of Bermuda are fishing and tourism.According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationsand the Bermuda Department of Statistics, in 2009 the 306 registered fishermen inBermuda caught 387 metric tons of marine fish. And the 2,719 people employed byhotels produced 554,400 hotel stays (measured by the number of visitor arrivals).Suppose that this production point is efficient in production. Assume also that theopportunity cost of 1 additional metric ton of fish is 2,000 hotel stays and that thisopportunity cost is constant (the opportunity cost does not change).a. If all 306 registered fishermen were to be employed by hotels (in addition to the2,719 people already working in hotels), how many hotel stays could Bermudaproduce?
4 Time remaining: 00:09:27 Economics Hurdle rates (minimum required rates of return) are often used by development banks such as the World Bank. Suppose the World Bank hurdle rate is 3%. The World bank is currently evaluating a carbon investment in Brazil that will require 1.35 million dollars given to Brazil now, in return for Brazil setting aside forest land and then returning 2.0 million dollars back to a carbon credit owned by the bank in 10 years. The world bank has already paid 1 million dollars in the past two years to set up a carbon payment fund that can generally be used for these purposes. Will the following investment in this carbon market make sense for the World Bank? A. No because the rate of return is equal to 2.4% B. No, because the opportunity cost of waiting is too high C. Yes, because the ratio of benefits to costs is greater than 3% D. Yes, because the rate of return is equal to 4.0%
We are all aware that there are many natural resources, fossil fuels like coal, crude petroleum, mineral resources etc, which are essential inputs in modern manufacturing / production processes, and are available in limited stock (i.e., are exhaustible). In this discussion please discuss the role of technology in efficient utilization of these exhaustible resources which you might have come across in your own work experience. You could also discuss instances of firms taking steps to adopt renewable natural resources to cut down their reliance on exhaustible resources. 350 words and use refernces
