Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 58Q
Cooking with an electric stove can have a negative effect on the environment, just as one that uses natural gas can, even though gas is not being burned directly. Why is this? Hint: Where does the electricity used to power the stove come from?

How is electricity generated in a photovoltaic system?
a) Describe one Environmental hazard that you are aware of mentioning the causes and how can it be under control?
b) Compare the beneficial effects of renewable and non renewable energy.
The total rate at which power is used by humans worldwideis approximately 15 TW (terawatts). The solar flux averagedover the sunlit half of Earth is 680 W/m2 (assumingno clouds). The area of Earth’s disc as seen from the Sun is1.28 x 1014 m2. The surface area of Earth is approximately197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth’s surfacewould we need to cover with solar energy collectors to powerthe planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energycollectors can convert only 10% of the available sunlightinto useful power.

- End-of-the-Pipe Control versus Pollution Prevention The marginal cost of reduction curve illustrated in Figure 4.5 assumes a particular approach to reducing pollution, often called end-of-the-pipe control. In other words, when we draw that upward-sloping MC curve, we assume that firms respond to regulation by maintaining the same basic production technology but adding on scrubbers or filters to clean up their emissions. Under these conditions, rising marginal costs of reduction are quite likely. However, suppose that firms radically overhaul their production technology, so that they completely eliminate emissions. This is known as a “pollution prevention” strategy. An example might be a jeweler, who in the face of regulation adopts a closed-loop production system. This is one in which all mineral waste products are recovered from recycled wastewater and then reused. What would the marginal cost of reduction diagram look like in this case? a.
