In a town (before 1950) where high amounts of PVC products were manufactured, many people in the town and surroundings, experience sickness due to the toxin agent vinyl chloride, a byproduct of polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC) reaction.
Hi, can you elaborate on the following: do you think modern day EPA and Federal regulations (if they were similarly in place in the early 1950’s) would have been effective in countering vinyl chloride toxicity problem before it started to affect individuals, or do you think that even with regulation in place this threat might have occurred the same way? Why? Justify your answer.
Why do you think engineers believe that spraying, and not a steady stream of fuel, is more efficient?
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.

- The best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity.

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. Specifically, assume that…arrow_forward
