Econ 339: Topic #6 Cap and Trade or Carbon Tax Wade Wong 25967118 Catherine Douglas Econ 339 University of British Columbia November 28 2012 The progress of technology change has increased dramatically around 1960-2012‚ a lot has been changed for the better of the world‚ and some technologies do not share the same path. Many of them are disembodied technology as process of production‚ methods‚ and labour efficiency has been vastly improved. On the other hand because most production or technology

In 2010‚ Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard decided to implement carbon tax in order to gain more support in response to the change in climate (http://isen.northwestern.edu/doc/pdf/URG-ISEN_ALloyd.Jun12_ProjectSummary.pdf) and on the 8th of November 2011‚ the ‘Clean Energy Legislative Package’ is then passed by the Senate which sets out the way that Australia will introduce the carbon tax to reduce carbon pollution (http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_AU/au/services/assurance/accountingtechnical/wha

Carbon Footprint briefly defined is the amount of CO2 left behind after any human activity. They can be classified into primary and secondary footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] Primarily‚ it is the direct emission of CO2 from burning fossil fuels or any kind of fuels. They are considered the main and biggest source of CO2 emission‚ thus the having biggest Carbon Footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] The CO2 emissions from all products and their life-cycles are considered as secondary footprints. The life-cycle

Carbon Nanotubes Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a recently discovered allotrope of carbon. They take the form of cylindrical carbon molecules and have novel properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of applications in nanotechnology‚ electronics‚ optics‚ and other fields of materials science. They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties‚ and are efficient conductors of heat. Inorganic nanotubes have also been synthesized. A nanotube is a member

Respiration  Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules‚ like glucose‚ to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. (Link to a discussion of glycolysis)

Carbon nanotubes describes a specific topic within solid state physics‚ but is also of interest in other sciences like chemistry or biology‚ actually the topic has coating boundaries‚ because we are on the molecule level. The carbon nanotubes have in the recent years become more and more popular to the scientists. Initially‚ it was the spectacularly

Carbon Nanofibers Carbon nanofibers can simply be known as nanostructures with bonded carbon atoms that has a molecule composed entirely of carbon in shape of hollow sphere‚ ellipsoid or tube. The layers are usually wrapped up to form carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes are usually constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1. Basically‚ carbon nanofibers can be used very commonly in future as the technology for it is really taking its shape. It can be used for sensors‚ bone growth‚

Carbon and Its Compounds Carbon: Introduction Atomic Number: 6 Electronic Configuration: 2‚ 4 Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance: Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon: The Covalent Bond
