Negative Externalities We live and work in a world driven by a fossil fueled economy. Our cars and other dominant forms of transport run primarily on gasoline derived from oil. Our homes and work places stay heated and cooled using electricity generated by utilities heavily dependent on coal. Many air pollution issues such as climate change‚ acid rain and smog are directly related to our energy choices. Solutions to air quality issues range from calls for greater energy efficiency to increased

NUCLEAR POWER IS NOT THE ANSWER by Helen Caldicott [Editor’s note: The following is the Introduction to Dr. Helen Caldicott’s new book Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer.] “[Nuclear power] is a very important part of our energy policy today in the U.S. . . . America’s electricity is already being provided through the nuclear industry efficiently‚ safely‚ and with no discharge of greenhouse gases or emissions.” —Vice President Cheney in a speech to the Nuclear Energy Institute‚ May 22‚ 2001 “The 103

and firms. In other words‚ it assumes a relatively elastic demand for electricity”. This is not a contradiction‚ in fact‚ it is the contrast of the long – run and short – run effects of the tax on this good. On the other hand‚ the elasticity of renewable energy is different‚ we can say this based on the long time effects that this situation might bring. The second diagram shown in the article clearly

Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that may raise average temperatures on Earth. The burning of fossil fuels could be responsible for the increased levels of carbon dioxide. If current trends continue‚ future concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) could reach the levels shown in the accompanying table. The CO2 concentration in the year 2000 was greater than it had been at any time in the previous 160‚000 years. Year 2000
