Question
1a. Identify each of the following factors as being either a cost of fossil fuels or a benefit of fossil fuels.(10 points)
COST OF FOSSIL FUELS BENEFIT OF FOSSIL FUELS
fossil fuels provide source of molecules used for plastic and other products
pollution from leaks
damage to environment in areas where drilling takes place
source of energy that works well with existing infrastructure
drilling sites take less space than windmill farms and solar panel farms
loss of habitat in areas where drilling takes place
financial benefits for employees of fuel-related businesses
pollution from waste produced during drilling
fossil fuels are non-renewable and will eventually be depleted
excess greenhouse gases from burning

Clean Water Act
negative outcomes
Clean Air Act
cost-benefit analysis
consumption
positive outcomes
conservation
alternative energy source
costs
an energy that does not use fossil fuels
enacted rules to reduce water pollution
enacted rules to help reduce air pollution; for example, cars now must have emission control devices
benefits
using resources (often means "using them up")
using fewer/less resources; tring to save as mush of a resourse as possible
a study that estimates both postive outcomes and the negtive outcomes of any plan
