Article Analysis Economics can be explained as the study of consumption, production, distribution of goods and services that are used by all people. Microeconomics can be explained as the study of economics as it pertains to the consumers. The law of supply and demand is a function of microeconomics. The premise of this law is that if the supply or demand of a good or services will increase, than the quantity or price of the goods or service will increase as well. The reverse of this is also

2050 the energy consumption rate is predicted to have tripled in number. With coal being one of the main energy sources used to produce electricity due to its cost efficiency and high reserve levels. However it does release drastic amounts of the toxic gas Carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, at the staggering rate of 40% of the coal used is wasted and released back into the atmosphere as carbon monoxide. Mining for coal also damages the landscape and potentially threatens the habitats of wildlife

pressure. • Biggest emitters- o Coal fired power plants- Coal accounts for nearly 50 percent of the electricity generated in this country—and almost 50 tons of mercury emissions annually. o Cement kilns- all the cement kilns in the U.S. combined pump out roughly 23,000 pounds of mercury every year. The group released a report last July finding that, individually, some cement kilns emit nearly one and a half times more mercury than the most polluting coal-fired power plants. o Trash incinerators.

safeguard activists across the world. As a result, the mitigation processes have had a slow but progressive response in the adoption of clean energy by various institutions across the globe. One of the focuses of the source of clean energy is solar power. The adoption of source of energy would significantly decrease the levels of global warming and ultimately, the termination of unpredictable climatic patterns (Craddock, 2008). The research paper will focus on the assessment of fossil energy versus

oxygen into heat, which is then transformed into the propulsive energy (kinetic energy that moves a vehicle). A solar cell converts solar radiation into electrical energy that can then be used to light a bulb or power a computer. In the modern world we use energy for anything such as to power our house, to drive our car, cellphones and many other devices. We can take the most common use of energy transformation use now which is oil to electricity. Conventional steam - Oil is burned to heat water to

deposition. Acid Rain is caused by a surplus of the chemicals sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide caused by air pollution. Air pollution comes from two main sources man made sources and natural sources. Man made sources come from combustion of coal used in power plants and exhaust pipes and natural sources come from volcanoes. They have many effects on the environment such as runoffs that lead chemicals into the streams and humans with respiratory illnesses that can worsen if the chemicals become too

this paper is to expand previous analysis of the external costs of electric power generation in South Africa. We present a quantitative analysis of air pollution impacts on human health, damages from greenhouse gas emissions, and the avoided health costs from electrification, as well as discussing other impacts qualitatively. The central estimate of total external costs is R7.3 billion, or 4.4 cents per unit of coal-fired power generated. Relative to current electricity prices, the external costs are
