GEOS 1024 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Alternative Energy, Boron Group, Electronic Waste
Document Summary
Each year in the us over 5000 million tons of waste is generated. State warms residents near coal ask spil to avod fish, contact with river water. Duke energy: in nc, coal is an important portion of energy generated, coal ash is left afterwards, which needs to be disposed of, this is ending up in the river and causing a number of negative impacts. Waste management issues, applied, water disposal and induced seismicity. What is the relationship between wastewater disposal and earthquakes. Inject water into subsurface allows earthquakes to form. In ohio, bad water was taken and put into subsurface, allowing potentially induced earthquakes. The amount of energy wasted from the al cans not recycled in 2006 would be sufficient to supply the total energy needs of 1. 8 american homes a year. Recovery rates are more than two and a half times higher than states without bottle bills. Life cycle of a product, cradle to grave mentality.
