natural gas from rock

1. Identify and describe TWO water-related environmental problems associated with fracking.

• Incentive Programs

• Infrastructure Investment

1. Natural gas is considered to be a better fossil fuel for the environment than coal is. Discuss TWO environmental benefits of using natural gas as a fuel compared to using coal

 Regulatory Support: Enforcing stricter emissions standards for traditional vehicles and offering regulatory support for BEV manufacturers could promote a shift towards cleaner transportation.

1. Describe TWO environmental drawbacks, not related to water use, of using the fracking process to extract natural gas from shale

The cost of gasoline per mile can be calculated by dividing the cost per gallon by the miles per gallon:

\[ \text{Cost per mile} = \frac{\text{Cost per gallon}}{\text{Miles per gallon}} \]

\[ \text{Cost per mile} = \frac{\$3.75}{25} \]

\[ \text{Cost per mile} = \$0.15 \]

1. Nuclear power is an alternative to using natural gas or coal as a fuel for generating electricity. However, there are also problems associated with nuclear power plants. Describe TWO negative environmental impacts associated with nuclear power.

1. Job Creation: The growth of the electric vehicle industry may lead to the creation of new jobs in manufacturing, maintenance, and research related to BEVs.

2. Reduced Dependence on Oil: As more BEVs replace traditional vehicles, there could be a positive economic impact by reducing a country's dependence on oil imports, potentially improving trade balances.
