Despite the appeal of renewable energy sources, they currently comprise less than 14% of our global energy supply and generate less than 19% of our electricity. moreover, the "new renewables" account for only a very small fraction of these numbers. the fact that renewables provide little of our energy is a dilemma with multiple causes and consequences. however, most renewable sources are now expanding quickly, and there are many ways in which we can encourage their development and spread.

which of the following statements would you classify as consequences of the relatively low utilization of renewables in our energy mix? select all that are true.

(1) inclusion of the environmental costs of fossil fuels in their price
(2) fossil fuel combustion creates smog and acid precipitation
(3) a shift of federal subsidies from fossil fuels to renewables
(4) fossil fuels are far cheaper than renewables
(5) fossil fuel industry receives government subsidies

Recall that areas with high net primary productivity not only produce high levels of biomass rapidly, they also take up large amounts of co2 and give off large amounts of oxygen. what is the likely result of the increasing amounts of sediments and fertilizers in the major rivers emptying into oceans and affecting algal beds, reefs, swamps, and estuaries? a fisheries will improve as the extra nutrients feed shellfish and fish. b eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and more oxygen released. c productivity in these areas will increase permanently, leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. d eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to more co2 uptake and more oxygen released. e eutrophication, followed by hypoxia, is a likely result, ultimately leading to less co2 uptake and less oxygen released.
