Here's for one of them:

Type: Nuclear

Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.

Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)

Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)

Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.

How do economic barriers to trade impact countries that enact them? Select all that apply.
Schach [20]

Answer:

A by causing real median household incomes to decline

C by limiting consumer choice

Explanation:

Negative effects of trade barriers (protectionism) policies include the following:

- weakening competition in the domestic market, and, consequently, incentives to improve production decsrease;

- the welfare of the population is decreasing due the rise in price of imported goods and the relative high cost of domestic goods, the deterioration of the quality of domestic goods, and the restriction of the freedom of choice of consumers;

- the country will suffer large losses due to the non-use of the absolute and relative advantages of the international division of labor and exchange.

This is confirmed, in particular, by the fact that after the Second World War, the gradual removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas, stimulated growth and increased the level of welfare wherever this happened, partly due to the expansion of the choice of goods for the population at lower prices. More importantly, trade also had a powerful beneficial effect on productivity, that is, on the efficient use of world resources for the production of economic goods.
