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.

In five to six sentences, use what you have learned to
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The costs of passing a bill that prohibits child labor is precisely that all the labor that children could have provided for the economy is forgone. So in pure economic terms, there is a loss of value, a sunk cost.

However, the benefit is both economic, and social. The economic benefit is that children will instead go to school, and educate themselves to become more productive workers in the future. And the social benefit is a fairer society, and wealthier too.
