Complete 4 pages APA formatted article: Ethics of Solar Laboratory,Hydro Power Laboratory and Wind Power Laboratory. In this regard, the general public and other concerned stakeholders are on a high alert on issues ascribed to ethic on the energy production sector. This discussion will focus on the three forms of energy generation, basically explicating ethical considerations on their production.

In as much as there are few ethical issues raised in the field of solar energy production, one of the most evident ethical concerns in this field since the early 1990’s is the cost of production. According to the National Academy of Engineering, production of solar energy is relatively higher, especially when produced on a large scale (Durant, 2012). The high cost of production of this form of energy arises from the fact that the materials used to manufacture solar panels are quite expensive for instance: The National Academy of Engineering noted that most solar panels are manufactured using silicon as a photovoltaic material. silicon is quite expensive thus creating the need for another cheaper alternative photovoltaic material. In this regard, the Academy proposed a number of ways: The first strategy to lower the cost of solar energy generation is to use Cadmium Telluride as a photovoltaic material. this material is relatively cheaper than silicon (Durant, 2012). Moreover, the production of solar energy could also be made cheaper through encouraging mass production of solar energy.

The other ethical issue ascribed to the production of solar energy is its impact of environment. environmentalists have asserted that solar energy is one of the best sources renewable energy owing to the fact that it does not pose any environmental threat that could affect nature and human life (Durant, 2012). Perhaps this is one of the reasons this kind of energy is currently gaining global recognition.

There are various benefits associated with the use of wind power.

ECON2010 Question 1 The production of potato chips (y) requires two inputs: potatoes (p) and oil (o). The production function is given by y = p 1 2 o 1 2 . The market of potato chips is competitive. The market demand for potato chips is given by P(y) = 12 − y where P(y) is the market price when the market output level is y. In addition, every producer takes pp, the price of potatoes, and po, the price of oil, as given. You may assume that po = 1 throughout this question. (a) (This part is here to simplify your work later. If you prefer, you can solve parts (b) to (d) first before returning to part (a).) Find the marginal cost of producing y units of potato chips in terms of pp, the price of potatoes. (Hint: Feel free to copy anything from the answer to the last tutorial exercise.) (b) Suppose pp = 1. Find the marginal cost of producing y units of potato chips. (c) Given pp = 1, find the market price and market output of potato chips. Can you determine the output level of each individual firm? Why or why not? (d) The government, in an attempt to reduce obesity, wants to reduce potato chips consumption by putting a per-unit tax of t on potato chips. What should be the value of t if the government wants to reduce potato chips consumption to half of the market output in (c)? (e) Instead of taxing potato chips, this government decides to tax potatoes. It is putting a per-unit tax of t on potatoes. What should be the value of t if the government wants to reduce potato chips consumption to half of the market output in (c)?
