Ausubel of Rockefeller University in New York, US says the key renewable energy sources, including sun, wind and biofuels, would all require vast (31) of land if developed up to large scale production – unlike nuclear power That land would be far better left alone, he says Renewables look attractive when they are quite small But if we start producing renewable energy

on a large scale, the fallout is going to be horrible Instead, Ausubel argues (32) renewed development of nuclear

Ausubel draws his conclusions by analysing the amount of energy renewables, natural gas and nuclear can produce in terms of power per square metre of land used Moreover, he claims that

as renewable energy use increases, this measure of efficiency will (33) as the best land for wind, biofuels, and solar power gets used up

Using biofuels to obtain the same amount of energy as a 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant would require 2500 square kilometres of farm land, Ausubel says “We should be sparing land for nature, not using it as pasture for cars and trucks,” he adds

Solar power is much more efficient than biofuel in terms of the area of land (34) , but it would still require 150 square kilometres of photovoltaic cells to (35) the energy production

of the 1000 MW nuclear plant In another example, he says meeting the 2005 US electricity demand via wind power alone would need 780,000 square kilometres, an area the size of Texas

to 42.

Carbon monoxide poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world The gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat It is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather

Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air The gas has no color It has no taste It has no smell It does not cause burning eyes And it does not cause people to cough But it is very deadly It robs the body of its ability to use oxygen

Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues It does this by linking with the blood When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it

Damage to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide How quickly this happens depends on the length of time a person is breathing the gas and the amount of the gas he or she breathes in

Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs But people have to be awake to recognize

them Small amounts of the gas will cause a person’s head to hurt He or she may begin to feel

tired The person may feel sick The room may appear to be turning around The person may have

trouble thinking clearly People develop severe head pain as the amount of gas continues to enter

their blood They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy They may have terrible stomach pains Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently For example, a small child will experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will The general health of the person

or his or her age can also be important An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects

of carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems People with heart disease may suffer chest pains They may begin to have trouble breathing
