Agricultural runoff is a major source of pesticide and excess nutrient pollution. This is a particular problem in Indiana. Why do you think more has not been done to control these contaminants? 2. How probable do you think that it is that laws will be enacted requiring automakers to pay o environmental damage due to cars, and that automobiles will be more costly in the future as a result? 3. Some people believe that nuclear power is necessary in order to deal with the climate crisis. How do you think the dangers from nuclear waste compare to the dangers from a destabilized climate
