Summary Introduction
To analyze: The price of energy and its real costs. The study of the factors involved in the hidden environmental costs that are not reflected in the real price of the fossil fuels. Also determine the appropriate costs and prices of oil by the manufacturers and investors of shares in the company.
Introduction: The price of setting up various big industries is very costly and expensive for the manufacture of the goods and products. The machines which are manufactured and established in the companies require a tremendous investment from the businessmen and share holding partners. It depends upon appropriate investment policies with genuineness in the partnership relationships. The exhaust of these industries is a serious environmental threat along with the dumping of the toxic byproducts into the rivers and oceans, which causes a threat to the existing species of plants and animals.

Students have asked these similar questions
When a fossil fuel reserves decreases, the cost of fossil fuel energy will be more affordable for most people . Why is this an unlikely scenario?
China and the United States, combined, use what percentage of the
world's energy?
4%
O 12%
O 39%
59%
84%
Given the irreversibility of burning up fossil fuel Reserve, what steps should we take to promote energy conservation? Should energy be taxed at a high rate? Should we assume that natural gas and other energy sources will become available as they are needed?

This means that the system does not observe the output of the processes that it is controlling. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness. Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired output. 3) The image shown above is the Carbon cycle. What kind of system is the Carbon cycle?
