14. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 33 U.S.C. 2702 to 2761 The Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990 streamlined and strengthened EPA’s ability to prevent and respond to catastrophic oil spills. A trust fund financed by a tax on oil is available to clean up spills when the responsible party is incapable or unwilling to do so. The OPA requires oil storage facilities and vessels to submit to the Federal government plans detailing how they will respond to large discharges. EPA has published regulations for aboveground storage facilities; the Coast Guard has done so for oil tankers. The OPA also requires the development of Area Contingency Plans to prepare and plan for oil spill response on a regional scale.

15. Energy & Efficiency 16- 20% commercial E performs useful work 40% unavoidable waste (2 nd Law of Thermo) 40% Unnecessary waste

16. Commercial Unnecessary waste Incandescent light bulb (5% light + 95% lost as heat) Motor vehicles (heat, unnecessary idling) Nuclear power plant ( 83-92 % wasted) Coal fired E plants loose heat NOW what about PASSIVE Solar heating ? – 90% through window + 10% reflected

17. Yo Using Energy More Efficiently Decrease Use (reduce) & conserve Individual Homes Increase insulation Decrease leaks Fans Lighting Motor vehicle use Plan routes Vehicle maintenance

18. IndUStrial USe Cogeneration – using excess heat or gas for other industrial uses near-by Replacing inefficient motors Recycling materials there decreasing use of raw ores Not using incandescent lights

19. More IndUStrial USe CAFÉ –Corporate Average Fuel Economy 1973 – 1985 US Govt imposed standards To increase fuel efficiency in new vehicles Has since declined d/t no increased standards until 2008 Govt can increase taxes on gasoline
