The cost of living in Ireland is one of the steepest in Europe. While supermarkets constantly compete against each other and advertise their falling prices, grocery items are more expensive than in the United States. The prices for electricity and gas have been on the rise annually, as well ...

For instance, compensation for workers who are paid per piece or salespeople who earn a commission on each unit sold would be considered a variable cost. Is electricity a variable cost? Bills for utilities like electricity may increase when production goes up. However, these are still generally ...
In the continental-scale supply system, peripheral regions generate electricity for the central parts of the continent. For example, Ireland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Albania generate more than 400% of their own electricity demand, requiring a land area four times larger than necessary for their ...
The term ‘Final Yield’ (YF) refers to the total alternating current (AC) energy produced by the PV system over a specified time period. It represents the number of hours the PV array would have to run at maximum capacity to generate the same quantity of electricity. This parameter is cr...
Emissions during the industrial processing are largely dependent on what fuel is used to produce the heat, steam and electricity required for manufacture of bioethanol. Energy input for the transformation process is assumed to be the largest part in the bioethanol production system. Hence, efficient ...
The difference between the sales price per unit and the variable cost per unit is called the contribution margin. The higher the margin, the less the number of units required to achieve the break-even quantity. The goal for most businesses it to generate enough sales that at least covers the...

Here, I address why this decision was based on a set of flimsy, internally inconsistent excuses and amounts to a continuation of the IWG’s exclusion of the most relevant science—an exclusion which assures that low, or even negative values of the social cost of carbon (which would imply ...
