The obtained results indicate that individuals' beliefs about wind turbines' negative impacts on environment, landscape, human health and wellbeing have distinct effects on people's preferences concerning renewable energy development. Additionally, the results denote that people who generally hold an ...
around innovation needs and rapid technological change, termination of NETs at the end of the twenty-first century or the impacts of climate change on the effectiveness of NETs that have not been widely appreciated. Future research needs to explore the role of climate damages on NET uptake, ...
Here we quantify the human health impacts of DACCS and BECCS in terms of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), alongside their planetary footprint on seven Earth-system processes key to maintaining the Earth’s stability. We found that DACCS and BECCS could preserve a substantial number of yea...
Existing approaches to modelling the impacts of reforestation on tropical hydrology only simulate one or two changes, thereby limiting our ability to quantify the balance between complex positive and negative changes, even for a single micro-basin. To initiate a more holistic and multi-scale approach...
There exist studies that focus on the energy impacts of intelligent vehicle. These studies discussed the energy savings of intelligent vehicles. However, few studies are conducted to evaluate negative impact of intelligent vehicles on energy consumption. As developing intelligent vehicles is the trend of...
Scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5 °C describe major transformations in energy supply and ever-rising energy demand. Here, we provide a contrasting perspective by developing a narrative of future change based on observable trends that results in low energy demand. We describe and quantify...
The impact of carbon emissions on society is divided into market-based and non-market-based impacts, with market-based impacts on agriculture, energy, sea level, wood and water; Non-market impacts include human health, human comfort,migration, material damage, and disasters caused by extreme weat...
“These extreme, multiday events tend to cluster and overlap, worsening the health impacts beyond the sum of their individual effects,” says UCI professor of Earth system science Michael Prather, co-author of the study.Photo credit: Daniel A. Anderson / UCIMeteorologically, slow-...

Natural windAir flow deflectorsIn order to reduce the unfavorable impacts of natural wind, the arc curved air flow deflectors were proposed to be settled around the natural draft dry cooling tower. Based on 2 脳 600 MW indirect air cooling power generating units, the thermo-fluid models of ...
