Enablers:
- Sulfur dioxides (SO2)
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- Power plants: In the US electricity generation is responsible for 2/3 of the SO2, and 1/4th of the NOx output.
- Cars/Trucks: Most of the remaining SO2/NOx output is due to traffic.
- Increasing power demand, both in home and gasoline, thus population growth is again an enabler.
Inhibitors:
- Home insulation
- Power efficient/saving equipment
- Environment friendly cars
- Carpooling
- Stricter government polution laws
- Alternative energy sources
Paradigms:
Before: Little was known on the effects of power generation and buring of fossile fuels. After: More knowledge in the effects of industry and electronic devices on the environment. How the extra SO2, and NOx emission have worsening effects on our habitat. Acid rain can cause serious issues between neighboring countries because sometimes the victims of the phenomena are not identical to its generator. Like Korea, people suffer from acid rain which is mixed with yellow dust in every spring. It is necessary to establish an reasonable international standard for disputes on such environmental issues. Otherwise it is likely to incur political tension between many countries.
Experts:
U.S. Environmental Protecting Agency, among the many other environmentologists.
Timing:
Industrialization.
