To keep the gears of America’s economy turning, energy workers need to drill deep into the Earth for explosive gas and flammable oil, a dangerous occupation.
New research finds that switching to a renewable energy system based on sun and wind for Ibook G4 12 battery Ibook G4 14 battery would provide safer working conditions and prevent more than 130 job-related deaths in the United States each year by significantly reducing the need for mining. The study is published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In the paper, Peter Layde, a professor in the department of population health and co-director of the Injury Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Steven Sumner of the Medical Center at Duke University, compare the occupational hazards energy workers are exposed to in fossil fuel with that of renewable energy production.
Three renewable energy sources with potential for growth – solar, wind and biomass – Sony NP-BG1, Canon BP-511, Kodak KLIC-5001 – were included in the study.
“Focusing on the entire lifecycle is important when estimating occupational hazard, including construction and maintenance of all infrastructure needed,” Layde said a HP laptop battery Laptop battery manufacturers.
Wind and solar energy compared favorably with fossil fuels in every aspect from production to distribution, but the researchers note that better data is needed to make more precise comparisons. Renewables are safer than fossil fuels because mining isn’t involved.
Mining is the second-most dangerous industry in the U.S., resulting in 27.5 deaths per 100,000 workers when repairing Dell Inspiron 6000 Battery,Dell inspiron 9400 battery D5318, compared with an average of 3.4 deaths for all industries.
