Many scientists believe it would be possible to maintain a permanent human presence on Mars or the Moon. On the other hand, conditions on Venus are so extreme and inhospitable that maintaining a human presence there would be impossible.
First, atmospheric pressure at Venus’ surface is at least 90 times greater than the pressure at Earth’s surface. This means that a force of 100 kilograms is pressing down on every square centimeter of surface. All spacecraft that have landed on Venus have been crushed by this extreme pressure within an hour of landing. Almost anything humans might land on Venus would be crushed as well.
Second, as far as we know, there are no reservoirs of water on Venus’ surface, and the planet’s atmosphere, made up mostly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid, contains hardly any oxygen or water vapor. Water and oxygen would therefore probably have to be supplied to Venus from Earth. The idea of ensuring a regular supply of water and oxygen from Earth is impractical in the extreme and would probably defeat the purpose of establishing a permanent station on Venus.
Third, very little sunlight reaches the planet’s surface. About 60 percent of the sunlight that hits Venus is reflected back into space by the thick clouds that fill the atmosphere, which means that only 40 percent of the sunlight can get through the clouds. Below these clouds is a dense layer of carbon dioxide, which blocks even more light, so very little light reaches the surface. The lack of light would prevent the use of solar power cells, so humans could not get electricity to power their machines and equipment.
The reading passage and lecture have conflicting opinions about wether or not new arrangement and policies are essential for handling and storing coal ash. The article strongly postulates that experienced people who works in power companies argued that new rules and policies are unnecessary and could lead to bad consequences. On the other hand, the listening adamantly delinates that new strict rules and polices have to declared by the government for handling and storing coal ash.
First and foremost, according to the author of the exerpt, power companies are using a special material liner in order protect the underground water from being exposed to coal ash. Also, these companies persist that regulation exists. Nonetheless, the lecture offsets these points by declaring that regulations such as, using liner is not an effective way to protect the environment from coal ash. furthermore, this material has to be used when new pond is built in order to prevent the oil from the leaking to the soil and pollute the underground water.
The professor in lecture further points out that these new arrangement for handling and storing coal for sure, will not discourage companies from storing coal ash. For instance, a company called "Mercury" is subjected to strict rules for 50 years and still recycling coal ash. These claims refute the writer implication of how these strict rules will effect individuals and companies from recycling coal ash.
The article lastly asserts that strict regulation would rise the costs for power company, thereby increasing the electricity bill ten times. The speaker in the lecture counters these points by insisting that establishing the new regulation will cost the government 50 billion , but it's worthwhile. However, the electricity bill will not increase that much only 1%.
