Edison in 1879 created ademand for cheap, readily available fuel with which to generate large amounts of electricpower. Coal seem to fit the bill and it fueled the earliest power stations (which were set up atthe end of the nineteenth century by Edison himself). As more power plants were constructedthroughout the country, the reliance on coal increased. Since the first World War, coal-firedpower plants have accounted for about half of the electric produced in the United States eachyear. In 1986 such plants had combined generating capacity of 289,000 megawatts andconsumed 83 percent of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the country that year.Given the uncertainty of the future growth of nuclear power and in the supply of oil andnatural gas, coal-fired power plants could well provide up to 70 percent of the electric powerin the United Stats by the end of the century. Yet, inspite of the fact that coal has long been source of electricity and may remainone for many years (coal represents about 80 percent of the United States fossil-fuelreserves), it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants. Coalcontain less energy per unit of weight than natural gas or oil; it is difficult to transport, and itis associated with host of environmental issues, among them acid rain. Since the late 1960’sproblems of emission control and waste disposal have sharply reduced the appeal of coal-fired power plants. The cost of ameliorating these environmental problems, along with therising cost of building facility as large and complex as coal-fired power plant, has alsomade such plants less attractive from purely economic perspective. Change in the technological base of coal-fired power plants could restore theirattractiveness, however. Whereas some of these changes are evoluntary and are intendedmainly to increase the productivity of existing plants, completely new technologies forburning coal cleanly are also being developed.Question 33: The phrase fit the bill in paragraph can be replaced by :A. be used B. be suitable C. be paid D. be discoveredQuestion 34: In the author’s opinion, the important of coal-generated electricity couldincrease in the future for which of the following reasons ?Trang http://dethithpt.com Website chuyên thi th file word có gi iề ảA.
