Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. An example from India involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. This reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. When evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. What factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?

Answer:

D) education of local residents to maintain equipment

Step-by-step explanation:

education of local residents to maintain equipment The time and expense needed to train local residents in servicing the digesters used to convert into clean fuel would be offset by the cost of hiring outside technicians and the benefit of reducing local unemployment, so it isn't likely to have a significant impact on evaluating the proposal. The other factors are significant costs or benefits so it is critical to take them into account.
