Answer to Question 1

In order to survive in a competitive industry, a firm must operate at minimum average cost in the long run. It is unlikely that the lowest cost technology is a low-polluting technology. Typically, it costs more to produce using a low-polluting technology. Hence, the firm that chooses the low-polluting technology will incur costs above minimum average cost, and so will not survive in a competitive industry in the long run.
