What are external costs?🔎
(External effects, external costs... I've heard of it a lot... 🤔 Let's take this opportunity to clearly point it out!💡)

+Russia-Ukraine war caused international oil prices to rise, and as a result, coal fuel prices also rose.💸
As the cost of coal fuel rises, Korea, which has a lot of coal power generation, leads to a rise in electricity rates. In fact, KEPCO is suffering from a deficit due to rising coal fuel prices!
For a clean, safe and stable energy supply, it is urgent to switch to renewable energy!
