Question 21 • DRHS GA-GSE Environmental Science

Which statement best explains why electricity should be conserved?

Answer
A
Fossil fuels generate electricity and are limited in supply.
B
Fossil fuels generate electricity and are expensive.
C
Power plants use a lot of resources and never produce a lot of electricity.
D
Power plants can use only one type of resource to produce electricity.

Explanation

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are used to generate much of the world's electricity, and they take millions of years to form. Because supplies are limited, conserving electricity can reduce how quickly these fuels are used. Being expensive, as in choice B, may also be a concern, but limited supply is the strongest reason given.
