The Social Costs of Resource Use

Question 2 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Why might it be advantageous to use nonrenewable resources over renewable resources?

Answer
A
The use of nonrenewable resources can be cheaper and more efficient than the use of renewable resources.
B
Nonrenewable resource use has a lower impact on the environment than renewable resource use.
C
Nonrenewable resources are always more readily available than renewable resources.
D
All of the above

Explanation

Nonrenewable resources can be advantageous because they may cost less to use and provide energy or materials efficiently. That does not mean they always have a lower environmental impact or are always more readily available than renewable resources, so “All of the above” is not correct. The best answer is “The use of nonrenewable resources can be cheaper and more efficient than the use of renewable resources.”
