Question 6 • {HS} Earth and Space Science Sem. 1

Which statement describes one way that wind energy is different from energy from fossil fuels?

Answer
A
Wind energy reliability can be inconsistent.
B
Wind energy produces larger quantities of energy.
C
Wind energy can be reproduced quickly.
D
Wind energy produces more pollution.

Explanation

Wind turbines generate electricity only when the wind is blowing strongly enough, so their output can be inconsistent. Fossil fuels can generally be burned whenever energy is needed, making their supply more controllable. Wind energy does not produce more pollution than fossil fuels during electricity generation.
