Question

Which of the following is a benefit associated with the use of energy producing technologies excluding the burning of fossil fuels?

Answer 1

Alternative methods of producing energy are more efficient than burning fossil fuels. Fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide and other harmful gases to the environment which cause domino effects such as global warming. When the atmosphere warms, the ice melts near the poles and causes the ocean levels to rise. When the ice melts animal's ecosystems are also destroyed. Alternative energy sources can help us sustain our lives in the future. At the rate we burn fossil fuels, we will run out soon. Alternative methods are much safer for us, other animals, and the environment.

Answer 2

D) All of the above (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the question I'm answering:

Which of the following is a benefit associated with the use of energy producing technologies

A) 50% reduction in cost

B) reduced air pollution

C) reduced habitat loss

D) all of the above

E) reduced water use

I got on here hoping to find the answer myself, but I think "energy producing technologies" is referring to renewable energy, which would definitely reduce air pollution and reduce water use, and I'm sure it reduces habitat loss as well. I don't know what the "50% reduction in cost" is about or why "all of the above" isn't the bottommost option, but right now D is my best bet. I might keep looking and change my mind, who knows. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
