greenhouse gases?
A. solar power, because it has no energy-related
carbon dioxide emissions
B. gasoline, because it has the largest percentage
of both consumption and emissions
C. natural gas, because the percentage of energy
consumption is about the same as the
percentage of emissions
D. coal, because it contributes a smaller
percentage to energy-related carbon dioxide
emissions than other sources
