Questions and Answers

Why is solar energy considered the most convenient renewable energy resource?

  • Because it is the most abundant energy resource on Earth
  • Because it does not release greenhouse gases when burned
  • Due to its ability to generate electricity in all weather conditions
  • Due to the rise of innovation in solar panels and solar charge controllers (correct)
  • What is a key characteristic of non-renewable resources like petroleum and coal?

  • They can naturally replenish themselves over time
  • They have a smaller carbon footprint compared to renewable resources
  • They are primarily used for generating wind energy
  • They cannot be immediately replaced upon depletion (correct)
  • What contributes to the larger carbon footprint of non-renewable resources like natural gas and coal?

  • The efficient conversion into electricity without emissions
  • Their ability to replenish naturally over time
  • The carbon content of most fossil fuels when burned (correct)
  • The lack of greenhouse gas emissions during their combustion
  • What technology has seen a rise in innovation making solar energy more convenient?
