Which of the following best describes the long term impact of using a non renewable energy source?

A- burning biomass to produce energy releases greenhouse gases

B- petroleum absorbs carbon dioxide and pollutes water supplies

C- nuclear power produces radiation that would be harmful if leaked

D- geothermal energy can disrupt the water table and game water supplies

Respuesta :

The correct option is A.
Non renewable energy sources are those sources of energy which will eventually be exhausted, examples are fossils fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. When these fossils fuels are burned, they produce carbon dioxide which accumulate in the atmosphere and which eventually give rise to greenhouses gases, which are a set of gas which destroy the ozone layer and cause global warming.
