Question

Around half of the electricity used in the United States is powered by burning coal. The United States is a developed country with a high level of carbon emissions. Select TWO realistic actions that could help to provide energy for the United States and also help to lower carbon emissions.
A
Create more fossil fuels.

B
Build additional power plants.

C
Reduce the demand for energy.

D
Use renewable sources of energy.

E
Make products that are more efficient.

F
Develop technology to better harvest fossil fuels.

Answer 1

The two options would be to reduce the demand for energy and or use renewable sources of energy. Options C and D are correct.

How to reduce carbon emission

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil-derived fuels generates a large amount of emissions.

In order to cut down on the emission, the demand for energy needs to be lowered by all means. In addition, instead of using fossil fuels, renewable sources of energy can be used.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, and water vapor are produced largely as by-products of burning fossil fuels. These gases form a layer in the atmosphere and trap reflected solar radiation.

By doing so, the increase the average annual temperature of the planet (global warming). The warming of the planet has several negative effects on the climate and the ecosystems as a whole.

Renewable sources of energy, on the other hand, have very little to no greenhouse gas emissions.
