If the 14C level of fossils is 73% compared to living organisms. It will be 2602 years.

<h3>What is radiocarbon dating? </h3>

This method is used to estimate the relative age of carbon-based materials. This is done usually for fossils which originate from living organisms.

This age is estimated by estimating the percentage of carbon-14 isotopes in the fossil. This is done by comparing this percentage to a reference standard used internationally. This method is of tremendous use in palaeontology. It has also found its use in hydrology, oceanography, geology etc.

Fossil age is determined by

At = (Ao) x (1 - 0.5)^(t/h)

Here, At/Ao = 0.73

So, 0.73 = 0.5^(t/5730)

Therefore, t = 2602 years

1) Variability: This is the biggest and most vexing.
Power plants that run on fuel (along with some hydro and geothermal plants) can be ramped up and down on command. They are, in the jargon, "dispatchable." But VRE plants produce power only when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. Grid operators don't control VRE, they accommodate it, which requires some agility.

2) Uncertainty: The output of VRE plants cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy in day-ahead and day-of forecasts, so grid operators have to keep excess reserve running just in case.

3) Location-specificity: Sun and wind are stronger (and thus more economical) in some places than in others — and not always in places that have the necessary transmission infrastructure to get the power to where it's needed.

4) Nonsynchronous generation: Conventional generators provide voltage support and frequency control to the grid. VRE generators can too, potentially, but it's an additional capital investment.

5) Low capacity factor: VRE plants only run when sun or wind cooperates.
