As per the law of conservation of energy, no energy is created or destroyed. Therefore, we can conclude that the remaining 92% of energy released in electricity generation from steam power plants is converted to other, non-utilizable forms of energy. Such forms include sound energy or thermal energy between the moving parts of the plant.

The explanation for the following answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles(150 million kilometers) away from the earth.It is so far away that light from the Sun,travelling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth.Earth does not travel around the Sun in a perfect circle.Instead its orbit is elliptical,like a stretched circle,with the sun just off the center of the orbit.

Whenever possible, these types of power plants should be built because they generate virtually no pollution. (2 points)
geniusboy [140]

But wind farms make noise, wind and solar are both hazardous to birds, and there's no known means of disposing of nuclear plant waste that's completely safe.
