Here's for one of them:

Type: Nuclear

Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.

Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)

Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)

Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.

Which category of drugs does not increase your risk of contracting HIV through infected needles?
Archy [21]

The correct answer is option B) Inhalants


Inhalants are a category of drugs that does not increase your risk of contracting HIV through infecting needles.


However, the use of other categories such as stimulants and narcotics can have a considerably higher chance of contracting HIV.



The HIV virus is not a contagious virus like flue. Instead, it needs physical contact to actually spread.


This does not mean simple touching of hands but more consistent practices such as sexual intercourse or the contact of an infected blood with another person.


Someone who injects drugs such as cocaine and heroine and shares needles with other drug addicts can have a much higher chance of contracting HIV.

soldi70 [24.7K]
Germany, Italy, and Japan had settled an alliance were they would not get into each other's way when expanding territory. The main reason why the axis powers were able to gain control of a large part of Europe was due to the League of Nations feeding Germany trying to keep peace and stop them without causing a war, sadly failing while in the process.
