Energy Resources Questions
The impact of energy resources on greenhouse gas emissions varies depending on the type of energy resource used. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. When these fuels are burned for energy, they release carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. On the other hand, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power have minimal or no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Therefore, transitioning to renewable energy can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
