Question

how does nuclear energy use differ from geothermal and solar energy use? a. geothermal and solar energy both have a mining step, while nuclear energy does not. b. geothermal and solar energy both require water, while nuclear energy does not. c. geothermal and solar energy are both renewable, while nuclear energy is not. d. geothermal and solar energy both generate a significant amount of waste, while nuclear energy does not. please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat and solar energy from the sun, both are renewable. Nuclear energy from uranium is non - renewable. Geothermal and solar don't have a mining step related to their energy source as in nuclear (uranium mining). All three can use water in power generation processes and nuclear energy generates radioactive waste.

Answer:

C. Geothermal and solar energy are both renewable, while nuclear energy is not.
