Question

which statement describes a disadvantage of using natural gas as an energy source?
it is expensive to use.
it is hard to stop using.
it is a renewable resource.
it is scarce in some parts of the world.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Natural gas is a non - renewable fossil fuel. It is formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient organisms. Since it is non - renewable, its availability is limited. Some regions may have less natural gas reserves compared to others.

  • Natural gas is relatively inexpensive compared to some other energy sources like certain types of electricity generation from rare or high - cost fuels.
  • It is not "hard to stop using" in the sense that as renewable energy sources become more prevalent and infrastructure is developed, the use of natural gas can be phased out.
  • Natural gas is a non - renewable resource, not a renewable one.

Answer:

It is scarce in some parts of the world.
