(1) the nations energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) these fuels are nonrenewable resources, and they cause pollution. (3) we cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) thus, we must find other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to solving our energy crisis.

(6) currently, about 1 percent of energy in the united states is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the potential to become a more widely used energy source. (7) through different technologies, such as solar cells, scientists have learned to use the suns radiation to create electricity. (8) solar energy is both inexhaustible and clean. (9) the major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10) developing a cost - effective way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving our energy crisis.

what is an alternative piece of evidence that could be included to support the idea that solar energy could play a part in solving the energy crisis?

- solar energy is not a suitable solution for all climates due to shorter hours of daylight.
- solar power requires a large area for the solar panels, which may be a problem in urban areas.
- solar energy already serves an important role in providing electricity to remote areas.
- with continued support, solar energy will clearly become the energy of the future.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To support that solar energy can solve the energy crisis, we need evidence showing its practical use. The first two options highlight limitations (unsuitable for all climates, space issues in urban areas), so they don't support. The fourth is a prediction, not current evidence. The third option ("Solar energy already serves an important role in providing electricity to remote areas") shows solar energy is already effectively used in a real - world context, which supports its potential to help solve the energy crisis.
# Answer:
C. Solar energy already serves an important role in providing electricity to remote areas.
