Question

which statement describes one way that wind energy is different from energy from fossil fuels?
wind energy reliability can be inconsistent.
wind energy produces larger quantities of energy.
wind energy can be reproduced quickly.
wind energy produces more pollution.

Explanation:

• Wind energy is a renewable energy source. Its availability depends on wind conditions, which can vary. So, its reliability can be inconsistent.
• Fossil fuels are non - renewable. Once used, they take millions of years to form.
• Wind energy does not produce larger quantities of energy compared to large - scale fossil fuel - based power plants in general.
• Wind energy is not about being'reproduced' in the sense of a manufacturing process. It is harnessed when the wind blows.
• Wind energy produces little to no pollution (no greenhouse gas emissions during operation), while fossil fuels produce significant pollution.

Answer:

Wind energy reliability can be inconsistent.
