• Biomass

Fuel with the GREATEST net-energy potential

• petroleum

• nuclear energy

• natural gas

• coal

• biomass

Renewable energy sources can best be defined as

• resources that will regenerate in a million or more years

• resources that will regenerate in a generation or less

• resources that will regenerate in 10-20 million years

• resources that do not have the ability to regenerate

In a thermal power plant, coal, oil, natural gas or uranium are used to heat what?

• water

• oil

• air

• the turbine

The main reason(s) fossil fuels are the primary source of energy in the developed world is

• infrastructure is in place that already uses this and it would be costly to change

• fossil fuels produce high energy quickly

• fossil fuels are readily available

• all of these are reasons

• crop leftovers (the part of the plant that isn't consumed)
• manure and/or trash
• petroleum

Which type of fuel produces the most sulfur?
