Which of the following statements is correct?

Nonrenewable resources generally have a higher impact on the environmental than renewable resources.

Nonrenewable energy sources are always a better choice than renewable energy sources.

Nonrenewable resources generally have a lower impact on the environment than renewable resources.

Nonrenewable energy sources are never a better choice when a renewable energy source could be used.

Using any type of energy source can negatively impact the environment. Fossil fuels have the greatest and most damaging impact on the environment, but renewable energy sources can still cause a significant amount of damage-as well as cause unintended future consequences. For example, habitat loss, carbon dioxide emissions, and land destruction are just a few of the negative impacts that arise from using renewable energy sources.

Renewable energies such as wind, solar, and geothermal carry the potential for environmental damage. Wind energy is a relatively clean method for producing electricity because it does not produce harmful emissions. However, this energy source requires a large amount of land. Wind turbines have been known to harm birds and bats. Solar energy also contributes to habitat loss, and making solar panels produces harmful chemicals. Geothermal energy can harm water quality. It can even cause the surface of the land to sink.

The anwser should be B. Nonrenewable resources generally have a higher impact on the environmental than renewable resources.
