Question

question 1 - 4
a city is voting on whether to convert its current energy production method from fossil fuels to wind energy. which of the following best describes the environmental cost of using a renewable resource?
○ habitat destruction from clearing of land for construction
○ increase in greenhouse emissions causing climate change
○ high - energy output causing minimal impact on biodiversity
○ development and production of energy causing a high financial burden for the community

Explanation:

Renewable energy like wind energy may require land - clearing for construction of wind farms, which can lead to habitat destruction. Wind energy has lower greenhouse emissions compared to fossil fuels. High - energy output with minimal biodiversity impact is a positive, not a cost. Financial burden is an economic, not environmental cost.

Answer:

habitat destruction from clearing of land for construction
