Question

question 16
which of the following statements about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources is true?
much of the energy used to power day - to - day activities is in the form of chemical energy.
nonrenewable energy can be replenished in a relatively short amount of time.
coal produces 39% of the country’s heating and transportation fuel.
in the united states, about 20% of energy comes from renewable energy.

Explanation:

• Chemical energy is commonly used in daily - life activities like burning of fuels for cooking, running vehicles etc. Non - renewable energy sources like fossil fuels take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished quickly. Coal is mainly used for electricity generation rather than a major source for heating and transportation fuel in most countries. In the US, the percentage of energy from renewable sources can vary over time but around 20% is a reasonable approximation.

Answer:

D. In the United States, about 20% of energy comes from renewable energy.
