There are over one million more solar power installations

There are over one million more solar power installations than fossil fuel plants in America However fossil fuels generate the most electricity and solar power contributes the least Construction and use of electrical power plants produce carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas GHG Building new power plants that maximize power production but minimize GHG emission is a current engineering challenge One approach used in the United States is to construct power plants that use renewable energy Characteristics of electrical plants that use certain renewable or nonrenewable sources of energy are listed in Table 1 Table 1 Energy Sources and Which statement correctly answers the question of whether electrical plants that use wind power instead of fossil fuels would maximize power production and minimize GHG emissions OA No using wind power costs more than using fossil fuels B Yes using wind power costs less than using fossil fuels C No using wind power creates a higher GHG emission intensity than using fossil fuels O D Yes using wind power produces a lower GHG emission intensity than using fossil fuels Ext
