  • They are both renewable sources of energy, that is, they can be used over and over and the power keeps coming.
  • Neither emits any greenhouse gases or any other pollution, as fossil fuels do, so they contribute nothing to global warming.
  • They are both expensive to establish at the moment but are slowly becoming cheaper (or solar panels certainly are), but they are the future of energy generation.

Explain the relationship between energy use and level of economic development?

This is an extremely important topic. The more developed a country is, the more energy they use. The problem is that energy can currently only be realistically be made by fossil fuels or by nuclear power. Some energy can be made hydroelectric, but this is limited. Alternative energies can be created, but they produce less energy then the cost to create so do not provide any additional power. Some people believe that the output of fossil fuel plants creates warming of our planet. If found to br true, this would be bad.


What are the similarities between Paleobotany and a Paleontology?

Paleobotany is the study of pre-historic plants on the basis of fossil evidence while Paleontology is the study of life in prehistoric times by using fossil evidence. The only similarity is that they both gain their evidences from fossils.


How electricity is produced in Saint Lucia?

In Saint Lucia, electricity is primarily produced from a mix of renewable and conventional sources. The island utilizes hydroelectric power from its rivers and water systems, along with solar energy from photovoltaic installations. Additionally, diesel generators contribute to the electricity supply, especially during peak demand periods. The government is actively promoting renewable energy initiatives to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and enhance sustainability.


Similarities between coal and oil?

None, however there are many dissimilarities. Coal is a fossil fuel. Burning it consumes a limited resource and generates CO2 which contributes to global warming. Wind generation, like solar power and hydro-electric generation do not involve consumption of minerals. Also, they are non-polluting forms of energy. The only connection between the two that I can draw, are that, as coal prices increase, there are more investments in wind power.
