Renewable energy produces practically no greenhouse gases, compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

Hydroelectric power has very little greenhouse gas emissions associated with it. Wind and solar power tend to have low emissions. Geothermal energy also has low emissions.

Nuclear power has some greenhouse gas emissions associated with the mining and refining of uranium ore, but not a lot.

Which states of matter has the most kinetic energy to the least kinetic energy?

In general, gases have the most kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids have the least kinetic energy. This is because the particles in gases have high energy and move freely, while the particles in liquids have less freedom but more energy than solids, where the particles have the least freedom and lowest energy.


What is the correct order from most to least of US energy consumption by source?

The correct order of US energy consumption by source from most to least is petroleum, natural gas, coal, renewable energy, and nuclear energy.


Which of the following resources produces the least pollution solar energy natural gas nuclear energy petroleum?

Solar energy-but also the least power! Solar energy. All other fuel sources are responsible for pollution, which has dramatically increased in the last 35 years, see related links. Then why aren't we using more sun power and less of these other fuels. It has to do with convenience and cost. We can generate solar power only during the day, so we need an economic means to store the energy to use it whenever we need it. Solar energy seems to be a partial solution to energy needs.

Which element has the lowest ionization energy halogens metals non metals or noble gases?

Noble gases have the lowest ionization energy. This is because noble gases have full valence shells, making it difficult to remove electrons from them.

Which category of organic compound is used the least by humans as an energy source?

Nucleic acids are used the least by humans as an energy source compared to carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Nucleic acids are primarily used for genetic information and not as a direct energy source for the body.


Why lighting is not a conventional source of energy?

A conventional source of energy would be one that has been in use for quite a while - say, for a few decades at least, and on a sufficiently large scale. This is not the case with lightning.A conventional source of energy would be one that has been in use for quite a while - say, for a few decades at least, and on a sufficiently large scale.

What alternative energy source would be expected to be the least dependent upon the weather?

Nuclear energy is the alternative energy source that is least dependent upon the weather. Unlike solar or wind power, nuclear power generation is not affected by weather conditions such as sunlight or wind.


What countries produce the least greenhouse gases?

Countries that produce the least greenhouse gases typically have smaller populations and/or rely heavily on renewable energy sources. Some examples include Iceland, Sweden, and Costa Rica.
