One that doesn't work cheaply or well enough to be a prime energy source.

No, that's not the answer your teacher is looking for... this is approved "green" answer what they want from you:

Alternative energy sources are those which are renewable, not based on the consumption of a fixed resource like coal, uranium, or petroleum.

Alternatives are clean and safe, with low environmental impact, unlike dirty coal and dangerous nuclear power.

But don't tell your teacher that wind turbines kill birds and bats by the ton, that tidal power destroys fish, that geothermal power creates earthquakes, or that most solar panels have dangerous heavy metals in them.

That's not the indoctrination they are after.

What question about an energy resource can best be tested using a scientific investigation?

"How does the use of [specific energy resource] impact air quality in a particular region?" This question can be tested through monitoring air quality measurements before and after the introduction of the energy resource, and comparing the data to draw conclusions about its environmental effects.


Which is the best energy resource?

Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.Probably we (mankind) will have to use a variety of energy sources, not just "one best" energy source.


Why is Solar energy-the best alternative source of energy?

This is not necessarily true. In reality there is no straight answer to which is best. Each have advantages and disadvantages. Just because solar power is used more domestically does not mean it is the most effective and certainly does not mean it produces a lot of energy. Most solar panels are, at best, 40% efficiency and large installations only generate enough power because there is a lot of panels / reflectors and they collectively generate power. In general solar panels are the cheapest alternative, at least for a house, with 2.2KW systems costing $18,000 approximately, with even cheaper smaller systems out there. But lets be honest, the only reason they are seen more on the roofs of houses is because it would be impractical to put a conventional power plant there. Most people do not have enough room for anything else. So solar energy is not actually the undisputed best alternative source of energy. Its all a matter of perspective.


Which of th following is the best description of an electrical energy type source?

Machinery and equipment that relate to or are poerated by electricty, two examples and circuit breakers


What best description of the first law of thernodynamics?

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. It is a fundamental principle in physics that governs the conservation of energy within a closed system.

What is the best alternative energy?

There are many alternative energy sources, and all have downsides. Nuclear produces huge amounts of waste. Solar and wind are inconsistent and expensive to store. Hydroelectric damages habitats with the ponds it creates, and geothermal can only produce a limited amount of energy in specific conditions. Until we put the money to improve alternative energy, the best way to help the environment is conservation.
