Explain why renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development, using at least two reasons and linking them with appropriate connective words.
Answer Options
A.
Renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development because they generate large amounts of waste, thereby stimulating recycling industries, and because they rely on rare earth minerals, ensuring strategic resource control; consequently, they help meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
B.
Renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development because they lower electricity prices, thereby increasing consumer spending, and because they require minimal initial investment, ensuring rapid deployment; consequently, they help meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
C.
Renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development because they increase the frequency of power outages, thereby encouraging energy conservation, and because they depend on seasonal weather patterns, guaranteeing predictable energy supply; consequently, they help meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
Correct Answer
D.
Renewable energy sources are essential for sustainable development because they reduce greenhouse‑gas emissions, thereby mitigating climate change, and because they provide a virtually inexhaustible supply of power, ensuring long‑term energy security; consequently, they help meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
