(C) Hydro and wind energy plants are non polluting sources of energy
(D) Waste from a nuclear power plant can be easily disposed off
Answer : (a,c)
(A) Sun can be taken as an inexhaustible source of energy as the energy is produced through nuclear fusion reaction. The Sun has been radiating an enormous amount of energy at the present rate for nearly 5 billion years and will continue radiating at that rate for about 5 billion years more.
(B) There is a finite storage of fossil fuels.
(C) Hydro and wind energy plants are non-polluting sources of energy as they don’t produce pollutants.
(D) Waste from a nuclear power plant is very difficult to dispose off.
