Explain the concept of wind power and its benefits as an energy source.

• Wind power is the use of water flow through turbines to generate electricity.

• Wind power is the use of solar energy to produce electricity.

• Wind power is the use of nuclear energy to generate power.

• Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical power to turn electric generators. Its benefits include being a clean and renewable energy source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and having low operating costs.

Discuss the impact of energy consumption on global climate change.

• Energy consumption from the burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.

• Global climate change is caused by natural processes, not energy consumption

• Energy consumption actually helps to reverse global climate change

• Energy consumption has no impact on global climate change

Explain the concept of energy conservation and its importance in reducing environmental impact.

• Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. It is important in reducing environmental impact as it helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing air and water pollution, and preserving natural resources.

• Energy conservation is the effort made to increase the consumption of energy by using more of an energy service. It is important in reducing environmental impact as it helps in increasing greenhouse gas emissions, maximizing air and water pollution, and depleting natural resources.

• Energy conservation is the effort made to conserve water by using more energy services. It is important in reducing environmental impact as it helps in increasing greenhouse gas emissions, maximizing air and water pollution, and depleting natural resources.

• Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. It is not important in reducing environmental impact as it has no effect on greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and natural resources.
