Which type of fuel produces the most sulfur?

• wind

• coal

• biomass

• nuclear fission

a downside to relying on biomass as a primary fuel source for a nation is that

• it can cause soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat loss

• it requires little land use

• it produces no pollution

• it produces more pollution than coal
