1. Why isn't solar energy usually the only power source for a region?

2. Wind farms can also be used for which other purposes?

3. Using hydro energy often requires that people build what?

4. What type of dangerous waste is produced by nuclear power plants

5. What is biomass?

6. What is carbon capture and storage?

7. What is energy reduction?

8. List at least two ways in which people can conserve energy.

9. How do smart grids use timing to determine electricity prices?

Respuesta :

1. Every region doesnt get the same amount of sunlight as the rest due to whether or location an example would be that a region with alot of rain could have clouds that wouldnt let the solar panels to absorb as much sunlight as a more dry and sunny place 
2 wind farms can be used to store energy for a power outage and a way to lower the cost of electricity to a farmer 
3 using hydro energy requires people to build a dam that pours the water over a mill that rotates and stores energy from it 
4 a type of waste created by nuclear power plants would be daily uses that have radiation such as plastic containers ,gloves , disposable overalls, boots or just plain radioactive waste.
5 would be the total mass of organisms in a given area or volume 
6 is a process to further limit carbon dioxide emissions from burning coal
7 is basically the means to tap into energy savings that over time become an asset 
8 turning down the water heater thermostat and turning off lights when not in use can save energy 
9 smart grids use timing grid to determine how long you use electricity for and for how much you used

Answer:

Check the explanatiom

Explanation:

1. Because not every region has solar energy all of the time

2. They can be used additionally for farming and ranching purposes while simultaneously serving wind generation. This is because wind farms take a small portion of the ranch or land

3. Using hydro energy often requires that people build a dam with running water. An hydraulic turbine is then installed to convert the energy in the stream of fluid into mechanical energy which is used to generate power

4. The kind  of nuclear waste that is most dangerous is high-level nuclear waste (HLW). HLW is the product of 'burning' uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor.

5. Biomass refers to organic matter (plant or animal material) used as fuel and for energy production/generation. Such organic matter includes but is not restricted to grown plants, human sewage and waste

6. Carbon capture and storage refes to the technology that is employed to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions which are generated from fossil fuels used in power generation. It captures up to 90% of the produced CO2 emissions and prevents it from entering the atmosphere

7. Energy reduction refers to man's means and method of conserving energy consumption or by relying on energy services less often. This can be accoplishe in 2 ways: either by optimizing our energy usage or by reducing our energy usage

8. Ways we can conserve energy include:

i When lights are not in use, they should be turned off

ii Shutting down our computers; computers account for one of the greatest energy usages in offices

9. A smart grid is a holistic approach that employs a broad spectrum of information technology resources. It allows existing and new gridlines to decrease wastage of electricity and energy costs; it does so by using smart meters, to access variable and distributed energy sources subject to the demand and availability. Smart meters enable consumers of electricity to utilize energy based on price signals given as rates fluctuate
