erginhoca.com – YDS Reading Vocabulary Test 6: Renewable Energy
Generating electricity from renewable energy
rather than fossil fuels offers significant public
health benefits. The air and water pollution
emitted by coal and natural gas plants is linked to
breathing problems, neurological damage, heart
attacks, and cancer. Replacing fossil fuels with
renewable energy has been found to reduce
premature mortality and lost workdays, and it
reduces overall healthcare costs. Wind, solar, and
hydroelectric systems generate electricity with no
associated air pollution emissions. While
geothermal and biomass energy systems emit
some air pollutants, total air emissions are
generally much lower than those of coal- and
natural gas-fired power plants. In addition, wind
and solar energy require essentially no water to
operate and thus do not pollute water resources
or strain supply by competing with agriculture,
drinking water systems, or other important water
needs. In contrast, fossil fuels can have a
significant impact on water resources. For
example, both coal mining and natural gas drilling
can pollute sources of drinking water. Natural gas
extraction by hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
requires large amounts of water and all thermal
power plants, including those powered by coal,
gas, and oil, withdraw and consume water for
cooling.
