65 B2+ | 8. Klasse | READING | Science and technology to wind power, and this is followed by (5) . In terms of capacity, nuclear power plants are able to produce maximum power over 93% of the time on an annual basis. Natural gas is considered the cleanest burning and most reliable fossil fuel, but (6) available. There is an alternative, however, called renewable natural gas (RNG), which also goes by the name of biomethane, and is produced from cattle, landfill waste, and other organic materials through anaerobic digestion. While it’s not a fossil fuel, RNG is completely identical to conventional natural gas in chemical make-up, allowing them to use the same distribution system. Biomethane can be used for electricity generation, water heating, heating buildings, cooking and fuelling vehicles. Wind energy, which uses turbines to harness its power from the wind, is one of the cleanest and most sustainable forms of electricity generation. It’s able to produce energy (7) . Furthermore, the land and animal impact of wind turbines is minimal. A it still isn’t the most sanitary energy resource B the distinction between alternative energy sources and renewable energy sources C the exact benefits to the consumer of using these D current level of dependence on such fuels E which has resulted in a sharp rise in domestic electricity consumption F without generating any pollutants or global warming emissions G these two natural resources as opposed to coal could save as much as $23 billion H the growth of alternative energy sources I which meant that it wasn’t very practical for consumer use J hydropower, nuclear energy, and then solar energy 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 D Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
