PASSAGE
Passage A:
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power offer significant environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. However, these technologies face challenges including intermittent energy production, high initial installation costs, and the need for backup power systems during periods of low sun or wind availability.
Passage B:
Fossil fuels remain the dominant global energy source due to their reliability, established infrastructure, and relatively low extraction costs. While fossil fuels provide consistent energy output and support existing power grids, they contribute significantly to climate change through carbon dioxide emissions and cause environmental damage through extraction processes like mining and drilling.
How do renewable energy sources and fossil fuels differ in terms of environmental impact?
