The correct answer is D) The use of geothermal and nuclear power is on the rise.

The statement that is FALSE is "The use of geothermal and nuclear power is on the rise."

The statements that are correct are the following: the demand for oil has increased, but oil production has declined since 1972, Texas is last in the country for the production of wind-powered electricity. and between 2005 and 2008, the amount of electricity produced by wind power has tripled.

The leaders of the world need to put special attention to the way their countries are producing energy. Fossil fuel has created many problems and the consequences can be seen in global warming and climate change. That is why the Kyoto Protocol in Japan, gathered most of the industrialized nations to reduce pollutants. Unfortunately, the United States was the only country that did not sign the agreement.
