Answer 2

Answer: C

Production of electricity from nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming

Explanation: Nuclear energy is considered as non-renewable energy source. Although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, the material used in nuclear power plants is not.

Nuclear power emits more greenhouse gases per kilowatt hour than all renewables, including biomass, hydroelectric, solar and wind. Reactors produce significantly less carbon dioxide than all fossil fuels. We can therefore conclude that Production of electricity from nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
