ans$er to each of the questions.
In this era of increased global $arming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies5 $e must begin to put a greater
priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. <ortunately5 there are a number of readily available5
rene$able resources that are both cost, effective and earth / friendly. *$o such resources are solar po$er and
geothermal po$er.
+olar energy5 $hich reaches the earth through sunlight5 is so abundant that it could meet the needs of $orld$ide
energy consumption G5DDD times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells
that convert sunlight to electricity. In the H+ alone5 more than 7DD5 DDD homes are equipped $ith solar electric
systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the $orld5 including many
developing countries5 the use of solar system is gro$ing steadily.
Another alternative energy source5 $hich is abundant in specific geographical areas5 is geothermal po$er5
$hich creates energy by tapping heat from belo$ the surface of the earth. )ot $ater and steam that are trapped
in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator5 $hich produces electricity.
Ieothermal energy is =D5DDD times more abundant than the entire !no$n supply of fossil fuel resources and as
$ith solar po$er5 the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of
effective geothermal use in Iceland5 a region of high geothermal activity $here there are over >D percent of
private homes5 are heated by geothermal po$er.
+olar and geothermal energy are &ust t$o of promising rene$able alternatives to conventional energy sources.
*he time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.

A. *he benefits of solar and $ind po$er over conventional energy sources.
B. *$o types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.

A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global $arming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available $orld$ide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted5 and they cause environmental damage.
Question !': 0hich of the follo$ing $ords could best replace the $ord -harnessing.3

production3
A. *hey both require the use of a generator. B. *hey both use heat from the earths surface.
C. *hey both require fairly simple technology. D. *hey are both conventional and costly.
Question "1: 0here is the best place in the passage to insert the follo$ing sentence3
