Question

Which of the following is not used as strategy for sustainable development ?

• A. Use of Bio-gas
• B. Use of Solar power
• C. Use of Thermal power
• D. Use of Wind power

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Use of Thermal power

• Thermal power typically refers to the generation of electricity by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. This process is the opposite of sustainable development for several reasons:

• Non-Renewable: Fossil fuels take millions of years to form. Once we burn them, they are gone forever.

• High Pollution: Thermal power plants release massive amounts of CO2 (carbon dioxide), SO2 (sulfur dioxide), and particulate matter, which are primary drivers of global warming and air pollution.

• Resource Depletion: It relies on constant mining and extraction, which destroys local ecosystems and biodiversity.
