How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal? a. hydroelectric energy is more commonly used than coal. b. hydroelectric energy is associated with less waste production than coal. c. hydroelectric energy has a larger environmental impact than coal use. d. hydroelectric energy requires more land space than coal use.

The correct option is B.

Hydro electricity refers to the electricity that is derived from water. It is the largest form of the source of energy used today and its uses and applications are greater than that of coals. In both homes and industries, hydro electricity is used to power many gadgets and appliances. The production of hydro electricity is also renewable, sustainable and clean because it is fueled by water. Hydro electricity is a cleans source of electricity and it does not produce pollution like powers derived from fossils fuels such as coal.

The answer is B. Hydroelectric energy is associated with less waste production than coal.

Explanation:

Hydroelectric is electricity generated by taking advantage of the energy of moving water. This type of electrical energy is produced in generating plants known as hydroelectric power plants, in which, the force exerted by a flow of water that falls on the propellers of a turbine, rotates a generator that is coupled to it, thus producing electricity. The generation of hydroelectric power has significant benefits compared to the burning of fossil fuels, since it allows to meet the demand for energy without producing atmospheric emissions, ash or CO2 emissions.
