I need help guys :)The table below displays advantages and disadvantages of the major energy resources used by industrial society. Energy
Resource Some Advantages Some Disadvantages
Fossil Fuels
can be used almost anywhere
low prices
reliable technology
predictable power output
very polluting to air, water, and land
supplies are abundant but will eventually be exhausted
Wind Energy
renewable
reliable technology
low environmental impacts
limited to windy regions
relatively low power production
depends on the frequency of winds
Solar Energy
few negative environmental impacts
renewable
sunlight is very abundant
very expensive to build, install, and replace
cost-effective technologies are still in development
existing technologies are limited to sunny regions
depends on the frequency of direct sunlight
Nuclear
Energy
can be used almost anywhere
low long-term prices
very low impact on the atmosphere
predictable power output
very high initial costs
long-term environmental impacts may be very significant
uranium supplies will eventually run out
Geothermal
Energy
competitive prices
renewable
reliable technology
low environmental impacts
limited to very few locations
power output can fluctuate

Using the information in the table, it can be inferred that most energy used by industrial societies is directly derived from
because this resource is
