Question textQuestions 15-18. What is the author’s main point in each of these paragraphs? Choose from the list (a - g) below. There are 3 extra options.a. Low-carbon technologies used to generate electricity are becoming more popular than traditional energy sources.b. Despite their ‘green energy’ image, some renewables may have hidden environmental costs, making them less viable.c. By 2050, around 50% of solar panel installations will be on rooftops, freeing up land for other uses.d. Fossil fuels burden the environment heavily, while renewables generally have lower pollution impacts.e. Despite requiring more space, one renewable type compares favourably to fossil fuel production.f. Site selection and operational planning are essential to maximise power generation and minimize negative interactions with wildlife, such as birds.g. While this energy form can be polluting, the effects can be mitigated somewhat by carbon capture and storage.15.Paragraph 1 Answer 1 Question 9[select: , a.
