A

feedstock

127
Q

What are some major disadvantages of biomass?

A

air pollution, deforestation/soil degradation, low overall conversion efficiency, and total U.S. corn crop would only yield 20% of our ethanol/gasoline need.

128
Q

Q

Energy storage is a major obstacle to the widespread use of renewable energy. Why?

A

Less “portable” than oil or gas; high energy usage periods vary daily and seasonally–need to store electricity for use during those times; limited options for electric storage (batteries, fuel cells)

Q

Batteries are _____ with _____ energy storage. They also produce hazardous _____ and chemicals.

A

bulky; low; waste

131
Q

What is the simplest and cheapest way of stretching our energy resources?
