coal
oil
nuclear
lunar
Lunar energy is nearly non existent. Some energy can be harvested from photovoltaic cells at night from moonlight, but this is hardly any, especially when compared to the other options that are extremely prominent in the US. If you think oil is not used, think about people that heat their homes with heating oil (a crude form of diesel).

True
False
states that the energy policy act allows for the building of another nuclear reactor to make both electricity and hydrogen.
4. Many communities are allowing homes to install wind generators and solar energy panel systems. (1 point)
True
False
True, in fact you can often get a tax break for installation of some systems.
5. Because of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the addition of more electrical transmission lines were discouraged throughout the nation. (1 point)
True
False
False, it simply allowed for the federal government to intervene into disputes about transmission lines. In the president’s news release on the subject he is quoted as saying:
“Fourth, the energy bill will help ensure that consumers receive electricity over dependable modern infrastructure. The bill removes outdated obstacles to investment in electricity transmission lines in generating facilities. The bill corrects the provision of the law that made electric reliability standards optional instead of mandatory. Most of you probably consider it mandatory that the lights come on when you flip a switch. (Laughter.) Now the utility companies will have to consider it mandatory, as well. (Laughter.)
To keep local disputes from causing national problems, the bill gives federal officials the authority to select sites for new power lines. We have a modern interstate grid for our phone line and our highways. With this bill, America can start building a modern 21st century electricity grid, as well. “
