There are several reasons for exploring alternative sources of energy. Here are the relevant options from your list:
**A. Safety issues**: Traditional energy sources, particularly fossil fuels, can pose safety risks, including accidents, spills, and exposure to hazardous materials. Alternative energy sources often present lower safety hazards.
**B. Cost production**: While initial investment in alternative energy technologies can be high, the overall cost of production and operation can decrease over time. Furthermore, renewable energy sources like solar and wind have low operational costs and can reduce dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets.
**D. Environmental concerns**: Traditional energy production methods often lead to environmental degradation, air and water pollution, and climate change. Alternative energy sources are typically more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact.
As for **C. They are not valuable resources**, this is not a valid reason for seeking alternative energy sources. In fact, many alternative energy sources are considered valuable and are increasingly being recognized for their potential to meet global energy needs sustainably.
**"People enjoy changes"** seems more like a subjective statement than a reason for looking at alternative energy sources. While societal trends can drive interest in new technologies, it doesn't directly address energy concerns.
In summary, A, B, and D provide valid reasons for seeking alternative energy sources.
