Creating ways to use renewable resources in an effort to save nonrenewable resources is growing each year. Based on the information in the illustration above, why would China have more jobs in the renewable energy sector than any other country?

Question

A. China is the only country that uses multiple technologies to save nonrenewable resources.
B. China is the largest country geographically, so it has more energy-efficient power plants.
C. China's population exceeds all other countries, thus creating greater job opportunities and need for renewable energy.
D. China's location on Earth provides the country with the optimum need for more jobs to save nonrenewable resources.

Answer 1

The most appropriate answer is C. China's population exceeds all other countries, thus creating greater job opportunities and need for renewable energy.

A larger population leads to greater energy consumption and a higher demand for jobs in the renewable energy sector to meet that demand and transition away from nonrenewable resources.
