## Answer key

1. C) Fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are named as a non-renewable energy resource, since they are depleted over time and are not naturally replenished for thousands or millions of years ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

2. Renewable resources, such as solar or wind, can be naturally replenished if handled responsibly, while non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels or nuclear, are depleted over time and will not be replenished for thousands or millions of years ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36498)).

3. False. Alberta relies on both renewable resources, such as water, hydro, wind, and biomass, and non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, to meet its energy needs ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

4. 6. The renewable resources listed are solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal, and water and hydro ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

5. B) Solar panels last more than 20 years. This is listed as an advantage of solar energy in the Heat the Home comparison ([PDF p.1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8922?page=1)).

6. Any one of: burning fossil fuels harms the environment, or fossil fuels are depleted over time. Both are listed as disadvantages of fossil fuels ([PDF p.1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8922?page=1)).

7. True. The source states that solar panels last more than 20 years as one of the advantages of solar energy ([PDF p.1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8922?page=1)).

8. 20. The source states that solar panels last more than 20 years ([PDF p.1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8922?page=1)).
