## Answer key

1. C) Wind. Wind is listed as a renewable energy resource, while coal, natural gas, and oil are fossil fuels and therefore non-renewable ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

2. False. Non-renewable energy resources are depleted over time because they will not be naturally replenished for thousands or millions of years ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

3. Any two of: fossil fuels, water and hydro, wind, biomass. Alberta relies on both renewable and non-renewable resources, and water/hydro, wind, and biomass are the renewable ones listed for Alberta ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36496)).

4. 19.2%. Fossil fuels generated 19.2% of Canada's electricity in 2025 ([PDF p.5](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8707?page=5)).

5. B) Nuclear. Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms apart, a process called nuclear fission, which heats water to produce steam that spins turbines ([PDF p.5](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8707?page=5)).

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

7. Any reasonable answer, such as: fossil fuels supply reliable heat and electricity to many Canadians (advantage), or fossil fuels will eventually run out and are not naturally replenished for thousands or millions of years (disadvantage) ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/36498)).

8. 12.9%. Nuclear energy generated 12.9% of Canada's electricity in 2025 ([PDF p.5](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/library/pdf/8707?page=5)).
