erginhoca.com – YDS Reading Vocabulary Test 6: Renewable Energy Generating electricity from renewable energy rather than fossil fuels offers significant public health benefits. The air and water pollution emitted by coal and natural gas plants is linked to breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, and cancer. Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy has been found to reduce premature mortality and lost workdays, and it reduces overall healthcare costs. Wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems generate electricity with no associated air pollution emissions. While geothermal and biomass energy systems emit some air pollutants, total air emissions are generally much lower than those of coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. In addition, wind and solar energy require essentially no water to operate and thus do not pollute water resources or strain supply by competing with agriculture, drinking water systems, or other important water needs. In contrast, fossil fuels can have a significant impact on water resources. For example, both coal mining and natural gas drilling can pollute sources of drinking water. Natural gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) requires large amounts of water and all thermal power plants, including those powered by coal, gas, and oil, withdraw and consume water for cooling. 1. According to the passage, one of the main drawbacks of fossil fuels is -----. generate electricity elektirk üretmek renewable energy yenilenebilir enerji rather than fossil fuels fosil yakıtları yerine significant benefits büyük fayda public health kamu sağlığı air and water pollution hava ve su kirliliği coal and natural gas plants kömür ve doğalgaz tesisleri breathing problems nefes alma problemleri heart attack kalp krizi replace fossil fuels with renewable enerji fosil yakıtları yenilenebilir enerjiyle değiştirmek premature mortality erken ölüm reduce healthcare costs sağlık masraflarını azaltmak emit pollutants kirli maddeler salmak power plant güç istasyonu require no water su gerektirmemek pollute water resources su kaynaklarını kirletmek strain supply tedariği aşmak compete with agriculture tarımla yarışmak water needs su ihtiyacı in contrast -e karşıt olarak significant impact büyük etki coal mining kömür madenciliği drilling delme işlemi drinking water sources içme suyu kaynakları natural gas extraction doğal gaz çıkarımı large amount büyük miktar withdraw water su çekmek consume water for cooling soğutma için su tüketmek overall cost toplam maliyet worldwide distribution dünya çapında dağıtım shortage of supply tedarik sıkıntısı adverse impact olumsuz etki a) the overall cost of maintaining power plants b) the difficulty of worldwide distribution c) the shortage of supply against demand d) the complexity of extraction e) the adverse impact on public health 2.
