Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these.
Renewable Energy (RE) is the future. With that said, one can argue that the future has arrived, in parts at least. Worldwide acceptance towards green energy is giving the sustainable energy sector more market share every year. The growth is consistent, with each year out-performing the previous, leading renewable energy to account for 1/3rd of global energy capacity.
It's fair to state that the growth trajectory is incredible, and considering that it took only a little more than a just decade to reach this position, we could call it _____________. However, the most important question is, is this satisfactory? The goal of green energy transition is to solve growing energy scarcity and reduce dependency on fossil fuels in order to move towards a fully sustainable energy landscape. Therefore, to identify success, we need to compare renewable energy growth with the current scenario.
According to WHO's estimates, currently, more than 7 million people die every year from pollution, up from 4.2 million in 2016. Fossil fuel consumption has increased globally from 94,462/twh in 2000 to 1,33,853/twh now. The rise in population (currently 7.7 billion) indicates a steady growth in energy demand worldwide. In comparison, the fact that renewable energy took a decade to become 1/3 of energy capacity is not the ideal pace, considering we might not have two more decades to wait for RE to catch up.
Question : 6
Which of the following can be inferred from the statement “one can argue that the future has arrived, in parts at least”?
a) The growth trajectory in the field of renewable energy is incredible.
b) The dependency on fossil fuels has significantly reduced.
c) The sustainable energy sector has identified RE to be an ideal component.
d) The pace at which RE is developing is consistent but not ideal.
e) None of the above.
Answer »Answer: (d)
The statement “one can argue that the future has arrived, in parts at least” implies that Renewable Energy has made it presence felt, but it is not as much as it is required to be. The same idea has been mentioned in option d, which is the correct answer.
