Question

Hydel power contributes to nearly half of the world energy requirements
true or false?

Answer 1

Hydel power or the hydroelectricity is produced from the speedy water flow,this is a good alternative for the fossil fuels and the thermal energy sources.

But the hydel energy plant's implementation costs are very high.And this energy source can't provide the humongous amount of energy that we consume everyday.

That's why this energy source is still not applied in a large scale.

So the statement mentioned in the question is completely false.

Answer 2

Solution: the given statement is false. Hydel power contributes to almost 17 percent of total world energy consumption. China, although, is the largest producer of hydroelectricity.

Fossil fuels and nuclear power plants are engaged in producing electricity. The best part of the hydel power energy is that there is minimal or no pollution as the fuel is not burnt which creates air pollution.
