Energy is one of the underlying themes of science. which of these best represents how the concept of energy will shape our future? a) the amount of total energy will continue to decrease b) plants will stop doing photosynthesis to create energy c) the amount of energy available in food chains will increase dramatically d) we must find alternative sources of energy besides nonrenewable fossil fuels

With the increase in the consumption of non-renewable sources for the production of energy in order to satisfy the requirement of mass population, the sources are getting depleted day by day.

Thus, there is a need to overcome the situation for the betterment of the upcoming generations. As the sources are non-renewable, so it cannot get replenished all of a sudden. Therefore, the only way to cope up with the situation without putting the future at stake is to find the alternative sources of energy besides non-renewable fossil fuels.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
