One technological solution to climate change mentioned is?

• A. Develop an alternate, safe energy source
• B. Ban all industry
• C. Make carbon capture mandatory only for power plants
• D. Genetically modify crops for higher yield

Answer: (A)

Developing an alternate, safe energy source centers on swapping out fossil fuels for cleaner options such as renewables and advanced nuclear. This directly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the largest source in modern economies, providing a scalable path to lower atmospheric CO2. With energy needed across transportation, industry, and homes, expanding clean generation enables broad decarbonization without throttling economic activity. The other options either propose drastic societal actions rather than a technological solution for energy, rely on a narrow or partial fix, or shift focus away from energy systems to agriculture, so they don’t offer the same comprehensive path to emissions reductions. In short, creating new, cleaner energy sources is a fundamental technological approach to addressing climate change.
