A. Read the passage, and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False: (1 pt)

Are you looking for a cheap, clean effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun. At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the sun. One percent of solar energy that reaches the earth is enough to provide power for the total population. Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too.

Renewable energy is the goal that Swedish’s governments want to reach 50 percent in 2020. The renewable energy comes from wind, solar, geothermal or wave power, biofuels or small-scale hydroelectric plants. At present, Sweden is slightly more than halfway to this target, due chiefly to the increased use of biofuels and a steadily expanding wind power program.
