Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which would be a good solution for the acid rain problem even though it might be challenging?
A
increasing the use of hydroelectricity, wind and solar power
B
opening newer coal burning plants
C
getting other countries to reduce burning fossil fuels
D
passing laws to reduce emissions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Filter and detoxify the water used by the factories before returning it to the rivers. Reduce the emission of pollutant gases by industry. Encourage the production and use of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. Reduce the energy consumption of factories and companies.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are three ways to reduce acid rain? Alternative energy sources should be used, such as solar and wind power. Renewable sources of energy are helping to reduce acid rain, as they produce much fewer emissions. There are other electricity sources as well, such as nuclear power, hydropower, and geothermal energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is also possible to prevent acid rain forming, by adding lime deposits to major water sources. This method has been used to neutralize the Ph levels in the water, which reduced the acidity, for thousands of years, the LA Times reported (opens in new tab).

Detailed explanation-5: -An acid rain is caused by the nitrogen oxides that are released from the factories that burn coal and other fossil fuels. If power plants and factories change the way they produce energy, there would be fewer pollutants that are released in the atmosphere. Therefore, the formation of acid rain is reduced.
