Two new wind turbines have recently been built

within the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The power that

these turbines generate will be enough to power

the entire first floor of the tower, including the

restaurants, shops, and exhibits. A benefit of using

wind power as an alternative source of energy is

that it

(1) is nonrenewable, so additional resources will

be depleted by tower businesses

(2) is renewable, so it will decrease the

environmental impact of the tower

businesses

(3) increases the use of resources that cannot be

renewed in the future

(4) decreases the amount of fossil fuels available

for future generations

(2) is renewable, so it will decrease the environmental impact of the tower

businesses

Explanation:

Wind power is a renewable energy that cannot be depleted and as such is sustainable. Additionally, replacing renewable energy such as gas power by renewable energy such as wind, solar or hydopower will reduce the use of fossil fuels and hence reduce environmental impact of the tower businesses.
