Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Pollution-free energy is any energy that is generated from natural resources such as sunshine, wind, or water.
  2. The most important aspect of these energy sources is that they have no negative environmental impact by emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
  3. A resource cannot be classed as green energy if it pollutes the environment in the same manner that fossil fuels do.
  4. This means that not all renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly.
  5. Apart from the natural sources of energy like solar energy and wind energy, we cannot consider the others to be pollution-free.

Hence, yes sources of energy can be pollution-free only if it is from natural renewable resources.
