Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 58Q
Cooking with an electric stove can have a negative effect on the environment, just as one that uses natural gas can, even though gas is not being burned directly. Why is this? Hint: Where does the electricity used to power the stove come from?

Both coal and natural gas can be burned to generate electricity. However, burning natural gas produces about half the carbon dioxide emissions as burning coal to provide the same amount of energy. Why is it better for the environment to phase out coal-burning power plants in favor of natural gas-burning power plants?
Please help me with this chemistry question, please include citations/references. Thank you!
Discuss and explain at least two problems associated with the burning of fossil fuels. Is fossil fuel finite? What is its origin? What are two examples of some environmentally friendly renewable energy resources?
The rate of solar energy striking Earth averages 168 watts per square meter. The rate of energy radiated from Earth’s surface averages 390 watts per square meter. Comparing these numbers, one might expect that the planet would cool quickly, yet it does not. Why not?
