How will we produce and use energy differently in the future?- quiz
Well done for all your fantastic work this lesson. This quick quiz will show you how much you've learned.
Q1.Energy security is when a country provides affordable energy to its poorest citizens.
Q2.Countries need to keep transitioning to renewable energy sources.
Q3.The UK imports energy from other countries.
Q5.In terms of energy security, what does self-sufficiency mean?
Work with another country or countries to share your resources. Using less energy means you have to generate less of it. Use your own natural resources to generate all your own energy. Develop new technologies so that you establish energy security in your country. Import your energy from many different sources, in case one fails.
