What is an advantage of using fossil fuels to generate electricity?

1. using wind power is less expensive than burning coal
2. fossil fuels are abundant in many places
3. the smoke from power plants contribute to global warming
4. fossil fuels can generate only small amounts of electricity

2. fossil fuels are abundant in many places

Explanation:

They are those fuels that originate in sedimentary rocks formed by animal and vegetable remains that take millions of years to hundreds of meters of the earth's surface.

Advantages of fossil fuels

-Petroleum:

High calorific value (good performance)

Regular source of energy

A wide variety of products can be obtained from petroleum

-Coal:

Large amount of energy

It can be consumed at the same extraction site

Transportation costs are saved

-Natural gas:

Natural gas has a competitive price.

It has several operational advantages over other fuels.

Its combustion is much cleaner than that of other fuels, which facilitates compliance with demanding environmental standards.

Given the cleanliness of its combustion, it allows to explore markets that were previously difficult to enter due to environmental restrictions.

All these fossil fuels have the advantage that they are widely available in many parts of the planet

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
