Option 2 : Replacement of wind power by thermal power
Need for energy conservation:
There are two sources of energy:
1.) Conventional sources of energy:
The sources of energy that are present for a limited time and will get exhausted with the passage of time are known as conventional sources of energy.
Example - Coal, Fossil Fuel, Petrol, etc.
2.) Non-conventional sources of energy:
The sources of energy that are present in large amounts in nature and will not get exhausted with the passage of time are known as non-conventional sources of energy.
Example - Wind, sunlight, hydro-energy, etc.
Therefore, all the coal or steam-based power plants, system, or equipment must be replaced with non-conventional sources of energy.
From the above options, the replacement of wind power with thermal power is NOT an example of an energy substitute as a measure for energy conservation.
