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.
