The growth of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, has also contributed to the decline in coal production. Environmental regulations and concerns over climate change have further accelerated the shift away from coal to more sustainable energy options.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Coal"},{"right":"no","answer":"Oil"},{"right":"no","answer":"Solar energy"},{"right":"no","answer":"Hydroelectric power"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":47,"title":"Geography","slug":"geography"},{"id":12,"title":"United States of America","slug":"united-states-of-america"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1757,"title":"Energy Resources of the United States","slug":"energy-resources-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1756,"title":"Natural Resources in the United States","slug":"natural-resources-in-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11115"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11115"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=11115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
