Natural gas is a cleaner-burning fossil fuel compared to coal, emitting fewer greenhouse gases and pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. As a result, many U.S. power plants have shifted from coal to natural gas, reducing coal\u2019s share of the energy mix. This shift has been a key factor in reducing U.S. carbon emissions and improving air quality, even as the nation continues to rely on fossil fuels for energy.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Wind energy"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Coal"},{"right":"no","answer":"Hydroelectric power"},{"right":"no","answer":"Oil"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"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\/11201","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=11201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11201"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11201"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=11201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
