As a result, many power plants have switched from coal to natural gas, leading to a decline in coal consumption and production. The shift is driven by natural gas's lower carbon emissions and the abundance of shale gas, which has made it a more competitive fuel for power generation. This transition has been a key factor in reducing U.S. carbon emissions in recent years.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Wind energy "},{"right":"yes","answer":"Coal"},{"right":"no","answer":"Oil"},{"right":"no","answer":"Nuclear energy"}],"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\/11283","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=11283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11283"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
