Question 78

Comprehension

What is the principal contention advanced by the author? Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the passage: The accelerated exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves, compounded by escalating ecological degradation and geopolitical volatility, has repositioned renewable energy from a peripheral environmental concern to a central axis of global strategic discourse. Yet public deliberations frequently remain confined to questions of generation capacity, neglecting the equally consequential dimension of systemic integration. A sophisticated appraisal of renewable energy must therefore encompass not merely its diverse sourc es—solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass—but also the heterogeneous sectors within which it can recalibrate economic structures, redistribute political leverage, and foster environmental equity. In the sphere of electricity production, decentralized photovoltaic arrays and micro-hydel installations have begun to supplant carbon -intensive grids, particularly in geographically marginalized regions historically excluded from centralized infrastructure. Wind corridors in coastal and semi-arid territories have likewise catalyzed localized employment ecosystems while attenuating reliance on imported hydrocarbons. Beyond electricity, renewable modalities are permeating transportation logistics, industrial thermodynamics, and agrarian mechanization. Second-generation biofuels synthesized from lignocellulosic agricultural residues present a viable decarbonization pathway for aviation and long -haul freight—domains conventionally resistant to electrification. Concurrently, solar - powered irrigation systems have augmented agrarian autonomy by mitigating dependence on erratic grid supply and diesel combustion. Nevertheless, the transformative promise of renewables is circumscribed by structural impediments, including intermittency, storage constraints, land acquisition conflicts, and prohibitive capital outlays. An imprudent or inequitable transition, devoid of infrastructural resilience and community assent, risks reproducing the asymmetries it purports to dismantle. Thus, the pivotal inquiry transcends production metrics and instead interrogates how renewable energy can be embedded cohesively across sectors, geographies, and socio-political hierarchies.

Renewable energy is exclusively viable in electricity generation

Its transformative potential resides in cross-sectoral integration

It eliminates geopolitical volatility

It is primarily symbolic in policy discourse

Question 79
