Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it.

If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants ... our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze or starve to death.
