Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Hydropower associated with Congo Democratic Republic. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has reserves of petroleum, natural gas, coal, and a potential hydroelectric power generating capacity of around 100,000 MW. The Inga Dam, alone on the Congo River, has the potential capacity to generate 40,000 to 45,000 MW of electric power, sufficient to supply the electricity needs of the whole southern Africa region. Coal associated with Poland. Today Poland's coal industry is among the most competitive in Europe, providing jobs to over 100,000 people in the country. Poland is now the 9th largest hard coal producer in the world and the largest coal producer in the EU. It is also the 8th largest coking coal exporter in the world. Petroleum associated with Iraq. In 2006, Iraq's oil production averaged 2.0 million barrels per day (320
103 m3/d), down from around 2.6 Mbbl/d (41 O 103 m3/d) of production prior to the coalition invasion in 2003. Iraq?s reserve to production ratio is 158 years. Nuclear power associated with France. France derives over 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy. This is due to a long-standing policy based on energy security.
