A) increased international conflict B) decreased production C) lower net energy yields D) greater technological input E) increased CO₂ output

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unconventional heavy oil sources such as depleted oil wells and oil sands have lower net energy yields, meaning it takes more energy to extract and process the oil than the energy obtained from it. This results in higher production costs and higher oil prices. Additionally, the extraction and processing of unconventional oil sources can have higher environmental impacts than conventional oil sources. Increased international conflict, decreased production, greater technological input, and increased CO₂ output are not directly related to the use of unconventional oil sources.
