Which of the following energy sources is NOT typically classified as green energy?

Wind power
Solar power
Natural gas
Hydro power

The correct answer is: Natural gas

Natural gas is not typically classified as a green energy source because, while it produces lower carbon emissions compared to coal and oil, it is still a fossil fuel. Green energy sources are defined primarily by their ability to be replenished naturally and their minimal impact on the environment. Wind power, solar power, and hydro power all fall into this category because they harness natural processes that have little to no carbon footprint during operation. Natural gas, on the other hand, emits greenhouse gases when burned, contributing to climate change, which is contrary to the goals of sustainability associated with green energy. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for being classified as green energy.
