Which of the following accurately compares windmills and turbines used to generate wave energy? (2 points)

Windmills are used to generate force as well as electricity.

Windmill energy is more reliable than wave energy from a turbine.

Both windmills and turbines used to generate wave energy produce waste.

Windmills are available in fewer places than turbines used to generate wave energy are.

Windmills are located only on land, whereas turbines used to generate wave energy are located only at sea.
