Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incandescent light bulb and the internal combustion engine are both widely used technologies that are responsible for wasting enormous amounts of energy. Incandescent light bulbs are highly inefficient and waste up to 90% of the energy they consume as heat, while the internal combustion engine is the primary source of power for most cars and is also highly inefficient, wasting up to 60% of the energy it consumes as heat. Both technologies contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
