What does the Hubbert's peak represent?

the point at which oil production reaches a maximum

the point where oil production increases

the amount of nuclear fuel available in the world

the amount of coal reserves in the US

What is used to generate solar energy on a commercial scale?

large mirrors to concentrate sunlight

flat-panel solar collector system

What is the description of a fuel cell car?

uses hydrogen to generate electricity that runs the motor

uses waste oil from food industry into ethanol

uses methane to heat water and steam turns the turbine

runs off of internal combustion and a battery

Which is NOT an example of biomass?

crop leftovers (the part of the plant that isn't consumed)

How does biomass reduce our carbon footprint by producing less CO2 than fossil fuels?

Plants absorb the same amount of CO2 that is released when it is burned.

Plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere and put it permanently into the ground.

Biomass filters CO2 to make it more environmentally stable.

Biomass doesn't release any CO2 when burned.

Which is NOT a way to conserve energy?

Using a desktop computer rather than a laptop

Consolidating errands while to make fewer car tips

Replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs

Lowering thermostats during cold months

What is a possible downside to hydroelectric energy?

generates high levels of pollution

high operation and maintenance cost

Most of the developing countries in the world depend on _______ for their main source of energy.

biomass (including wood, manure, etc)

According to the second law of thermodynamics, whenever one form of energy is transformed into another,

some of the energy is converted to a less usable form, like heat

all of the energy is put to work

all of the energy is converted into a less usable form, like heat

50% of the energy is put to work, the rest is lost as heat

Which of the following is a disadvantage of solar energy?

It can only be used effectively in certain regions and certain times of day

It produces greenhouse gases during use

It is a nonrenewable energy source

It is inexpensive compared to other sources

All of the following would increase global greenhouse gas emissions EXCEPT

replace coal power plants with solar energy

use natural gas instead of hydroelectric

reduce the number of nuclear power plants

Most oil in the US is used

as supplements for human and animal health

Which two things increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere ?

burning fossil fuels and deforestation

burning fossil fuels and using renewable energy sources

deforestation and shifting to renewable energy

mining and the production of PV solar panels

in most power plants what is the heat energy used for?

to create steam which turns turbines

to directly power the generator

the heat is transmitted through the electrical grid into homes

nuclear fission which then creates a chain reaction

The major downside to hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is that

the fracking chemicals could get into aquifers and groundwater

the empty spaces left behind can result in earthquakes or buildings collapsing

the equipment that is used is very cheap and often falls apart after a single use

Why don't we use vegetable oils or other biofuels for our transportation needs

would require too much land to produce enough to meet demand

the viscosity isn't appropriate for current engines

they build up in engines long term and cause problems

problems associated with the use of trees for biomass include all of the following except

burning fossilized carbon and releasing it into the atmosphere

the loss of habitat for wildlife and some people

Ways to maximize our energy resources include all of the following EXCEPT

reducing funding for renewable resource development

having lower MPG (miles per gallon) requirements

Why don't we use vegetable oils or other biofuels for our transportation needs

would require too much land to produce enough to meet demand

the viscosity isn't appropriate for current engines

they build up in engines long term and cause problems

What is a possible downside to hydroelectric energy?
