CAFE standards are regulations to:

Increase fuel economy in the country's vehicle fleet

Decrease the price of fuel for vehicles

Maintain fuel economy over time

Which of the following correctly describes a fossil fuel:

Is non-renewable because it takes tens of millions of years to form

Is a fuel made from dinosaur bones

Is renewable because it is naturally occurring

Solar power plants that focus light on to a tower containing water to produce steam need which of the following?

flat solar tracking mirrors that direct sunlight towards the top of the tower

Flat non-tracking mirrors aimed at the top of the tower

A flat solar tracking grid of photoelectric cells

A passive system where building design alone absorbs enough solar energy to heat the water.

Hydroelectric power plants use pumped storage to do which one of the following?

Store energy by pumping excess water to a high level reservoir during times of low demand

Produce excess energy by using extra pumps to move more water past the turbines

Store energy by pumping water from the river downstream back into the reservoir

Produce more energy by pumping water to other power plants

Which of the following statements describes the process of turning geothermal energy into electricity?

Steam from the ground is directed through insulated pipes to turbines, which turn the generators. Waste water and steam is injected back into the steam field.

Hot water deep in the ground is used to turn turbines and produce electricity. Hot water is the returned to the ground

Heat from deep in the ground is used to heat boilers which produce the steam to turn a turbine and produce electricity. Waste steam is returned to the boiler.

Water is circulated through pipes buried in the ground. The water is turned to steam by geothermal heat. The steam is used to turn a turbine to make electricity.

Which of the following fuel types is the most energy efficient when used to power cars?

Electric batteries charged from mains supply

Which of the following statements about passive solar heating is true?

Uses building design elements to capture and retain heat from the sun to warm a building

Uses pumps to capture and circulate solar energy about the building, but uses no internal heating components.

Is the slow steady heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun

Is only viable in extremely sunny areas such as deserts

Which of the following statements about the production of electricity using water (hydroelectricity) is true?

It is very efficient because there are few steps in the process so most of the energy in the water is converted to electricity

Is very inefficient because most of the energy is lost as friction of the water against the penstock walls.

Is very efficient because water is renewable

Is very inefficient because it is dependent of the available water

Which of the following releases the least amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy?

All of these produce the same amount of carbon dioxide
