  29. You Answered A • Correct! On average it takes 9 months to pay back the CO2 emissions produced during construction.

  30. You Answered B • Incorrect. Not enough electricity has been produced yet to surpass the turbines CO2 deficit.

  31. You Answered C • Incorrect By now the turbine has paid for itself in energy savings

  32. You Answered D • Incorrect By now the turbine has paid for itself in energy savings

  33. Which is not an environmental impact of Wind Turbines? • Avian Deaths • Noise • Visually intrusive • Nuclear Radiation

  34. You Answered A • Incorrect There are reported avian deaths averaging 4 per turbine yearly through wind energy production.

  35. You Answered B • Incorrect • The noise of the blades of the turbine has been cited as a minor disturbance locally from the turbines.

  36. You Answered C • Incorrect In scenic areas the visual impact of wind turbines have been reported to take away from the landscape.

  37. You Answered D • Correct! Wind turbines do not create nuclearradiation!

  38. Who was the 1st person to capture wind power for electricity? • Professor James Blyth • Professor William McNeil • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde • Isaac Newton
