Renewable energy: technology and trade-offs — Homework

Show your division for the comparative-scale question, and match sources to geography carefully.

  1. 1.Suppose window strikes cause roughly 600 million bird deaths per year and wind turbines cause roughly 300,000. How many times larger is the window-strike estimate?
  2. 2.Explain what "intermittent" means and name the two renewable sources it mainly applies to.
  3. 3.Match each renewable source to its best-suited scenario: a region with strong, steady internal Earth heat; a region with a large elevation drop and a major river.
  4. 4.Report your site-suitability survey: which renewable source, if any, would make the most sense for your own property or neighborhood, and why?
