destroy houses and buildings nearby and pieces of the blade might be scattered meters away. Wind power accidents are much common compared to nuclear accidents. Recorded in 2008 were casualties of 16 civilians and 41 workers— a continuously increasing number. During high winds, the turbines should be stopped and the rotation should be stopped in order to reduce this staggering figure of casualties. Moreover, a regular check-up on these wind turbines should be made in order to prevent bugs build-up and the wearing of the blades because if not 20-30 % is estimate product loss. According to O’ Sullivan, 2011, money is an important element in maintaining the quality of blades in order to maintain the wind power. Wind Power: The Pros There are many pros of wind power as a renewable resource of energy. It is estimated that wind turbines can usually generate 500 kilowatts of power that can lessen the carbon dioxide emission by approximately--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GLG 220 Week 5 Individual Questions( UOP)

GLG 220 Week 5 Individual Questions Prepare a response to Critical and Creative Thinking Questions 1 – 5 in Ch. 15 of Visualizing Geology. Provide an explanation in your responses. Oil production in the United States satisfies only half of the country ' s needs; the rest is imported. If imports were cut off, what changes would you expect to occur in your lifestyle? If you are interested in controversies, investigate how geophysicist M. King Hubbert predicted in 1956 that annual U. S. oil production would peak in the early 1970s( the actual peak occurred in 1971). Also, investigate the debate over whether the same predictive technique can be applied to world oil supplies. When do you think world oil production will reach its peak— or has it done so already?
