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
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?
Can you offer an explanation for this remarkable concentration? If
you were part of a team of exploration geologists looking for large
copper deposits, where would you focus your search?
Given that we are now dependent on nonrenewable resources of
energy and minerals, and that the world's population continues to
