Question 10 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

Which statement best supports the development of new wind farms?

Answer
A
Wind farms decrease carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere.
B
Wind farms increase public dependence on burning fossil fuels for energy.
C
Wind farms increase the volume of hazardous waste that is generated.
D
Wind farms decrease the number of migratory bird patterns that scientists observe.

Explanation

Wind turbines generate electricity without burning fossil fuels, so they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions compared with fossil-fuel power plants. This supports developing wind farms because lower emissions help limit the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The other choices describe harmful effects or outcomes that do not support wind farm development.
