Yes, there were some questions that I intuitively had correct, but chose the wrong answer, like the energy content question that included the hamburgers. Good quiz.
I did pretty good, but only because I have an investment in the oil industry (a contrarian play) and have learned a lot about it in the process, and got most of the oil-related ones right. That wood was the largest biofuels source was a surprise. Duh.
the statement in question 2 says that hydropower accounts for 35% of renewable energy quote Americans used renewable energy sources to meet about 8% of our total energy needs in 2009. Hydropower provided the most energy, followed by wood, biofuels, wind, biomass waste, geothermal, and solar. Hydropower accounted for 35% of renewable energy use.
yet question 6 states that half of the "renewable energy " used in the us, last i checked that was 50% so questions 2 and 6 are contradictory.
other than that i thought it was fun, i was right on 16 out of twenty obviously missing question 2 i went with biomass (confirmed by the 6th question) as well as a couple others that i flat didnt know , good quiz but the site (.gov) needs to rethink their questions
