Question

CUBO (“KOO-boh”) Architects designed a visitors’ center about this natural resource for the DTU at its National Testing Center near Thy (“tew”) National Park. TenneT (“tenet”) proposed a transnational “hub-and-spoke” to connect with this resource’s facilities in a country that creates them with the “open door” procedure. 2023 protests against exploiting this resource on Sámi lands were joined by Greta Thunberg. Experiments with this resource by Poul la Cour and Johannes Juul informed the folk high school (-5[1])volunteers in the 1970s who first exploited it at scale in Denmark. This resource’s (-5[1])Dutch industry (10[1])created (10[1])Gemini and often faces protests (10[1])over an alleged sonic “syndrome.” (10[5]-5[1])Capturing this (10[1])resource with “parks” like the German Bight’s Alpha Ventus is vital (10[1])to the (10[2])Energiewende (10[2]-5[1])(“en-air-GHEE-ven-duh”). For 10 points, (10[1])what renewable resource is harnessed by the (10[1])North (-5[1])Sea’s offshore “farms”? (10[3])■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: wind [accept wind power or wind energy; accept wind turbines, wind farms, wind power stations, wind power plants, or wind parks; prompt on air, air currents, circulation, or atmosphere; prompt on motion or movement or kinetic energy; prompt on electricity or power or energy by asking “generated with what natural resource?”] (The first line refers to the Technical University of Denmark and Østerild Wind Turbine Test Field.)
