So what if  5 years ago you’ve moved out of the city to the beautiful mountain region of VA and it’s been peaceful as you’ve hoped.  You do all the environmentally good things you can; recycling your papers and plastic, conserve on water and you’ve put solar panels on the roof to help heat your home. Now your neighbor, who owns a majority of the mountain land, wants to lease his land (the very top of the mountain) to a company that will put up large, large windmills (turbines).  These windmills will supply the area with low cost, carbon-free energy.  What do you see as the pros and cons for having these windmills on the mountain top?  

I’m curious ;  Students, what does it mean to you ‘to study for a test?’  What exactly do you do?  What distracts you while studying?  Do you ever fall asleep?  Do you ever study with someone?Who? On an average, how many minutes can you stay focused on studying for a before losing concentration?
