Energy Test Corrections

Download Renewable Energy Pre-Test

The one about Germany being the leader in solar energy is wrong. It's actually China, but the place where I shamelessly stole this test apparently has not updated their info since 2015. :) So, the correct answer is Germany (but we will note that it's actually China).

Other things I messed up: 35 is B and 23 is D. Those were miskeyed. 

I'm sure there are more! Feel free to bring them to my attention in class. ;)
