Propose A Viable Energy Mix for the Future
Recommend a Responsible and Viable Energy Policy You Feel Should be Adopted in the USA (Think Sustainabilitv) (Compare 2017 Actual Useage With Target Years 2027, 2037, 2047)
- First; Identify/Estimate the Current Energy %Usage Mix by Category (Fossil Fuels by Type, Nuclear, Solar, Hydroelectric, Wind, Geothermal, Others) for the USA in 2017 (MS Word Table or Pie Chart Graphics Mandatory)
- Next; Determine the Optimal Future Energy% Usage Mix by Category (Fossil Fuels by Type, Nuclear, Solar, Hydroelectric, Wind, Others) for the USA in Years 2027, 2037, and 2047 (MS Word Table or Pie Chart Graphics Mandatory) (The Mix Must be Feasible; 100% of Any One Source is NOT Feasible/Realistic)
- Finally; Provide Rationale Why We Should Increase the Reliance Upon Some Types of Energy and Decrease Reliance Upon Other Types of Energy in the Next 30 Years (Discuss Pros & Cons: Consider Economic Efficiency and Environmental Impact of Each Source)
