The Future of Energy- Extra Credit

With new gizmos and gadgets coming out every year and our unquenchable thirst for transportation, energy use in the United States is at an all time high. The only issue is, much of the world has caught up with our lust for consumption causing widespread pollution and issues with supply. Fossil fuel costs are rising and supplies will one day run out.

There are many ideas for renewable and alternative energy sources in use and on the drawing table. Wind plants have sprung up on the plains and solar farms can be found scattered across the West. With the constant demand, there must be a change in means or our current system will one day meet it's end.

Research an alternative energy source discovering the process and the possibilities of it in the future. Develop a poster that can be hung in the hallway. Include short reports and illustrations. Credit will be based on your overall report, ranging from a replacement daily grade to a replacement major grade.

Poster are due no later than April 20th.
