Research and read articles, books, etc. that you find about an environmental topic related to renewable energy.

All forms of renewable energy are “in the news” today. It is not difficult to find discussions on refuse to energy, solar, wind, biomass, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen and even others (surprise me if you can). We live in a world today where there is no turning back to the sole use of fossil fuels. Renewable energy development is in our future, but still with advantages and disadvantages. Feel free to explore the environmental aspects of renewable energy at will.

Direction: Research and read articles, books, etc. that you find about an environmental topic related to renewable energy. You can use any reputable peer reviewed source with proper referencing using APA standards. Concentrate on the environmental aspects of the topic and bringing attention to problem areas but do not neglect any social, business and political overlap.
