Congratulations! You are well on your way to becoming an expert in your company. Continue to explore the following resources below to find out more specific (and detailed) information on your company’s renewable energy. Be careful, your boss is on the lookout for those not completing their work. The boss is in the habit of popping up behind you to see what you are working on and the boss is definitely not pleased with workers off topic. Remember there is a lot of money in this for your company, and if you successfully convince the City Planning Board, the boss will be sure to remember your committee’s part in all of this (your grade).

 Please find out the following information about your renewable energy source. Record this information on a separate piece of paper (everyone in your group must know all of the information). Hint: Use the links provided in the resources section to help you find this information. Have one group member print this page out so you know you answered all the questions. All answers should be in your own words (do NOT copy and paste information – The boss will deduct your reward money [grade] if this is done)

1. Brief description.

2. Explain how it works and where the energy comes from.

3. Why is it considered renewable?

4. Is it used anywhere else? Give specific examples of people using it today.

5. Can it be used everywhere? Explain.

6. Why is it better than other energy sources?

7. Explain the aesthetics of the company. Is it going to ruin the landscape of the city? (Ex: will there be a giant building that is an eyesore?).

8. What does it cost to implement? What does it cost a consumer to use?

9. Other research you find interesting or important. (Remember you want the best advertisement and to be able to answer any questions by the City Planning Board).
