Problem
Prompt: stability of the resources, the "green" element of the resources (clean both in extraction/development and use), and security of the resources (the resource is domestic rather than provided by other countries). Considering the attributes listed above, review past and current energy use, and explain the issues with the current energy mix. The most desirable attributes for the future of the U.S. energy supply are: affordability,
Specifically, you must address the critical elements from the final project as listed below:
I. Relate the historical (1950-1990) mix of energy consumption in the United States. As a starting point, visit the U.S. Energy Information Administration webpage summarizing energy sources for electricity in the United States. Specifically, speak on the non-renewable resources of coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas, and the renewable resources of solar, wind, and hydropower. Cite your sources.
II. Describe how the U.S. energy mix has adjusted since 2010 to the present with respect to both non-renewable (coal, petroleum, natural gas) and renewable (solar, wind, hydropower) resources. This will be your description of the current U.S. energy mix. Cite your sources.
III. Explain the issues with the current U.S. energy mix and the effect on the environment. Cite your sources.
