As a group, we showed our understanding of geothermal energy; and the pros and cons surrounding this energy source. In conclusion, geothermal energy is a sustainable and renewable energy source which is really effective if the production plants are located in prime locations. BC would benefit from this energy source since we have many potential energy production locations here. Here is the google slides presentation we created.

In this project, we discuss the causes of climate change and the effects it has on society. Overall I feel our group demonstrated a great understanding on the topic, using appropriate examples and offering manageable solutions to these problems.
Many groups presented a specific type of energy production. Here is my order of which ones I find are the best as a sustainable energy, based off of the presentations.
Solar - It is already used so much around the world - Can be used in most parts of the world - Affordable - Takes a lot of space which is a problem - Can be set up on roofs which is beneficial for infrastructure Wind - It is a resource that is easy accessible - Affordable - Space Efficient - It is expensive at first Hydro - Water makes up about 80% of the earth, so it is easily accessible - Clean, and does not produce gas emissions - Space efficient, because the turbine stays under water Tidal - No negative environmental impact - Easy to maintain, but costly in the beginning - Reliable/Predictable - Water makes up about 80% of the earth, so it is easily accessible Geothermal - It is a renewable energy source since the heat from the Earth is practically infinite - It can be very expensive in the beginning - If enough money is put into the production plants, then it is valuable - Does not harm the planet |
