U.S. energy consumption by energy source, 2017 Total 97.7 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) Total = 11.0 quadrillion Btu geothermal 2 % solar 6% petroleum 37% - wind 21% biomass waste 4% biofuels 21% renewable energy 11% nuclear electric power 9% biomass 45% natural gas 29% wood 19% coal 14% hydroelectric 25%
Opponents of alternative and renewable energy technologies argue that such technologies are expensive and contain many hidden costs. Opponents of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy technologies argue that we don't account for the hidden environmental and health costs of these technologies, which makes non-renewables (primarily fossil fuels) seem cheaper. Explore this debate by doing the following: Go to the website page: https://www.aei.org/articles/the-trouble-with-renewable-energy/ to read an article stating that renewable energy technologies may not fulfill their promise. Notice the date of the article and reflect on any change in our society's perception on this subject. Also note the author. I recommend you always do a bit of research about an article's author, because it is important to understand an author's frame of reference. Now go to the Clean Energy website to read an article about renewable energy technology:…
After completing the GVL OER module - Energy Use and Sources and other related resources, discuss three of the following types of sustainable energy: wind, water, solar, geothermal, or biomass. Examine related resources and research, and then provide a more in-depth argument for the one type of energy production you believe will be most environmentally friendly, sustainable, and cost effective for our future.
