Part D
The bar graph shows the cost per megawatt-hour comparison of various renewable and nonrenewable energy sources in
the United States. The blue portion of the bars represents the cost of electricity. The red portion represents the additional
system costs of harnessing that type of energy. Systems costs may include equipment expenses and costs of connection
to a power grid.
