by industry including conventional and new renewable energy alternatives. For this assignment, you will write an essay describing a fossil fuel
(coal, oil, or natural gas), a conventional energy alternative (nuclear power,
bioenergy, or hydroelectric power), and a renewable energy source (solar or
wind). There may be other types of energy sources in each category, but only
choose one from each category that is listed. In your essay, describe each of your three selected energy sources. Be sure
to mention if you are discussing the energy source as an electricity source or
as an overall energy source. For instance, natural gas can be used for heat by
simple combustion or can be used for electricity by heating water to steam and
then using the steam to turn a turbine generator. Your essay should address the following for each of your three
energy sources: impact on the environment and ecosystems, conservation strategies, energy use, environmental policies related to pollution prevention, energy options for industry, and power company initiatives related to sustainability. Your essay should be at least three pages in length, not counting the title
or reference pages. Support your essay with at least two academic articles
from the CSU Online Library. The articles that you select from the CSU Online
Library should have been published no earlier than 2000. In addition to your
two academic sources, you may also use the textbook and other sources to
support your essay. Be sure to properly cite and reference all sources using
APA format.
