Renewable Energy Review

BLS Environmental Science

Solar Power

• What do you believe needs to happen before solar power becomes a thoroughly mainstream form of energy production? Defend your answer.

Adverse Weather

• What do you think could be a viable solution for backup power systems for solar heaters in the event of bad weather?

Hydrogen Power

• How much promise does hydrogen power hold? Is its eventual sustainability just a myth or something to be pursued?

Renewable Energy Potential

• Imagine you are charged with building a facility run entirely by renewable resources (with the possible exception of backup power). How would you evaluate which sources have the most potential?
