Investigate the environmental effects of all energy sources.
Investigation should include
- air quality effects
- amount of carbon emission per energy source
- other emissions from energy production (e.g., sulfur dioxide [SO2], oxides of nitrogen [NOx], mercury)
- water quality effects
- water usage
- sulfur oxides (Sox), NOx, mercury, warm water
- wildlife effects
- habitat destruction and/or fragmentation.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are some effects that energy sources have on the environment?
- How do energy sources effect wildlife?
