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.
