The most desirable attributes for the future of the U.S. energy supply are:
Affordability
Stability of the resources
The “green” element of the resources (clean both in extraction/development and use)
Security of the resources (the resource is domestic rather than provided by other countries)
Considering the attributes listed above, write a paper that presents your vision of what the U.S. energy mix should be in 2050. Incorporate what
you have learned in this course, as well as your independent investigation.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements from the final project as listed below:
II. Proposed Mix
A. Describe what you think the 2050 U.S. energy mix should be (with approximate percentages adding up to 100%)
B. Justify why this mix is desirable and feasible in relation to the future attributes mentioned in the prompt. Support your
justification by citing appropriate resources.
C. Formulate the pathway for the United States to get to your suggested mix. Explain what changes will need to be made socially,
politically, and to the infrastructure to support your proposed mix. Cite your sources.
