Imagine you are the director of your states Department of Environmental Services. Working with legislators, your goal is to decide which alternative renewable energy sources will assist your state in sustaining your limited fossil fuels and what the best fit is for your states economy. Develop a presentation highlighting which types of alternative renewable energy sources your state has chosen and how these energy sources will reduce the demands on fossil fuels and lower the carbon emissions in your state.For this assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that covers three alternative energy sources. Using the CSU Online Library and reading assignments in this unit, research alternative energy sources to determine which three will work best within your state. You may also use the U.S. Department of Energy website to assist you in your decisions: .Your presentation should adhere to the following format.
- Slide 1: On the title slide, include your name, course number, and the date.
- Slide 2: Provide a brief introduction (no more than 2 paragraphs).
- Slide 3: List the first alternative energy source. Briefly describe how this energy source would reduce the demands on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. Provide two arguments on why this energy source will work for your state.
- Slide 4: If your first alternative energy source is chosen, how may this source negatively affect the citizens in your state? Provide two arguments, and explain how this energy source may negatively impact your state.
- Slide 5: Include visuals for your first alternative energy source (e.g., hydropower, solar wind farm).
- Slide 6: List the second alternative energy source. Briefly describe how this energy source would reduce the demands on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. Provide two arguments on why this energy source will work for your state.
- Slide 7: If your second alternative energy source is chosen, how may this source negatively affect the citizens in your state? Provide two arguments, and explain how this energy source may negatively impact your state.
- Slide 8: Include visuals for your second alternative energy source (e.g., hydropower, solar wind farm).
- Slide 9: List the third alternative energy source. Briefly describe how this energy source would reduce the demands on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions. Provide two arguments on why this energy source will work for your state.
- Slide 10: If your second alternative energy source is chosen, how may this source negatively affect the citizens in your state? Provide two arguments, and explain how this energy source may negatively impact your state.
- Slide 11: Include visuals for your third alternative energy source (e.g., hydropower, solar wind farm).
- Slide 12: Include references, and ensure you list all supporting sources for your nine content/visual alternative energy source slides.
As a part of the presentation, you are required to use the notes section for each content slide to reinforce your presentation. You should use at least three reliable, academic sources to support your presentation. Images and graphics, along with supporting references and in-text citations, must follow APA formatting guidelines and must be free of errors. Your presentation should consist of a title slide, introduction slide, nine content/visual slides, and a references slide for a minimum total of 12 slides.Click to access a tutorial on how to create an effective PowerPoint presentation.
