In this project, you will examine the power grid in your city/town. You will investigate the primary source of power, discuss its environmental impacts, and propose the best alternative energy source based on your location. Instructions Research the structure and primary source of power in your city. Gather information about your city’s power grid, identifying the primary energy source used for electricity generation. Explore local utility websites and/or government reports to gather accurate and up-to-date information. Analyze the environmental impacts associated with the primary power source in your city. Examine the environmental consequences of the current energy source, considering factors such as air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and other ecological impacts. Use reliable sources and data to support your analysis. Research alternative energy sources that are suitable for electricity needs in your location. Explore renewable energy options such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, or others that align with the geographical and climatic conditions of your city. Consider the potential benefits and challenges associated with each alternative. Write a report about the power grid in your city/town and be sure to include the following: Describe your city/town’s power grid. Describe the environmental impacts associated with your city’s/town’s power source. Compare the alternative energy sources based on their feasibility and environmental impact. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative energy source in the context of your city/town. Consider factors like availability, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and environmental sustainability. Select and justify the best alternative energy source for your city. Based on your research and evaluation, propose the alternative energy source that you believe would be the most suitable for your city. Justify your choice with evidence and logical reasoning. Address potential challenges in implementing the chosen alternative energy source. Consider practical challenges, such as infrastructure requirements, economic considerations, and public acceptance, which may arise during the implementation of the chosen alternative. Offer potential solutions or mitigation strategies. Requirements Your submission should be 750-1000 words. Ensure that all information is presented clearly and legibly, with a font size of 12. Your submission should be in the .docx file format, which can be created using applications such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word and saved as a .docx file.
