Title: Investigate the environmental effects of all energy sources.
Course: Fundamentals of Power Generation (20904-I) > Section: Exploring Environmental Effects in Energy and Power

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?
