Blog #6
Imagine that you won the lottery and you were able to buy 1000 acres of land! It has a lot of sunny, open spaces and some canyons that seem to capture a lot of wind. You have also discovered that you have untapped natural gas reservoirs underneath several acres of the sunny, open space. In addition, you have found a large cave full of coal but extracting it will contaminate the huge fishing pond on the property. Pick the one energy source that you would construct and use, and explain why using terms like power density, cost and pollution.
