Exercise 7

Do a study of energy use at your school. Try to determine how the electricity used by the school is generated. If it comes from more than one source (such as coal-fired, gasfired, or nuclear power plants, and wind farms), determine or estimate the percentages of the total for the various sources. Similarly, determine how buildings are heated, how water is heated, and how vehicles are powered. Write a report summarizing your findings.
