Texas Energy Research project

Energy Research Project:  http://texasenergy.wikispaces.com/
We are starting a research project on Energy Resources. I think you will find this to be exciting and interesting because this is a current event. You will be assigned an engineer role to research one renewable energy source and one nonrenewable energy source; filling out the fact sheet as you research your resources. Then you will combine with other engineers to share research in order to create a poster for your research. Later we will use this information to debate the advantages and disadvantages of various energy resources.
