Students will explore energy resources for one of three provinces on the Isle of Navitas. They will analyze the benefits, costs, and environmental impacts of each energy source. Students will analyze energy resources for the island and develop an energy policy statement. The policy will recommend an efficient combination of energy sources to provide sufficient power to the province while minimizing environment impacts. Students will apply and use GIS tools and knowledge from past activities to make decisions for the placement of power plants in their province.

Students will write an energy policy statement for their province that is based on the energy needs of their province, available energy sources, and infrastructure for production and distribution. The energy policy should maximize the use of renewable energy sources and minimize environmental impact. Students must justify their combination of energy sources based on benefits, costs, and impact assessments.
