Energy Lesson 4 : Non-Renewable Energy Choices and Impacts

The energy choices we make, whether as individuals or as a state or nation, have consequences.

There is no single universal “best” energy resource. Each energy resource, whether renewable or non- renewable, has different positive and negative attributes that must be analyzed and evaluated.

The key resources for this lesson are the energy descriptions. Each page has three paragraphs, roughly focused on what the resource is and how it works, what its advantages are as a power source in Michigan, and what its disadvantages are. Most descriptions include a Michigan example.
