POL310 POL/310 POL 310 WEEK 3 DISCUSSION 2/DQ 2 Energy {{LATEST}} Energy is the lifeblood of a modern
world. Energy powers our homes, our businesses, and our economy. However, energy is not free or easily acquired in
many parts of the world. Most energy sources require extraction, transportation, and refinement before it is usable in our
contemporary economies. Fortunately, we have two very important categories of energy, one non-renewable and one
renewable. You are probably much more familiar with the non-renewable sources of energy that traditionally include oil,
gas, and coal. These sources are very important but they are also problematic from many aspects to include
environmental, economic, and health concerns. As a result, energy experts are now focused on new sources of energy
from renewable sources that are less problematic, especially from an environmental aspect. Identify three different
renewable energy sources to discuss. First, describe one economic, one political, and one environmental challenge
associated with each energy source. Second, compare supply side and demand side issues related to each source.
Third, describe one potential future economic, one political, and one environmental challenge for each source. Then,
predict what has to happen in order to make renewable energy the major energy source for Americans in the next 50
years.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s)
and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your
classmates posts by Day 7. Compare and contrast your classmates response relating to what they think has to happen
in order to make renewable energy resources a major energy provider in the next 50 years with your own thoughts on
this issue. Have you focused on the same or different energy supply/demand challenges when formulating your
responses?
