Imagine new ways to meet our energy needs and maintain a healthy planet.

Every day we plug in and power up, thanks to electricity. We use electricity in hundreds of ways—to warm and cool our homes, charge our phones, light our streets, run our computers, and even cook our food. It takes energy to make electricity. In fact, about 40% of the total energy consumed in the U.S. is used to generate electricity. Most of this electricity is generated by large power plants. These plants use many fuels to make electricity—but over 60% of electricity is generated from fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas. In a world in which fossil fuels are running out and in which climate change is a growing concern, we need to find new ways to generate electric power.

Your future city will likely rely on multiple sources of energy to generate electric power. Choose one alternative energy source and design a way to generate electric power for your city that does not deplete natural resources and has limited impact on the environment.

To drive every paved road in the country, it would take someone travelling a constant 55 mph just over 12 years to encompass them all.
