Generating energy from renewable sources like solar and wind provides several benefits. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, lessens dependence on imported fossil fuels, and creates new jobs. However, transitioning to renewable energy also presents challenges. Workers in coal mining and other fossil fuel industries may lose their jobs as those sectors decline. This could significantly impact local economies that rely on these industries. Policymakers must implement solutions like retraining programs, job placement assistance, and economic development initiatives to help displaced workers and communities transition successfully to new opportunities in the renewable energy economy.

GRQ – how much does the change to renewable energy impact the economy?

Problems it solves:
Generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces
some types of air pollution. Diversifying energy supply and reducing dependence on
imported fuels. Creating economic development and jobs in manufacturing, installation, and
more.

The most feasible substitute for fossil fuels.

CO2 emissions act like a blanket in the air, trapping heat in the atmosphere, and warming up
the Earth [11]. This layer prevents the Earth from cooling, and thus raises global
temperatures. Global warming would affect environmental conditions, food and water
supplies, weather pattern, and sea levels.

Coal produces more pollution than any other energy source. While coal produces just 44%
of U.S. electricity, it accounts for 80% of power plant carbon emissions. Burning coal leads to
soot, smog, acid rain, global warming, and carbon emissions. It also generates a great deal
of waste, including sludge, toxic chemicals, and heat. Coal pollutes during every stage of the
energy production process, from mining and transportation to storage and burning.

Issue 1 – unemployment

Title: 
Section 1: Introduction 
Why is it important? Why have you chosen it? What are the main “issues” involved with this
question?

What are the main causes and consequences of the “issues”? (Briefly) 
Section 2: Global Perspective 
Global Perspective 1 - a perspective that supports your main argument 
 
Global Perspective 2 - another perspective that supports your main argument 
Global Perspective 3 - a different perspective that contradicts / counter perspective /goes
against your main argument 
Global Perspective 4 - another perspective that contradicts / counter perspective/ goes
against your main argument 
Global Perspective 5 - another perspective that supports your main argument 
During this section you should make comparisons as well as discuss in depth the causes
and consequences of the perspectives / issues 
Section 3: National / local perspective 
National / Local perspective 1 - a perspective that supports your main argument 
National / Local Perspective 2 - a perspective that contradicts / counter perspective /goes
against your main argument 
National / Local Perspective 2 - a perspective that either supports or contradicts / goes
against your main argument 
During this section you may want to compare national / local perspectives to Global
Perspectives. You must also discuss in depth the causes and consequences of the
issues. 
Section 4: Courses of action 
Course of action 1 - plan a practical solution to a global issue / problem... 
Course of action 2 - plan a practical solution to a global issue / problem 
Course of action 3 - plan a practical solution to a global issue / problem 
Course of action 4 - plan a practical solution to a national / local  issue / problem 
Course of action 5 - plan a practical solution to a national / local  issue / problem 
Suggest how likely they are to be successful by comparing to methods being used around
the world. 
Section 5: Source analysis 
Source analysis - evaluate 5 sources you used – why did you choose the source? What is
the credibility/ relevance of the source in the context of the topic/ research 
Section 6: Personal response 
Personal reflection - describe your learning journey, what you have learned, how has your
opinion changed or been reinforced  
Section 7: Conclusion 
Conclusion - answer the question, summarize your findings.
