After reviewing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, do research and write a paper entitled: Sustainable Electricity Generation in ___A (fill in the blank)____. You should discuss how electricity is produced by ____B (fill in the blank)_____ methods. Determine the percent contributions of the different types of electricity generation and plans for future generation capability (if future plans can be found, or maybe trends can be identified). For each method of production, summarize environmental, economic, and societal considerations. Summarize the role of an engineer, considering ethical and professional responsibilities.
