Research papper on sustainable electricity generation

  

Sustainable Electricity Generation 

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015, has 17 Sustainable Development Goals. https://sdgs.un.org/goals  Goal #7 is “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”. https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal7  

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. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/code-ethics . 

Fill-in-blank options for “A” = location, like: San Antonio, Texas, Hawaii, California, United States, Mexico, China, Europe, Germany, France, Japan, Africa, Russia, etc. 

Fill-in-blank options for “B” = method of generation, like coal, oil, natural gas, wind, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, etc. 

The report should be written using ASME paper template:
