Discuss about renewable energy and how the environment is related to economic

Briefing Paper Overview and Instructions ****(My Major: Economic)**(U can choose any topic in the lists-> Carbon Cycle, Petroleum, Natural Gas, Building Heating Efficiency and Conservation, Electrical Efficiency, Ethanol:Biomass Biological Conversion. Biodiesel and other Renewable Liquid Fuels, Future of Biofuels, Algae as Biofuel, wood to Energy, Hydroelectric Power, Wind:Energy Technology, and Wind:Economics and policy.)***

Overview: During this course we only scratch the surface of many important topics. The theme paper requires you to go deeper into one of the topics or subtopics from the course and tell us what you learned. The goal of this research paper is to have you present in-depth information on a topic related to energy. This paper is not a persuasive paper or first-person narrative of your actions or thoughts. Consider this a formal research paper and treat it as such. For examples of high-quality papers, see the theme paper block 31. For more information on writing techniques and citations, see page 10 of the syllabus.
You are encouraged to pick a topic that is related to your major. For instance, if you are in a policy major, your theme paper might focus on some policy aspect of a course topic. If you are in business, your paper might focus on the business or economic aspect of energy. If you are in marketing, your paper might focus on some marketing issue related to renewable energy. If you are in dentistry – well, dentists use energy also. Math majors – the world is math there is a connection to energy. There is no major or field of interest that does not have some tie to this course. If you have not yet chosen a major, no worries, think about what major or field you are slightly interested and write about that.
Here are some things that may help you think about energy as it relates to your major:

•Where is the bulk of the energy being used in your field?
•What are some things (technologies or practices) being done to change or reduce energy use?
•Are there some start-up businesses that are helping to change or reduce energy use?
•What is driving the change? (Is it policies? Economics? Consumers?)
•What are some of the road blocks to adapting changes in energy use?

Objective: Develop an awareness of how your chosen career passion and interest relates to energy. We all don’t have to specialize in renewable energy, but everything you do has a connection to energy. We need you to explore this.
Audience: Communication is most effective when you have a specific audience in mind. For this assignment your audience is either peers in your major or field, your parents, or some other mentor. You are writing to inform them of all the cool things going on that connect your major to energy!
Required Structural Elements and Organization2

Word Count:
We estimate it will take you at least 2000 words to do a good job with this paper. It is possible to do well with fewer words. You are welcome also to use more but sometimes we get bored if the paper is too long. Papers with less than 1200 words will not be accepted.
You must use the ALL of the following headers in your briefing paper.

Cover Page (10 pts)
• Paper title, your name, your major, date
• Your audience
• 1-3 sentence overview or summary of your topic

Executive Summary (10 pts)
This one or two paragraph section should summarize your findings. It should be written as a stand-alone document. (That means if someone read it and did not read the rest of your paper, they would have some understanding of your topic.)
The executive summary should be on its own page, and be placed right after the cover page.

Introduction and Background: (10 pts)
Provide a brief introduction to the issue and tell us why it is important to your field or chosen major. Provide background and context for the reader to understand the issue. Likely you will be summarizing some energy issue that needs to be addressed. (This is a section where you will likely need citations.)

Discussion of the issue: (25 pts)
Go into more depth about the particulars of what your topic. What are those technologies or practices that are being implemented? Likely you will have some examples in this section about real things going on and the impact it is having. Try to quantify as much as you can. Is the practice resulting in major energy savings? What is driving the change? (This is a section where you will likely need citations.)

Future Prediction: (15 pts)
Now, from your perspective, do you think what you wrote about and described will be common in the next 5-10 years? What roadblocks might be out there for these changes? Will there be other changes? What do you base your predictions on? 3

Bibliography (10 pts)
The final section of your paper must include the references used in your paper.
Use at least three sources for your work. You can use more. Use any citation style you wish (see page 5 for guidance on citations). But you MUST use a specific style. If you simply provide us with web links to your source you will lose most of your 10 points.
You are encouraged to use peer reviewed journal articles, books, and government sources for the main sources for your paper. Avoid the use of popular press articles such as magazines and newspapers. You can use information from “advocate groups” or nonreliable sources, but only
to describe their position on the issue. Don’t use these sources to provide key facts about your
issue. (We reserve the right to deduct points if nonreliable sources are used incorrectly.) You can use web-based sources, as long as they are from a reputable source, such as a
government entity. Make certain that you use a document or report, and not just a general page
from their website. Remember to cite properly, don’t just provide a web URL.
Citing Sources
You can use MLA, APA, Chicago or other citation styles that you choose. No matter which you choose, make sure to stay consistent and follow the guidelines for that style.

Writing Quality (20 pts)
We reserve 20 points based on the quality of your writing. Quality of writing includes:
• Proper spelling, sentence structure and punctuation.
• Use of required headings.
• Paper flows well between sections and is easy to follow and read.
• Layout makes sense and is professional and clear.
