Task 1: background information on electricity production. • Due Date: 11/20/1998

To be an effective environmental activist one must be well educated on the issues. The issue needs to be known from all viewpoints. This will allow for an effective and informed argument to be developed for the cause.
In this activity you will explore the different ways of electricity production and the effects of that method of production, ranging from pollution to the sustainability of the method of production.
Here are some web sites to explore. Explore these and others until you have enough information to make a decision on what method of production you think is best.
