We know that carbon emissions are primarily responsible for global warming and climate change; however, we have highly efficient renewable technologies at our disposal that deliver electricity at cheaper rates than coal or gas power plants, so why aren't they being deployed on a broader scale? In this case study, we will understand the multitude of factors that go into deciding what energy generation methods we use. The results of this case study are very open-ended and dependent on the location being considered; however, we will conduct a fruitful debate to decide the best action moving forward. Data-driven statistics will aid our decision-making process and should clear up any hesitance or doubts.
