Research Topic: An online teaching tool on the tradeoffs of energy

 

The Online Energy Tool's purpose is to provide information on the tradeoffs of energy production methods.  This tool is specific to the state of Texas, and will soon take the form of an interactive website.  The website will use quantitative data and user inputs to produce potential energy schemes for the state of Texas (both instantaneous/current day and future growth).  It will also provide a basic level of information on each production method and fuel for educational purposes.
