Sustainable Futures

You will be
completing a research proposal form pertaining to the topic of Sustainable Futures. I have already conducted som
background research and found some sources that you may want to use. The proposal form will arch around the
question "Should alternative energy replace fossil fuels?" The perspectives of this question are, "alternative energ
should replace fossil fuels (PRO)," and "alternative energy should not replace fossil fuels (CON)." You should
approach these perspectives through multiple lenses (economic, environmental, technology, science, politics, etc
On the PRO side (with your own research and the sources I provide) you can describe how experts claim that fos
fuels damage the environment and alternative energy is clean. You can also describe the efficiency of alternative
energy and whatever else you come across that argues in favor of alternative energy and/or against fossil fuels. F
the CON side, you can discuss how experts believe that fossil fuels are more efficient or that alternative energy is
costly or whatever else you come across that argues against alternative energy and/or for fossil fuels. Please
NOTE: For any sources that you find, it must be reputable and must be within the last 2 years (2018-present). Litt
to no plagiarism, please! If you have any questions please let me know!
