When you use electricity in your home, which resources are powering it? Research the energy resources used to power your state’s
electrical grid (that’s what supplies your home with electricity). In the space below or on a separate sheet of paper, create an informative handout to provide to the people of your state. Include the following information in your handout:
• Which state do you live in?
• What is the population of your state?
• What percent of the electricity in your state comes from
nonrenewable resources?
• What percent of the electricity in your state comes from
renewable resources?
• What percent of the electricity in your state comes from
nuclear energy?
• Which renewable resource is used the most in your state?
• What is an interesting fact about energy usage in your state?
