Greenhouse gases and our choices

Agreements like the Paris Accord call on Canada to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide gases we emit. There are many who fear that the build up of CO2 is causing the world to warm and will, in time, cause irreparable problems. 
(Whether you agree with global warming theory or not, you are trying to convince citizens who do buy into it so you need to take it into account.)

Your challenge is to pick one of the forms of energy listed below and create a poster advertising why our next power plant should be built using that technology. 
You are trying to keep costs down, after all, someone has to pay for it and no one wants to pay more electricity than they can get away with.
You are also trying to come up with the cleanest, most environmentally friendly technology that you can. Remember, CO2 is not the only way we can damage the earth. When Genesis 1:28 calls us to "fill the earth and subdue it" that involves thinking about all the effects we have on the earth.
  1. Hydro dams
  2. Solar panels
  3. Wind turbines
  4. Nuclear
  5. Natural gas


  • The poster should, naturally, be colorful, and tidy. Lettering should be clear and legible.
  • There should be five or six major points, with half being in favor of the form of energy that you choose and half opposing it.
  • There should be a final point in which you draw a final conclusion as to why this is the best form of energy to supply our needs.
