Gaby - Project One Ideas

For my project I want to explore the future of renewable energy sources. I think it is easy for many people, especially my generation to feel discouraged and powerless in the face of global climate change and how we can play a role in it, but in my research I found information that seemed to shine a light on the possibilities. A large percent of energy in the U.S. could be powered entirely by sources like wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, biopower, geothermal, and hydropower by the year 2050. In my composite images I want to envision what that future could look like as these sort of technologies become widely used. For example, I became very interested in algae farming as a means of bioenergy. When discussing current issues facing our society, it can be overwhelming and disheartening, but I hope that my project provides some inspiration and motivation to continue being engaged in these issues.
