Cole's actions
Electricity Generation
Learn More about Micro Wind
#76 Micro Wind
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.
Electricity Generation
Watch a Video about Methane Digesters
#30 Methane Digesters (large), #64 Methane Digesters (small)
I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
Electricity Generation
Learn More about Wave and Tidal Energy
#29 Wave and Tidal
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.
Electricity Generation
Learn More About Geothermal Energy
#18 Geothermal
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.
Electricity Generation
Communicate With My Elected Officials
#2 Wind Turbines (Onshore)
I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
Electricity Generation
Learn More about Biomass
#34 Biomass
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationWhat did you learn about wave and tidal energy? Were you surprised by the information you found?
Cole Strombeck 4/06/2018 1:18 PMI learned that wave energy potential is measured in kW per "unit" (a unit being a wave energy generator). It is currently being studied in the great lakes but has not yet proven to be a sustainable energy resource because the cost per unit is still very high.
