Energy Games

We need energy to live. We need energy to work. We need energy, period. It comes from different sources. Not all sources are created equal. One source in one location, can provide more than enough energy safely for a population whereas, in another location, that same source may not be enough or may be unsafe. For example, it is a bad idea to build a nuclear power plant or oil drilling waste disposal/fracking wells on an active fault line. Similarly, solar plant at the South Pole would provide little energy during its winter and wind farms only work in certain windy locations, preferably far away from major bird migration corridors. Check out this game to learn about some of these tradeoffs between energy sources.
