Casebook

In my research essay will be about the different types of renewable energy and finding

different types to replace nonrenewable energy. It would go over the different type of renewable

energy, why we need to replace non-renewable energy and the best types of energy for replacing

different task.

Department of Energy. “Energy Sources” The Department of Energy, March 2018,

https://www.energy.gov/science-innovation/energy-sources

This was written by multiple people and does not list authors. It was updated in March of

2018 and appeared on energy.gov. The main point of the website is to go over the different types

of energy and how they work. The website talks about fossil fuel, electric power, energy storage,

and hydrogen fuel cells. It allows you to go into more detail of each as well. The website was

written to inform others about the different types of energy and how it works. This site does not

have a listed author but is a credible source because it is a government supported. I will use this

source to provide information on the different types of energy.

This article was written by Greentumbumble on March 26, 2017, and wasw posted onto

there website. The articles main points were the environmental impacts of non-renewable energy,

what would happen if the non-renewable energy ran out and the callengenges of a way to low

carbon economy. I find this article is credible because it was written by environments. I will use

this for gathering information on the subject.

Harvey Chelsea. “Changes to Energy Dept. websites downplay renewables as a replacement for

fossil fuels” The Washington Post, April 21, 2017

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/04/21/the-energy-

department-is-changing-its-website-to-reflect-trumps-climate-

agenda/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a37337f1de86

This article was written by Chelsea Harvey on April 21, 2017, and was on The

Washington Post. The main point of the article was talking about how changes have caused

renewable energy to be downplayed. That is not all the article talked about though it also talked

about the different types of renewable energy and why it was being downplayed. This article

author is credible because she is an author that has written lots of articles for the Washington

post and specializes in environmental health and policy. I will use this article to support my

argument.

Whitlock Robin. “A Route Into Renewable Energy: An interview with Michael Brownell of

Pyke Toni” Renewable energy Development, 12 April 2017,

This article was written by Toni Pyke on April 12, 2017, and was posted on development

education.ie. The article talks about fossil fules, renewables, issues, and then debates about each.

The debate over the different types of energy as a replacement and how effective they would be.

This is a credible source because it sources that seem to know what they are doing and they are

completely ad-free. I will be using this source for counter arguments for my essay and for

support for my claim.

McLamb Eric. “Fossil Fuels vs. Renewable Energy Resources” Ecology, September 6, 2011

http://www.ecology.com/2011/09/06/fossil-fuels-renewable-energy-resources

This article was written by Eric Mclamb on September 6, 2011, and was posted on the

Ecology website. The article talks about how the increasing global energy needs, the article also

talks about alternative energy, the fossil fuel deilima, other energy source and Future Supplies

for Future Energy. The article talks heavily on finding new sources of energy other than fossil

fuels which we are slowly running out of. The author McLamb is credible because he has written

several articles on this subject and seems to be very well informed about what he is writing. I

will use this article to help pull information for my argument and use it as a source to use as a

reference for what I would like to do.

This article was written by Robin White on April 17, 2014, and was posted on the

renewable energy magazine. This interview is an with Michael Brownell the owner of Dayaway

Careers which is a specialist recruitment company. They talk about alternative energy, a shortage

of jobs in alternative energy and ore on the topic of energy. This article is a retail source because

it is an interview with a company leader who is known for working with this topic. I will be

using this article to pull so information off of and use to help disprove a counter-argument.

sectionn is to go over the different types of non-energy and how it is made. The website talks

about fossil fuel, electric power, and how natural resource are made. It allows you to get more

info and vocabulary about non-renewable energy. The website was written to inform others

credible source because it is widely used and suporrted. I will use this source to provide

information on non-renewable energy.
