DemandDemand

• People would want a cleaner, safer, and more dependable source of energy.

• People would want to save more money on energy, and at the same time, they would like to cause less harm to our environment by using more alternative energy sources.

Our Plan

• The plan is to use natural gas as our main source, and use solar and wind power as our two main alternative sources. We choose natural gas because its cleaner than other fossil fuels.

Our Plan Part 2

We will need better factories that use the natural gas wisely, and for the best result. The other technology we need is have better solar panels that gets more light and makes more electricity. For the other source we need more lighter and cheaper wind mills so wind can push it faster and so we can have more mills with less money.

Our Plan Part 3

The plan can be easily modified if needed. Making the future requirements easier to manage. Also, the plan will evolve to make using energy more easier and faster in time.

The cost will be as minimum as possible by using natural gas as our main source. This is because using natural gas is faster, cheaper but in the same time more efficient and safer. Also, using solar and wind is cheaper to build than other sources.

Our plan part 4

• We will have some problems to accomplish this plan. One of them is making workers come to Houston, and making them stay. The other one is to find money to successfully accomplish the plan, but afterward the income will be greater than the cost. Making the plan efficient, and helping us make Houston stay the capital of energy.

Our plan part 5

We will supply more energy making the prices go down.

The best way to use natural gas is by using a small amount as needed, but not using it carelessly.

Also, the third way of using the alternatives is storing the electricity in batteries, and using it when needed, and using it when the weather is in our favor. This will help us use these sources more efficiently

3rd Plan

• This third plan is to make more public parks. This will give families more places to have picnics or family reunions in the weekends, and in the same time reduce our carbon footprint.

Industries

The three main industries are energy, tourism, and transportation.

We will need employees that know how to use energy, and manage the factories efficiently.

Also, the jobs and new factories will give the city have a better income, and a more stable dependency and economy.

Energy,Transportation, and Tourism

In the energy industry we will make the factories have stricter emission of CO2. The second change is to manage it more environmentally friendly, but in the same time more profitable.

In transportation industry is supplying more buses, and workers. Giving jobs to workers.

In tourism, we will have museums of energy. This will make the community know the importance of energy.
