Energy Planning Proposal

Project: Alternative Energy Organization: City of Seattle, Washington Requestor/Sponsor: MAYORS NAME City of Seattle Mayor

Description of Request: Develop and implement an Alternative Energy Plan for City of Seattle. The potential stakeholders include small business owners, Fortune 500 companies including Apple, Boeing, Amazon, and numerous other large scale industries. The bases around the Seattle-Tacoma area host vital capabilities toward the nation's defense from all branches of service. Service members and their families will benefit from a safe and efficient source of energy that will be cost efficient and safe for all residents. ("Welcome To The Beautiful Pacific Northwest", 2013) Approximately 850,000 residents will be supported by the new Alternative Energy Plan.

Background of Request: The stakeholders are people who are interested in making money to benefit the company. In Seattle, everyone likes to complain about how hot it gets in the summer and how cold it gets in the winter. And we laugh at how the rest of the country thinks that it rains all the time here, right up until November, when it is raining all the time. But what does that mean for energy efficiency? The basis for this Alternative Energy Plan is to ensure that the City of Seattle can resolve the issues of cost, safety, efficiency and conservation.

Resources: In 2013, the Alternative Energy Plan will be supplied from four resources: Geothermal Energy from the Raft River project in Idaho. Water heated deep in the earth's crust is pumped up and used to heat a "binary liquid" which forms a gas at lower temperatures than water. As this vapor expands, it spins a turbine which generates electricity. ("Seattle City Light/Seattle Green Power", 2013) Biogas

    Although we were a little more focused on shooting par this past weekend rather than the company, our recent meeting regarding the issue of maximizing energy efficiency has interested me into researching wind turbines and other sustainable practices. As a manager and colleague, I believe it is not in the company’s best interest investing into wind turbines at this time and also due to Carbondale’s low average wind speed. However, I believe there are alternative energy-saving options that could be implemented to lessen Groggs peak energy expenses and specifically reduce the company’s dependence on coal. Nowadays, many businesses are starting to focus more and more on environmental sustainability and implementing such practices would allow Groggs Peak to improve its commitment to corporate social responsibility while bettering customer loyalty. After conducting some research, I am excited to share my findings and alternative benefits for your proposal.…

    The best place to start my quest would be in my own home located in Baltimore City Maryland. Our energy supplier is Baltimore Gas & Electric Company. Our home is over 50 years old, but has had some modern upgrades, such as a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC). This system is fueled by both renewable (electric) and nonrenewable (natural gas) energy. Without some energy saving protocols in place, it can be rather costly to operate this system. For example, the price charged per natural gas Therm is…

    Every resident in this community is reliant on outside sources that use non-renewable resources for power and to clean our water. Every day the resources used are depleted and will eventually run out; in the meantime we set idly by and watch prices escalate. Fossil fuels emit many pollutants (EPA, 2008) into the air and encourage global warming. Those outside sources subject this community to rate increases and dependency on weather conditions. Renewable energy is found in many forms, generated by the earth. Effectively harnessing these energies will reduce gas emissions (EPA, 2008.)…

    Energy is very important, especially for the people of the United States. It has become an integral part of our lives and we have grown dependent on it. Therein lies the problem, however, because the more we use it, the less there is. We have to find alternative forms of energy before it is gone and we are left high and dry. Not only is our sources decreasing, it is also polluting our beautiful world. Reducing the use of energy and finding alternatives is our only choice when considering the future of America. Cheap gas may sound great right now but once it is gone, it is gone for good. We cannot be selfish and only think of the now, we must look to the future and preserve our resources so that our grandkids will have a good life. We have made…
