Option #2: Globalization Assignment: Electrical Grid Comparative Contrast
Energy plays an important role in many aspects of our lives. For example, we use electricity for lighting and cooling. We use fuel for transportation, heating, and cooking. Our energy production and use is interconnected with many other aspects of modern life, such as water consumption, use of goods and services, transportation, economic growth, land use, and population growth. Make an argument on how to support the growing demands for energy consumption in the United States.
Also, conduct internet research on the topic of comparing and contrasting the electrical grid system in the United States with the electrical grid system from another industrialized nation. What lessons could be learned from this international perspective on best practices from around the globe in this area of infrastructure protection?
