Question Description
INTRODUCTION
Around the world, innovation and technology are leading to new forms of renewable energy. Select one type of renewable energy to research, and create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to explain how technology is being used to develop renewable energy.

PROCEDURE
Select one of the following renewable power technologies to research:
The Norwegian Hammerfest Strom tidal turbine in Orkney, Scotland
The Gorlov helical turbine in South Korea or Maine, USA
Verdant Power's RITE project in New York, USA
Floating solar arrays in Japan
Offshore wind farm in the UK or Germany
Write a three-paragraph summary of the technology. Be sure to include the following:
A description of what the technology is, how it works, and why its location is important
An explanation of how the technology produces energy, including pros and cons of its function
A discussion of the impacts (both positive and negative) on the environment and ecosystems, including a concluding statement
Citations of sources and a note of why each one was a valid and reliable source.
Design a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to accompany the summary. The goal of the PSA is to raise awareness of the technology and encourage public support and use of it. You have probably heard PSAs on the radio or TV or seen billboards with a message such as to quit smoking, not to text and drive, or not to litter.

You can choose from the following types of Public Service Announcements:
A 30-second TV commercial or radio spot (submit a script and actual recording)
An advertisement that would run in a newspaper or magazine
An infographic
A web page or blog
