Energy Analysis

Where does the energy that powers your home originate? Let us find out.

First, go to the EPA Power Profiler (Links to an external site.) website.  

Complete the Power Profiler information. You will be provided with a report showing a breakdown of where your household energy comes from and how this compares to national averages. It will look like this:

-See the grid in attachment-

In your initial post, address the following:

  • Report the region you are in and the percentages of non-hydroelectric renewable, hydroelectric, nuclear, oil, gas, and coal derived energy that are in use.
  • How do these values compare to the national averages?
  • Discuss the differences and similarities between your regional and national values. Factors to consider: Is your area windy? Sunny? On a coast? Does your state have legislation or incentives to increase energy independence? The example above is from the Pittsburgh region, which is a major coal-producer. This is reflected in the fact that this area uses far more coal for energy than the national average.

In your comments, discuss how your area compares in terms of energy usage and share your observations about why certain areas get energy from the sources that they do. Were you surprised by any of the findings?

Non-U.S. residents: You may either choose a region of the U.S. to analyze for your post or discuss the energy sources for your home region based on your own research.

Your initial posting should be 250-500 words
