I need to get a good grade in this assignment
students may partner on and submit the same paper, if they choose. If they do partner, each should submit the paper separately, but the names of both should appear on each submission.
Papers must be submitted as a Word Document, and will only be accepted on Brightspace. No hard copies OR EMAILED COPIES will be accepted.
Artificial intelligence written papers are often characterized by fake references (technical term: hallucinations) and plagiarized texts. Both are easy to detect; either flaw could seriously harm you if you tried to use the paper as a sample of your work to get a job or for admission to a graduate school program. You should check your own paper for (inadvertent) plagiarism before submitting it. Checking for fake references is easy; simply search for the reference on Google.
The topic for the term paper: Will next generation geothermal energy (enhanced geothermal and closed loop geothermal) fill a major part of the gap in wind and solar energy, essentially solving the intermittency problem of renewable energy?
This is the only topic permitted for the term paper. A paper on any other topic, no matter the quality of the paper, will receive the grade of D.
Structure of the paper:
An introduction, of no more than a page, should have a heading in bold, Introduction. It should say what you will be writing about. Then, in the first part of your paper, which should have the heading in bold, Part I, you should discuss the drivers of the renewable energy investment story that we have reviewed in class, and any others that you think are significant. We have discussed, or will discuss, in class the following drivers. Each must be discussed under an individual subheading, in bold:
–global warming (also called climate change). You must use, at a minimum, the IPCC (AR6) as the reference for thiswithout this reference, the maximum grade on the paper is C, and you must use the IPCC paper (AR6) itself, not a secondary source that cites it;
–comparative costs of renewable and fossil fuel technologies;
–the amount of money likely to be in play;
–energy independence in the name of national defense;
–pollution, obviously one of the main drivers for getting out of oil, and its role in pushing investment into renewable energy.
–government regulationsworldwide: In the US, Trumps reduction or elimination of provisions of Bidens inflation Reduction Act; state/regional, or municipal laws which may counter Trumps actions; international agreements, such as that of Cop 21–including taxes, subsidies and tariffs which may favor (or disadvantage) investment in renewable energy; policies in the EU, the UK and China.
–the element of belief, sometimes called dreams, in major investment shifts; the current AI bubble, discussed in class and documented in the course documents, is a perfect example.
–the potential role of millions of electric car owners as a lobbying force to shift the world into renewable energy.
In the next part of your paper, which must have the heading in bold, Part II, you should explain the reasons why you think that next generation geothermal energy will or will not largely fill the gap in wind and solar energy, thus solving a major part, perhaps the major part, of the intermittency problem of renewable energy.
You should discuss:
–the two types of next generation geothermal: enhanced geothermal and closed loop geothermal
–the major companies in the industry;
–the costs of next generation geothermal projects;
–the major investors in them;
–their potential to produce electricity;
–their potential to produce usable heat;
–the pollution and earthquake problems associated with the different types of next generation geothermal;
–the political forces for and against next generation geothermal;
–the national security issues, if any;
–the time to build themfrom proposals to completed construction;
–possible alternative renewable energy technologies that could make them unnecessary.
Your paper must be fully documented using footnotes, and only footnotes, with citations for specific claims. Papers without full documentation will receive a very low grade. To see examples of the correct footnote form, simply look at any Wikipedia entry. Wikipedia puts the notes as endnotes; you should use the same form, but put the notes as footnotesat the bottom of each page.
Also, if you simply add footnotes to a paper that uses some other system of references, the paper will receive a very low grade. Your paper must contain no other system of references.
You must include a work cited page. Papers without this will receive a low grade.
The documents in the Course Documents section are there simply to help you. You are NOT restricted to them. The only required document is the IPCC report (AR6).
Under no circumstances should you infringe the copyright on published material. Setting aside all ethical issues, it is now fully detectable using the internet. So Brooklyn Colleges strong position on the matter is easy to enforce.
NOTE: No one will get an A in this course without getting an A on this paper. Any other assignments are simply to help you to research this paper. They can help you to get a good grade in the course, but not an A.
