Use the data from your spreadsheet to solve the following problem:
You have been hired by the department of energy. They would like a recommendation for future research and development of energy sources for public use.
In your 3 paragraph recommendation, include the type of energy resource you feel should be used and developed in the future and at least 3 reasons why.

Vocabulary and Definitions:

1. fission -An atom's nucleus can be split apart. When this is done, a tremendous amount of energy is released. The energy is both heat and light energy. This energy, when let out slowly, can be harnessed to generate electricity. When it is let out all at once, it makes a tremendous explosion in an atomic bomb. The word fission means to split apart.

2. fusion -Fusion means joining smaller nuclei (the plural of nucleus) to make a larger nucleus. The sun uses nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This gives off heat and light and other radiation.

3. fossil fuel - fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, that were formed from the fossils of plant and animal life
