Q Include your answers to the Energy Laboratory questions and submit this file. Managing Resources – Part 1 1. (2 pts.) Were you able to meet demand and keep CO2 levels below 550 ppm? Which energy source was adjusted the most? 2. (3 pts.) Did you deplete any sources? How much of a difference was there between the initial mix of fossil fuels and the final mix?3. (3 pts.) Which approach met both energy needs and successfully limited CO2 production? Is it realistic to assume we will be using this type of energy mix?4. (3 pts.) Did you deplete any sources in either model? Which source increased the most overall and what kinds of effects would increasing this source's use have on both the standard of living and different biomes?5. (3 pts.) Thinking about what you now know of resources, demographics, energy needs/demands, the environment, and your own way of living, which set of parameters (in terms of efficiency and carbon capture) would be most realistic? Can increasing efficiency and carbon capture be done without the government requiring changes in the same way mileage standards are set for motor vehicles?
