3. Problem
Currently, energy consumption on a global level is growing exponentially, and the growth does not appear to flat line anytime soon. So how are we to account for our growth in the long run in a responsible way?
We know how to control finite resources, but when it comes to renewable resources we can’t implement them on a large scale and in a cost effective way.
Renewable energy can only go so far. AC

4. Terawatt challenge
We read a paper by Nobel Laureate Richard E . Smalley about energy consumption of the future, and his question was, “How are going to meet those demands while taking into account the environment ?”

5. Terawatt challenge
EG-smalley picture, terawatt challenge, estimation for 2050-b/c this is what you are challenging with your prediction; this is why you are looking at energy consumption

6. Factors that play into energy demand
Population
GDP
Level of development for a country.
Lifestyle AC

7. Making our own predictions
We collected data from for GDP, population, and energy usage
Using Excel we made future predictions up to 2050
We observed that as population increases so should energy usage.
We observed that when there is little growth in population, GDP doesn’t have much of an impact on energy usage.
We realized that a country with high population growth but little growth in GDP has lower growth in energy consumption. EG

13. There is no single solution to the energy crisis problem.
Conclusion
There is no single solution to the energy crisis problem.
We are all going to have to do our part, by making little changes in our life.
Advancements in energy technologies

So far we are heading down the right path, but we can do more.

Takeaway experiences
Suitable software
Gained knowledge regarding research.
Adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
Time management skills
AC-divide into what was gained and what could be done better if you had more time; limit bullets to one or two words

15. Aesthetics of the E-bike
Future work
Market E-bikes
Improve efficiency
Aesthetics of the E-bike
Predict trends for the entire world, and take other factors like CO2 emissions into account. AC
