1. Essential Question: How do we create low-cost "Green" energy resource(s)? Investigation Question: How do we determine if an energy source is economical?
Investigation 1 Claims:
Cost-Benefit Analysis allows a business to assess the success of a resource. The higher the EROI value, the more cost effective the energy source. The rise and fall of the EROI value can affect the GDP.
Terms of Use:
Cost-Benefit Analysis, Estimated Return of Investment (EROI), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Fossil Fuels, Renewable energy

2. How do we determine if an energy source is economical?

5. Investigation Question: How do we determine if an energy source is economical?
Claims:
Cost-Benefit Analysis allows a business to assess the success of a resource. The higher the EROI value, the more cost effective the energy source. The rise and fall of the EROI value can affect the GDF.
Justification: The claim is supported by evidence because…
