Howard Energy Plan
Every country needs to have a good energy plan which will help reduce the level of air pollution which is majorly caused by the fossil fuels used by many machines such as vehicles (Araya). Therefore, having a good energy plan should be given a priority for Howard County since their future environment is at stake. The paper explores an energy plan which the county needs to adopt in order to prevent the negative impact of climate change.
A decent and continuance energy plan for Howard
Before embarking good energy plan, the Howard County government need to evaluate the cost of the plan and then compare it with the impact. A good energy plan which Howard county needs to have in the next five to ten years assuming there will be an increase in the number of people, vehicles, and buildings is the adoption of the renewable source of energy such rooftop solar and both onshore and offshore wind power. Rooftop solar provides a suitable alternative since it does not compete with the other uses of land (Zalk and Paul 1). One only needs to have it installed on the roof of an already erected building. Similarly, the use of offshore wind to generate power avoids the competition of land use since the power plant will be constructed in water bodies. Onshore wind power also allows a safe coexistence since where the power plants are built other activities such as farming or building of roads can take place.
