Step 1 Define the Problem
Step 2 Gather the Evidence
Step 3 Identify the Causes
Step 4 Examine Existing policy
Step 5 Develop Solutions
Step 6 Select the Best Solution
Examples
• The next two slides are examples of Causes and
Solutions as taken from the PPA
• Your slides may use two different steps from the
PPA that address the Aspect or Topic you have
chosen
• Like: Step 1 Define the Problem or
Step 4 Examine Existing policy
Identify the Causes
• Causes
Use the resources list or your own
to clearly state causes of the problem
Worksheet 3
Examples for gas
Explosive
Transportation/shipping/piping costs
Toxic if accidentally released (without burning)
Water supply at risk of pollution
Select the Best Solutions
• Solutions
Worksheet 6
List some solutions or alternatives
Examples for gas
• Wind Energy: Generates electricity by using the wind.
• Geothermal: Generates electricity from steam produced by
water heated within the earth.
• Hydrogen Energy: Use flowing water to generates electricity.
• Bio Energy: Use biomass (plant materials, landfill or animal waste)
to produce heat or electricity.
• Ocean Energy:
Wave Energy
Tidal Energy
Thermal energy conversion

Solutions
Recommended alternatives to using gas as a resource:
Wind Energy: Generates electricity by using the wind.
Geothermal: Generates electricity from steam produced by
water heated within the earth.
Hydrogen Energy: Use flowing water to generates electricity.
Bio Energy: Use biomass (plant materials, landfill or animal waste) to
produce heat or electricity.
Ocean Energy:
Wave Energy
Tidal Energy
Thermal energy conversion
Conclusions
Recommendations for the Future
Here you and your partner(s) make your concluding statement
For Example:
The ongoing debate over hydraulic fracturing for
natural gas boils down to: energy companies want to
drill, while people concerned about drinking water
supplies and the effects of drilling chemicals on
human health do not.
