Discussion Questions for Lecture 19, Chpt 13, Energy, (a)

 

Please do some basic Internet research to find out about your assigned topic below. You will be asked to summarize what you found in class. I will call on several students for each question with each student adding to what the previous said, and may have left out. This should be interesting and enjoyable for each group to hear what the other groups found on this important topic and potential setback for solar energy.

 

 

Students with last names beginning with A through E: California's Renewable Energy Buydown Program

 

 

Students with last names beginning with F through L:  California’s Net Metering Program

 

Students with last names beginning with M through Z:  California’s Proposed solar tax equivalent, known as “exit fees”

 

NOTE: today in class I forgot to hand out a numerical example of the energy equation on page 256. While it appears complex, I believe my example should help demystify it.
