Energy Debate 2015


Energy Debate
Room 35

The Puget Sound is growing so fast that we absolutely need to find a new source of energy or we will all be in the dark soon.  What shall we do?

Wind power?
Oil/Natural Gas power plant? 
Nuclear Power Plant? 
Geothermal plant at Mount Rainier? New dams for hydroelectricity?
Solar panels on houses and businesses?
Coal-burning plant?

Before we decide, we need to learn about the pros and cons of each, debate the issues, and only then vote. This decision will shape our region for years to come!
