Right now is a good time to draw outside the lines

ENERGY/POWER vs... Alternative, Renewable Power, Water/Hydro from Rivers and Co generation Plants. Coal, Fossil Fuels, Gas, Diesel. (What powers what? your car? House? Apartment? Building at Work? Around the World, Dig into this topic.)
Hydropower, Solar. Nuclear Gas, Oil
Where does energy come from. 
Canada, The Canadian Population calls "Electricity,"or Power, HYDRO because of NIAGRA FALLS In NewYork and ONTARIO, Canada, because this is where most of their Power to power their infrastructure (Look up this word) and Homes comes from water flowing over this Dam 24/7 365, what does this mean? Discuss.

... Simon Pearce, a man who started a Glass Blowing Factory in an old Yarn producing Factory in Vermont also uses Hydro Power to Power the Family Factory. See Below, this is a field trip you can make one day, they have a beautiful restaurant and you can watch them Blow Glass in their Quichee Vermont Production Facility if you live in the Northeast part of the United States of America.
Also of note, The Simon's Son who was training for the Olympics in Snow Boarding had a Traumatic Brain Injury. His story, The rehabilitation Center, and his foundation has done much to bring knowledge to all about TBI.

of Note. A place I have visited, Block Island, Rhode Island, has the first Offshore Wind Farm in the United States. 

...an added note, I grew up in a family where my Dad's Company piloted (one of a number of Wind Turbines piloted at this time through this Government Program) and implemented a 200' wind turbine in the 1980's on Block Island, RI, with the Department of Energy and NASA. I was a part of watching how alternative energy works and is implemented, funded, and the costs of research+development, and implementation in a real world setting. We also still heat our house where I grew up (and supplementally where I live now) with wood as the primary source of heat.
