Unfortunately, our challenge 5 didn't submit properly. As you can see, we have our PowerPoint presentation and our graphs but our summary for our graphs is missing. Therefore, I'll just post our summary here so everyone can have a better understanding for our tables!

The above figures are based on figures provided by Royal Academy of Engineering in England and the Government of British Columbia. It also takes into consideration the relative reduction in capital (equipment) costs as technologies improve and become more widespread by 2025. The reason for choosing and allocating such amounts of electricity production are based primarily on cost, sustainability and reliability of each source. Given Vancouver Islands geographical location, we felt that both wind and wave can play a vital role in the production of electricity. Both of these sources are fairly cheap in regards to the raw material itself, the primary cost in both cases would be the capital cost incurred in setting up the respective equipment for both types. Geothermal energy can also be tapped into in the mountainous region of Vancouver Island. Furthermore, the conservation of energy and simply using it more efficiently can also play a role in making more electricity available for the Island. Both wind and tidal energy are renewable sources for producing energy. Furthermore, neither of these sources produces any type of air or water pollution. Both resources allow for the production of electricity without contributing to global warming as they don’t produce any wastes or greenhouse gasses. We also feel with the improvement in technology for alternative sources of energy and consuming energy will also play a drastic role in these methods becoming more widespread in various parts of the province where such resources are available.

A clean job in power point. Some solid research. :)

You made some good choices, and did some good research. Your slides were relevant, easy to read and gave a concise and clear summary of important issues. Tidal energy and wave energy are still fairly new technologies, especially in BC, but you are correct in saying that the costs will come down as the technology improves. I'm not sure but I don't think geothermal energy on Vancouver Island is likely to be developed very soon, if at all. I have some concern about the reliability of your choices, since the wind is not always strong enough and tidal energy is predictable but not always at its peak. More information about why you didn't choose run of river or the other choices would be interesting.
