To-Do - Preparation

Each team should identify one problem to explore jointly

To DO: Argue from your personal perspective Step 1:

• Think about and briefly describe an energy related problem or topic that is PERSONALLY meaningful to members of your group (e.g.: should I buy a Toyota Prius, should I install solar cells on the roof of my house, ……; assumption: your choices will lead to a Long-Tail distribution)
• try to find out whether some relevant information exists (anywhere on the web) about YOUR problem

To-Do

Step 2: visit the website “OpenEI”

• http://energy.gov/news2009/8381.htm
• http://en.openei.org/wiki/Main_Page

• Can you locate any relevant information about YOUR problem in OpenEI? Describe what you find there.
• What it would take for you to contribute information (which you may have found in step 1) to this site and what would motivate you to do so!

Create Your Response

To create your response, you should first choose a name for it (it's a good idea to have your group-name in the name)
