90 POINTS FOR A SCIENCE PROJECT For this assignment, you will research two land resources that are used to meet the energy needs of the
nation. You will compare these two sources using cost-benefit analysis. Based on your analysis, you will
determine which energy source is better. You will then write a paper to share the information you
researched, your analysis, and your conclusion.
In 2015, the United States produced 89 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy from different
sources. Coal accounted for 21% of this production, and 32% is from natural gas. The production and
development of these resources involve costs. Coal and natural gas extraction and production also have
environmental and human health implications.
