Electrical power distribution would not be possible if there were no sources of energy to create electricity. The main plants that generate this electricity are fueled by the primary resources (fossil fuel, nuclear fuel, and hydroelectric). These are essential resources. For your midterm exam, write a 750– 1000 word paper on the use of one of the primary resources (fossil fuel, nuclear fuel, or hydroelectric). Include the role that your chosen resource plays in power generation, along with any pros or cons of its use. Reference at least two sources in addition to your textbook and format your paper according to APA standards, 6th edition, including title and reference pages.
