This project examined the energy usage by current human society and analyzed instances in which renewable energy could be applied. A comparison was made between the Northeast and West South Central Region of the United States. A renewable energy community was designed to provide a feasible and environmentally advantageous standard of living. The design integrates solar, biomass, and hydrogen technologies. The project also examines the impact such a community may have on the environment and global society.
