Energy+in+Terracivis


 * __Energy in Terracivis __ **

Since decades, energy of Terracivis comes from coal mines. Coal mines allowed the workers to become residents, but coal mining are in transition because it's became too expensive to extract it. The mines closed and a lot of people were driven to the cities in order to find a job. It contributed to the unemployment of the country. Industrial leaders are looking for a better way to product energy. Further, coal mining does not correspond to the image the country would like to have in order to develop ecotourism.


 * __Solutions__ **


 * **Solar energy:** Terracivis is a hot country; the average temperature is between 25ºC and 18°C (between 77°F and 64.4°F). January, february and march are very hot months with average temperatures about 30°C (86°F). Probably solar resources are very efficient to produce energy all over the country. Terracivis has minerals and can probably made the solar itself and reduce the unemployment rate. It doesn't pollute the country, preserves the environment and so, increases ecotourism. Ecotourism can become a very good way to employ the local population and increase their profits, the GDP and reduce poverty.


 * **Hydroelectric power production:** Terracivis has two big rivers: West river and East river, so the government can place hydroelectric barrage which will produce some proper energy which doesn't pollute. The average rainfall in Terracivis is normal: between 1000 mm and 400 mm (in France, which is a temperate country: 656 mm/year). Terracivis hasn't four seasons like other countries. The climate is composed by a "cold season" and a "hot season". The majority of rainfall must be while the "cold season", between april and september. The rainfall must be very powerful and swell the rivers: More current in the river, more power.


 * **Aeolian energy**: We can think about an aeolian park to produce energy. The best place to build it is near the sea because the lowlands are windier than the highlands. Near a city, is better, because it's richer than the rest of the country. The district could participate in the building of an aeolian park.

We need to work out these solutions in order to produce energy in a different way. The production of proper energy will increase the ecotourism because ecotourists will probably prefer a country producing good and renewable power than a country using coal mines. Energy is a very important issue. Everybody should have electricity at home. Improvement of energy will increase telecommunications and country's production efficiency.
