Energy Flow

Energy flow is the continuous and directional flow of energy through living beings within an ecosystem. All living beings can be segregated into producers and consumers. These producers and consumers can be further divided in a food chain. The term ‘trophic level’ is assigned to each level of the food chain.

Opponents of alternative and renewable energy technologies argue that such technologies are expensive and contain many hidden costs. Opponents of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy technologies argue that we don't account for the hidden environmental and health costs of these technologies, which makes non-renewables (primarily fossil fuels) seem cheaper. Explore this debate by doing the following: Go to the website page: https://www.aei.org/articles/the-trouble-with-renewable-energy/ to read an article stating that renewable energy technologies may not fulfill their promise. Notice the date of the article and reflect on any change in our society's perception on this subject. Also note the author. I recommend you always do a bit of research about an article's author, because it is important to understand an author's frame of reference.
