摘要: The production and use of fossil fuels nonrenewable electricity creates many forms environmental degradation. To reduce degradation, this research suggests an energy strategy based on end-use analysis regional geography. Energy geography are used to match renewable resources with site-specific, needs. Fieldwork conducted within Centre County, Pennsylvania, demonstrates that small-scale solar, wind, micro-hydropower could displace a proportion household use. Such approach meets needs, while conserving reducing
