The document outlines Houston's plan to become the Energy City of the Future in 2050. The plan is to use natural gas as the main energy source, supplemented by solar and wind power, as these are cleaner alternatives. The city aims to build better factories that use natural gas efficiently and develop better solar panels and wind turbines. The goal is to make energy production and use easier and more cost effective over time while reducing environmental impact. Key industries will be energy and transportation.

the Future 2050

2. Supply
• Our main supply of energy will consist
of mainly of natural gas, but
alternatives are solar energy, wind
energy, hydro-electrical energy and
ethanol. We will have plenty of them In
the future by using technology to find
them.

3. DemandDemand
• People would want a cleaner, safer, and
more dependable source of energy.
• People would want to save more money
on energy, and at the same time, they
would like to cause less harm to our
environment by using more alternative
energy sources.

4. Our Plan
• The plan is to use natural gas as our
main source, and use solar and wind
power as our two main alternative
sources. We choose natural gas because
its cleaner than other fossil fuels.

5. Our Plan Part 2

We will need better factories that use the
natural gas wisely, and for the best result. The
other technology we need is have better solar
panels that gets more light and makes more
electricity. For the other source we need more
lighter and cheaper wind mills so wind can
push it faster and so we can have more mills
with less money.

6. Our Plan Part 3

The plan can be easily modified if needed.
Making the future requirements easier to
manage. Also, the plan will evolve to make
using energy more easier and faster in time.

The cost will be as minimum as possible by
using natural gas as our main source. This is
because using natural gas is faster, cheaper
but in the same time more efficient and safer.
Also, using solar and wind is cheaper to build
than other sources.

7. Our plan part 4
• We will have some problems to accomplish this
plan. One of them is making workers come to
Houston, and making them stay. The other one is
to find money to successfully accomplish the plan,
but afterward the income will be greater than the
cost. Making the plan efficient, and helping make
stay the capital of energy.

8. Our plan part 5

The fifth part is how to use natural gas wisely.

The best way to use it is by using a small amount
if needed, but not using it carelessly.

Also, the third way of using the alternatives is
storing the electricity in batteries, and using it
when needed, and using it when the weather is in
our favor. This will help us use these sources more
efficiently

10. 3rd Plan
• This third plan is to make more public
parks. This will give families more places
to have picnics or family reunions in the
weekends, and in the same time reduce
our carbon footprint.

11. Industries
 The two main industries are energy,
and transportation.
 We will need employees that know how
to use energy, and manage the
factories efficiently.
 Also, the jobs and new factories will
give the city have a better income, and
a more stable dependency and
economy.

12. Energy and Transportation

In the energy industry we will make the factories
have stricter emission of CO2. The second change is
to manage it more environmentally friendly, but in
the same time more profitable.

In transportation industry is supplying more buses,
and workers.
