The document outlines a plan for Houston to become the "Energy City of the Future" in 2050. The plan is to use natural gas as the main energy source and supplement it with solar and wind power. It proposes developing better natural gas and renewable energy technologies to provide cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable energy. The goals are to meet increasing energy demand affordably while reducing environmental impacts through alternative sources. Challenges include funding the plan and attracting workers, but the plan is intended to make Houston a continued energy leader through efficient and sustainable practices.

the Future 2050

2. Supply
• Natural Gas
• Solar Energy
• Hydro-electric
• Wind Energy

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 us
make Houston stay the capital of energy.

8. Our plan part 5

We will supply more energy making the prices go down.

The best way to use natural gas is by using a small amount as
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 three main industries are energy,
education, 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. Giving jobs to workers.
