Herbert Durham's senior project presentation discusses the demand for and generation of electricity. It notes that electricity is required to power appliances, equipment, and provide lighting, heating, and energy for industrial processes. The presentation examines where electricity comes from, its environmental impacts, how it is generated, and how much is used. It also discusses how electricity generation significantly affects the environment due to the large amounts of society's electricity derived from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which release harmful greenhouse gases.
