Abstract:
The University of North Carolina is considered a regional leader on environmental issues but continues to burn thousands of tons of coal each year in its power plants. The university is in debt on its cogeneration power plant and will have to burn coal until at least 2022. Several groups have called for the university to end coal use in five years, but that will not be possible. The various ways UNC is examining to go carbon neutral by 2050 are explored.

Abstract:
Old Faithful refers not to the famous Yosemite Park geyser, but to nuclear power. This energy source provides a substantial source of power, with nearly a third of the state’s electricity generation. Currently challenges to its predominance include a diversity of energy sources, including alternative fuel sources like biofuels and traditional fuel sources such as natural gas. What may make nuclear energy worth continuing an investment in is cost. North Carolina energy costs, ranked as among the least expensive in the United States, can attribute this to factors such as nuclear power being a low cost energy source.
