Please make sure that your Essay responses are typed. The essay should be no longer than 2
pages double-spaced with a cover page included. A work cited page must be included citing the
sources you used. If you are unsure how to cite in APA or MLA, I would recommend consulting
with a librarian that can assist you. There are also useful videos on citing available via YouTube.
Instructions: Please use Times New Roman or Arial Black 12-point font size. Make sure it is
double-spaced and that you have answered all the questions.
Argue Your Case
1. A friend is extolling the virtues of her new geothermal heat pump. It has a COP of 4, so
she argues that it uses only one-quarter of the energy a conventional heating system
would use. Formulate a more realistic assessment of the heat pump’s energy
consumption.
2. A member of your national legislature claims that “the answer to all our energy problems
lies right beneath our feet” and proposes a crash program of intensive geothermal energy
development. Develop an argument either supporting or opposing this program.
