    Background:

    • Many people may be curious about the renewable energy possibilities in their area.  This data is available from various government websites, but is either not user friendly or highly technical. 
    • For people to make good decisions about renewable energy, they need convenient access to information about the resource potential in their area. 

    Challenge Description:

    Create a simple web application or visualization, or smartphone app that spatially and temporally integrates wind, solar, and geothermal energy data and allow users to see where, on average, wind and/or solar, and/or geothermal potential are greatest.

    Functional Specifications:

    • Allow for users to drill down to a localized geospatial scale, showing areas where combined wind and solar (or other combinations) would have the great potential.
    • You are free to be creative in your solution, but one possibility would be to create a google maps or google earth type interface which overlays various renewable energy potential layers (solar, wind, geothermal, etc.) which can be combined or viewed individually.
