Part B: Rough Outline

Plan a rough outline of all the points you want to make in your final report. This may change as you finish working on the
project, but having a rough outline at this point will help you to prepare. Fill in the tables below using point form:

INTRODUCTION – KEY POINTS TO MAKE:

Over million years ago the plants were covering the earth and these plants were converting the solar energy to many
more forms. but Now, so many things have been changed and these changes are the main cause of energy crisis.
Nowadays so many industries are running on the are using a huge amount of fossil fuels. Industry’s use of fossil fuels
has been blamed for warming the climate. When coal, gas and oil are burnt, they
release harmful gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and cause global warming. Energy crisis is increasing
dramatically. However we can control these things by taking some important actions.

BACKGROUND:
Scientific Info: Main points:

Source(s) used (1, 2, or 3):
Forgot to indicate which sources
were used for your points
The energy crisis is increasing because of too much industrialization. They
increase the demand and production is zero because fossil fuels are
nonrenewable. We can not produce these stuff easily.
Cause of the energy crisis
 Overconsumption
 Overpopulation
 Poor infrastructure
 Unexplored Renewable Energy Options
 Delay in Commissioning of Power Plants
 Wastage of Energy
Is renewable source is the only way to remove the energy crisis.
Advantages And disadvantages of RES.
Types of RES
 Solar energy
 Efficient bio-energy use
 Biogas
 Hydropower

Impact of the Issue:

This issue can put huge impact on the life of human life because nowadays most
Source(s) used (1, 2, or 3): people are technology slave. They cannot live without technology so if the

STAKEHOLDERS:
1st Stakeholder How are they affected?
Government of country
They have their high willingness to reduce the problem. Moreover, they have the
huge influence because they are the core stakeholder. They can effected very
badly because they have to manage their country’s energy crisis. The reason
behind this is consumer are already paying the taxes and price to use that energy
so if they are not caring about this then consumer can be depressed.

2nd Stakeholder How are they affected?

Functional department, Mass
media
These stakeholders are strong stakeholder. Because of this they can affect on
very huge scale. Even they want to do something for that still they cannot be
able to do. Because this is not an easy task to control the energy crisis. Doesn’t
actually mention how they were affected, be sure to clearly explain how
specifically

3rd Stakeholder How are they affected?

Consumers, Employees

These stakeholders, despite the existence of their own interest, but in this crisis
management has always shown passive and marginalized trend. They can also
affect by the energy crisis. If this is going to be happen on the frequent basis
their life style can be become poor and their future generation can be deprived
from some of the resources.

ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE:

Energy transition to renewable energy sources: unlike fossil fuels there are so many other renewable sources which
can help to reduce the energy crisis.
Energy efficiency and conservation: use of energy must be in proper amount and By the use of technology we can
make such equipment’s which are more efficient towards energy.
Make sure to find specific real world examples of these things being done. This section should have actual examples
of actions groups or individuals have taken to address the issue.
