8. What would be the best alternative energy resource to use to generate electricity in an area where there are many rivers and lakes? Justify your choice and explain why it is best compared to other alternative energy sources.
The best alternative energy resource to use in this particular area would be hydroelectricity because there are a lot of sources of water to be used to create electricity. Solar might also work as well depending on how sunny it is in that area.
