Pond Succession
Electricity Generation
Fuel Energy Source --> Conversion of Energy (Steam) --> Spinning Turbine -->Electricity Generation
Note: Some renewable resources do not produce steam (hydropower, solar, wind).
Increased Carbon Dioxide (Greenhouse Gas)
Increased (Chattahoochee National Forest) Woodland Diversity
Increased Sustainability
