New Scheme for the Promotion of Renewable Energies
Everyone’s an Author Essay
Locate and analyze at least one credible and relevant research source that helps define the problem you want your study to address, and possibly provides why the problem is significant enough to warrant study for your hypothetical client. Your source may be from the web, a database provided by the library (https://library.fiu.edu/infolit/tutorials), or a primary source such as an interview, survey, or observation.’

Here is an example for guidance, taken from page 424 of Everyone’s an Author:
Moner-Girona, Magda, ed. “A New Scheme for the Promotion of Renewable Energies in Developing Countries: The Renewable Energy Regulated Purchase Tariff”. European Commission Joint Research Centre Publications Repository. European Commission Joint Research Centre, 2008. Web. 12 Apr. 2011.
This report on a study by the PhotoVoltaic Technology Platform discusses how to promote renewable energy in developing countries. The report proposes a new tariff scheme to increase the flow of money where it is needed, suggests several business models, and estimates the potential success or failure of each.
The detailed information about business models, supply-chain setups, and financial calculations will be useful, especially in the part of my project that deals with photovoltaic cells. One potential drawback is that this report makes premature assumptions: the proposed business plan is probably not implementable for 20 years. Even so, this report contains useful data and models, including graphs and charts, that will support my claims.
