right are you trying to say with your essay? is it complete?

are you outlining the basics of oil sand production?
are you just providing a outline of the economic development in the region?
Is this about city planning?

Norm, I wish that I had put this in my calendar and actually planned ahead. I will put our instructions, I felt lost at first, and then it seemed like I was spending all of my time researching individual details.

Choose an "energy town" and develop its "geography of energy". Pick one of the following: Uranium City, Saskatchewan; Ft. McMurray, Alberta; Houston, Texas; Farmington, New Mexico; Gillette, Wyoming; Baku, Azerbaijan; Stavanger, Norway; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Calgary, Alberta; Perth, Australia; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Aberdeen, Scotland.

You are responsible for working out what should be included, but remember that geography is a “spatial” science that concentrates on the surface of the Earth, so that means it could include such themes as location, distribution, siting, movement,relationships with other places, interactions between nature and society, and so forth. You may take any angle on this assignment that you want, although you should be certain to defend what you choose as fitting into the geography of the city you stress.

No more than 500 words, plus graphics
* Include source data and description of any graphs, images, etc. that you include in your paper. Don't include things and not explain to your audience why you put them in the paper!
* If you use information from another person, you MUST cite it appropriately. If you paraphrase or include any statistics, you must have the proper citation.

15 points

Save the document by your last name and put 'energy town" in the subject line.

Due: by e-mail to our TA by April 15th

I already submitted this, even though it is horribly incomplete, but I will come back as I have time to try to make it clearer.
