Inspiration

At first, we wanted to do a small research project. Collect data, analyze it and present it. Our main goal was to look at renewable energy policies.

What it does

We decided to create an applet with information to teach people about renewable energy policies and law around the United States. By typing a US zip code. It can give the number of policies and incentives in that area. This tool will also provide the links redirecting you to a website with all the information about a particular incentive or policy.

How we built it

We used tableau to great the graphs. We used R, Jupyter Python to collect, scrape, and organize the data.

Challenges we ran into

Finding the right data took us a lot of time. It also took us a lot of time to get the right type of data for the applet to work properly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to create an applet from a potential research paper.

What we learned

Data, collecting data, understanding normalization in data, etc.

What's next for Renewable Energy and Policy

Being able to predict more reasons why some states are less interested into clean energy.
