With Arizona's diverse topography, the temperature average for southern Arizona, including the Phoenix
metropolitan area, is lows of 30°F in the winter to over 100°F in the summer. In the northern portion of the
state, the temperature fluctuates from 20°F to 95°F. The highest temperature recorded was 127°F. The lowest
temperature recorded was -40°F. With such extreme highs and lows, what can people do to consistently
lower global warming in this state? Think in terms of the environment.

Answer:

Arizona will always high an extremely high energy consumption, and there is nothing to do about it. This is because it is a state that is part of a very developed country (the U.S.), standards of living are therefore high, and the climate and the shape of the cities make the use of air conditioning and cars, mandatory.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this reason, instead of trying to reduce energy consumption, Arizona should promote a fast energy transition instead. The state should be dotted with solar energy and wind plants everywhere, since the majority of the territory is uninhabited desert. The state could even build nuclear power plants because nuclear is a realiable and cheap source of clean energy.

In conclusion, instead of trying to lower energy consumption, Arizona should make energy consumption come from clean and sustainable sources.
