   PowerPoint used to support the skit presentation:  The skit had the Ghost of Energy visit the President of the United States to show how the energy used in the present and the past has lead to our current energy crisis.  The President led by the Ghost of Energy then visited two alternatives, Energy Future Positive and Energy Future Negative.  The skit ended with our President presenting a plan in a State of Union Address to reach the positive energy outcome.  The students were presented with the award for Best Presentation on Conservation of Energy and Future Planning.
