The New Chautauqua Game
Designing the Renewable City and Region Using e[m]ergy Accounting


Introduction

The New Chautauqua Game evaluates the land needed to harvest and concentrate renewable energies to support the population of the county.

To play the game adjust the slider bars below to modify the rates of production and consumption in the county, then click on “Check Land Area” to see if your scenario can support the population on the resources of the county.

To see the distribution of land uses within the county, select a population scenario and click “Remap Chautauqua” to see the results.
