Executive Power
Available from the Environmental Protection Agency, in this simulation students "act as an environmental compliance officer at an electric power plant located in the fictitious country of "Ecoland." They are asked to develop a compliance strategy that will allow your facility to meet emission limits (or cap) while still generating enough electricity to meet customer demand." The two simulations available cover sulfur dioxide for acid rain and carbon dioxide for climate change. Available for free.
