My teacher wants it to be realistic, no magic, but we can time travel. It has to be about energy or about the environment any ideas? I've started it, but I don't have a plot or what my character should do. Here is what I have done so far:

I was born in my family’s white summer home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I remember the warm sun basking my face on the beach, the sand squeezing between my toes. I had spent the beginning of my childhood there, of course before all of the coasts had flooded. My family and I were forced to leave. So now I live in New York, where it constantly snows. The snow was fluffy. It looked very placid, there were no signs life out there, not a footprint or paw print…
I knew that snow had a different side to it, an ocean of frigidity. Snow itself was cold. I mean, I could tell from the Nor’easter winds that it was cold, that the snowstorms were not just a gentle blanket of cotton balls, but these days—it killed more and more people. Whatever was out there…
I never knew, nor will I ever. Heck, I had never even touched it. I placed my hands against the warm window. I hung my head; I couldn’t even feel its presence. I was shut from the outside just like the people walking by me.

These people treaded on the concrete sidewalks just like they had done 25 years ago before the human species enclosed ourselves and our cities in these domes to protect ourselves from mother nature’s intoxicating environment.

First, make sure your tenses in the story are consistent. I have a problem with that myself. I guess you're starting with a flashback? More description perhaps? Of what your character left behind?
You do have a plot beginning, I think. You mention the cold is killing people - how does your person know? And does he/she want to experience the cold? Will he/she get to that point? Why did humans have to go into domes? You might need to do a bit of research (or maybe not) about what specifically is wrong with the air or why it's so cold.
And what happened to the shoreline? Are you hinting at global warming or was there some other catastrophe? Also, sounds like your protagonist isn't that old...were they living outside the domes? If so, how could they when others were confined?
I can see much of what you've described. I think you can have some fun with this. Just keep painting pictures for your readers with your words.

You could write about how the environment afferted you and possibly treatment you needed to get in order to get cured. Trust me you can go on and on just take a deep breath and let the juices flow.

Well you could go the typical route with some sort of natural disaster...but more realistic would be a nuclear war (seeing as how our world is so messed up right now).

I know you're definitely going to have a delorean in the plot somewhere.
