Renewable Energy Source

Surprisingly the worlds most relied on renewable energy source is water, even over wind and sunlight. All throughout the globe utilities use hydropower to generate electricity because it is a lot easier to store and easier to mover from place to place and dispatch. Other than the profound ecosystem impact of making huge waterways, hydropower actually can wreak a havoc on aquatic species and those species ecosystem. Most of watersheds around the world are very highly degraded and have very polluted waterways

    I agree it is surprising that water is relied on more than wind and sunlight. I could see how water is easier to use and move than other resources. It's sad to see the impact that this has on the ecosystems, because if its the most used, there isn't really a way we can drastically decrease the negative effects that it has on those ecosystems.

    I agree with your topic, but its shocking that people doesnt take care of it. Even though it may be a renewable source, there are animals that live in this ecosystem, and we should take care of that.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the port.  Some crazy things that happen wh

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

How Does Solar Energy Work?

How Does Solar Energy Work? Most people and I would assume everyone in this class have heard of solar energy. Some might even know some that use solar energy at some level. One question that I myself sometimes find myself having is how does solar energy really work? Of course, we know that solar energy is energy that is absorbed from the sunlight, but let's dig deeper. The most common way to use solar energy is through solar panels. Solar panels absorb solar energy through something known as photovoltaics. As stated in a post made by Energy.Gov "energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow, " Solar energy is something that can seem expensive at first, but if you compare the costs of a one time installment versus a continuous energy bill, it will most often come out being cheaper. Do you guys know anyone that uses solar
