Wind Power

 Ylaria Valadez, Wind Power September 21, 2021





    There are many more advantages of wind power than there is challenges, which is why it is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the world. Wind power describes the process which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or energy. Some of the advantages to having wind power compared to any other source of power is that wind power is more cost-effective, it creates more jobs, it is a clean fuel source, it is sustainable, and wind turbines can be built on existing farms or ranches. The challenges of wind power is wind turbines can kill birds or bats, good sized wind sites are often far away from cities. Turbines can also loud noises and aesthetic pollution, which is a visual impact to the

    I think Wind power will be a great tool to help create more energy. Also think it would be a very sustainable way to create more energy. When is the natural occurring thing on earth and it isn't something that can be stopped. Using wind Power would create energy with a low carbon footprint. this also uses mother nature to our advantage using something that's naturally occurring without damaging it to help create power in a sustainable way. 1 power could potentially help bring down the need of energy from fossil fuels, create more jobs, and just overall be less toxic to our environment. We are only given one environment. Why not try to be more conscientious in the decisions that we make on this planet. There is a safer and more efficient way to create energy. We should phase out and Create something better that is more suitable. I think things like wind power, solar power, and hydropower will someday be the way of energy

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Image
              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 ...

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...
