New Time-Of-Use Plan

In Southern California, a new plan has been made that would charge people in that area more for their electricity during certain times. This is said to be done so that citizens will have the incentive to use their electricity at earlier times when there is more energy being distributed, or later when the demand for energy is much less. Certain places will be put on certain times, so someone in one city will be charged more for electricity from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

I'm not too sure if I am personally on board with this idea. I have family in California, and they are already dealing with a system like this for their water. They have certain times during the day where they can't use water at all. This may be a quick temporary fix to the ever-evolving energy crisis, but I don't see this fixing the problem forever.

Do you guys agree with this plan?

Would you be able to handle two hours out of your day without power?

    Yeah I'm not on board with this idea either. I feel like they need to come up with a better way to fix the problem. If it's a temporarily fix then I get it, but if not then I'd be pissed.

    Yea I wouldn’t be on board with this either, I think them finding another way to fix the problem would be better because we Americans are already going through a lot of things during this time and this is adding on to it.

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...
