Renewable
energy
what I know
What I knew before this
project was that coal and
fossil fuels are polluting the
planet, and that we are
running out of focus fuels
so we need to find new
ways of creating energy.

what I want to know
What I wanted to learn
was what research is
being done? How can we
make the switch to
renewable energy?, and
why should we care about
renewable energy?

In this article I learned that there
are many types of renewable
energy, and that wind turbines are
efficient but only if there in a
field not just anywhere. But
research is being done to be able
to put wind turbines in the ocean.

I went in to this RJ#2 still
knowing very little about
renewable energy. this book
talked about co2 emissions and
how bad we are about reducing
them. it also said that we need to
drastically reduce our co2
emissions before our world is
overwhelmed by global warming.

I still knew very little about renewable energy
when I found this source. In this site, I found out
there are many other ways of using renewable
energy besides turbines and solar energy.
Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy
that involves piping going under your house into
the earth and heat your home in the Winter, while
cooling it in the Summer. It is a practically free air
conditioning andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_geothermal_system
heating unit.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Mrs. Kinley
and I learned many things about renewable
energy from her, that I didn’t know. I learned
from her that burning coal and fossil fuels is
the number one cause of global warming. I
also learned that studies are being done to find
out where and how we can put wind turbines in
the ocean. They are doing this because there
are no obstructions in the ocean to block the
wind.
what I learned
I learned many things throughout this process
including time management skills, and things
that included renewable energy. I learned that
renewable energy with the right types of
renewable energy is endless. Wind turbines, if
money is put into them, will double the savings
of the initial to install them.
