Effective." Points of View: Nuclear Power (2009): 2. Points of View Reference Center .
EBSCO. Web. 23 Feb. 2011.
This article talks about how it’s in favor of the use of nuclear power as an alternative energy source. It also explains how nuclear power is safe and efficient of nuclear plants and the nuclear waste can be used also. Its main focus is on how the nuclear power is cost efficient, safe and clean, and how it can limit the conservation and the “decentralize” the power from solar panels and the wind turbines. The article’s view is in favor of using nuclear power as an alternative energy resource. The article was published in the Points of View Reference Center.

The Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society is an academic/scholarly journal that began in 1981 and is peer reviewed. This journal “aims "to provide a means of communication within as wide of a spectrum of the STS community as possible" and its
“intended audience includes researchers, educators, and students at all levels (including
K;b212), professionals in government and industry, policy makers, journalists, public interest groups, and the "attentive public" as Ulrichs Web Global Serial Directory describes it. This article talks about the conventional energy is challenged be the “energyenvironment crisis” and how even though nuclear power could be used as an alternative energy resource, is considered not to be a likely a viable response to the energyenvironment crisis.

Way to Reduce Pollution and Oil Consumption by Cars." Points of View: Fuel Efficiency
(2009): 3. Points of View Reference Center.EBSCO.Web. 22 Feb. 2011.
Annotation: "Counterpoint: Consumer Choice Is the Best Way to Reduce Pollution and Oil
Consumption by Cars" is published by Points of View.
The article discusses approaches to save energy and protect the environment. It states that the best way to reduce oil consumption in transportation is consumer choice. Options to lower pollution are cited including buying smaller, fuel-efficient cars, car pooling, or working from home.
According to the article, rising petroleum prices is part of a solution to the problem and not a problem at all.

Annotation: The article discusses concerns over the environmental impact of the strip mining of coal in the U.S. The author asserts that strip mining carries hidden costs, such as general environmental degradation and the introduction of toxic pollutants, despite claims by coal mining companies that strip mining is much less expensive than deep-shaft mining. The country is advised to focus on significantly reducing or eliminating its use of fossil fuels, including coal.

Annotation: The article looks at the issues surrounding wind power generation in the U.S.
Environmental concerns have led the country to search for renewable sources of energy, including wind power. However, despite the fact that wind power could solve the global energy crisis, debate regarding its feasibility still exists. The article traces the history of wind power in the country. It also presents definition of terms related to electricity generation.
