I am very interested in Alternative Energy, and I can easily see it holding my attention for a couple of simple reasons. First off, I have been interested in alternative energy sources for much longer than five months already, so it seems likely that I will stay interested in it. Also, it is essential to our world's future, so it will definitely impact my future, and possibly my plans for the future. I am not planning to become an engineer, or otherwise even work with alternative energy, but it could influence me to buy a more fuel efficient car, or maybe invest in a geothermal heating system for example.
The field of Alternative Energy is constantly changing, and there are constantly more effective ways of collecting energy being researched. This subject will continue to change, and will definitely be far different five months from now than right now. Fuel cell technology, for example, is a relatively new idea, but it is already a seriously researched field of technology.
This topic will be incredibly easy to find information on, with or without a computer, as many other sources have information about it as well. If I get on the computer and search "Alternative Energy" it comes up with more than 66 million hits, so there is no shortage of information out there. The daily newspaper has articles about it, Discover and National Geographic, even Rolling Stones, have articles on it. The problem with this topic isn't getting information about it, but about getting useful information.
Because the technology being developed for Alternative Energy is changing so much and so often it absolutely will provide a basis for ongoing research, and the information will definitely not be static. The budget for alternative energy is being increased by the American government, and all around the world governments and organizations are investing in alternative energy sources, and this should provide an interesting basis for ongoing research.
What I believe now is that Alternative Energy is very important to our planets survival, and I believe that my viewpoint will not change with my research. I believe that alternative energy is essential to our future as a planet, and I will not change my mind on that stance unless something insane is found out, like solar and wind power is whats actually causing global warming. But this issue will force me to dig deep into what information is out there, and I will be forced to to separate useless information and facts from actual information and ideas.

ReplyDeleteHey Sal,
ReplyDeletePretty good post! I liked how you gave some pretty substancial information! No doubt that this topic will be evolving throughout the next year! Maybe on you're next post should include some types of alternative energy? or you should include some objects that produce alternative energy? You should definately purchase a 3 year subscription to multiple magazines such as Home Power Magazine, even though it will be like $350, it's very worth it! You should also take a WHOLE weekend in the library researching Alternative Energy, just taking note after note! When it comes to web sites, it looks like you're down with that. You are right, there is A LOT of stuff to look at on the internet Alternative Energy wise...
Alternative energy is an interesting topic because there are so many answers to it but each one has its flaws. I have a similar topic but is narrowed more towards electric cars. This may be something you should look into for your subject as well. We will eventually run out of gasoline, so alternative energy and electric vehicles will play a huge part in the modern world. The site listed below is the company Tesla. The first electric car company that is making a good looking and solely electric car. This may be a good thing to look into for your project. Looks great!
