When I started writing my blog, I believed that the further development of Alternative Energy was essential in securing our planets future, and while that hasn't changed, my understanding of the subject of the subject has deepened. One source that affected my views was the response I did on DIY solar panels. They allow anyone with a small amount of money to buy a solar panel which will save you money and lower your carbon footprint. The slight problem? You receive a kit with a guide, but you have to build your own solar panel. This article made me realize that the one thing standing in the way of solar panels being universally owned was their very high cost.
Wind power, the other form of renewable energy I focused on, has some very important pros and cons I discovered in an article about NIMBY, standing for Not in My Backyard. This article stated that people just didn't want towering metal structures in their view for a variety of ridiculous reasons. Even people who want to build wind turbines were solidly against people building them within view of their property. Still, wind power really has no non-aesthetic drawbacks, with zero emissions and reasonably efficient transfer to electricity.
After reviewing my blog it appears like I have said much of the same thing over the five month period. This is because every single article, barring one, has only reinforced my idea that Alternative Energy is the future, and necessary in the preservation of a recognizable Earth.
