  Six-Point Critical Analysis of Current Event 1.       Exploratory According to the solar farm installation video, a new project is being created with 500 acres of land. This big solar farm will help produce enough energy for about 8,500 EMC households. This project expresses its confidence and support for workers and their community. This project is going on in Georgia, which is currently one of the largest regions for solar installation. More than 300 workers helped build and create this project and in total had about 250,000 man-hours during construction! 2.       Diagnostic This project is occurring mainly because it will cause the lives of citizens in Georgia to get a much larger amount of their energy from clean, renewable solar-generated electricity. 3.       Cause and Effect The cause of this project is that it will help citizens as well as workers stay on the cutting edge of new technol...

 Alternative Energy A. What is Alternative Energy?  Alternative energy is energy produced in ways that do not hurt the environment or degrade natural resources, particularly through reducing the utilization of petroleum, coal, and nuclear energy. B.  Describe arguments for alternative energy in general. Some contend that nuclear power and renewable energy are cleaner, more sustainable, and require less upkeep than fossil fuels. Some also argue that  the sun and wind are unreliable energy sources, that there is a substantially greater upfront cost, and there is currently no storage capacity accessible.  Others argue about fostering  economic growth and employment in production, installation, and related fields. what-is-solar-energy-and-how-does-it-work-1425x800.jpg (1425×800) (ecowatch.com)     C.    Assess solar energy and explain its advantages and disadvantages. Include its limitations. What is solar energy? Solar energy is when s...

My Natural Resource Concept Map  What are Natural Resources? Natural resources are what we take from the environment and use. The whole concept of this review was Natural resources, so I stated the variety things of what natural resources is. I then proceeded to give examples of natural resources, like water, fruits, food, and so on so forth. What is a renewable and nonrenewable resource? Both sound similar but are very different. A renewable resource are resources that are used and after they are used, they still exist and are replenished while nonrenewable resources are resources that are only used once and cease to exist. Good for only about one use and cannot be replaced. Throughout the concept map, I believe I explain these resources, short but to the point. I gave examples for both and also definitions. Each linking line and linking word are interconnected to the main concept. In conclusion, the video "exploring Natural Resources" went very in depth with examples and ex...
