I think that the idea of this is grand and a fantastic way for us to incorporate different styles and methods of energy in our community. T.M.I. has been safely decommissioned and leaves us with the option to either stop building nuclear power plants‚ or proceed to building nuclear power plants.

Solar energy can help lower the cost of the energy we use now by burning fossil fuels‚ changing the supply and demand of the product. Also‚ it can help the pollution that is causing further health and economic problems. Since there are many benefits to funding research about solar energy and knowing the benefits

I decided to choose this topic because wind turbines is one of the answer against the global warming‚ it is a completely renewable source of energy. When it is installed‚ running cost are lower than many other electrical systems. While running‚ wind power do not produce carbon dioxide. However‚ all structure have an impact on the environment. Many people complain about the damage to local eco-system‚ to the visual impact as well as the noise that produce. Wind turbine seems to be clean when
