Energy Powerpoint Slides

The 2 slides can be found here


1. Describe one thing that surprised you about the energy source that you researched and presented.
The extent and possibilties of hydropower extend beyond simple dams: with hydro power, we could harness the power of waves, of oscillating motion, of almost anything that in any way involves water.


2. Describe one thing that surprised you about an energy source that another team presented.
I had never realized the true extent that solar power could be harnessed: I was impressed by the fact that a few solar panels could keep a pool heated, especially considering how much water an average home swimming pool has.


3. Describe and defend what you believe to be the most important technological need regarding energy.
I think that the most important current need for energy technology is its dependence on clean energy sources. Regardless of whether or not global warming is real, CO2 is a serious problem and we don't want the US to turn into a giant Mexico City, where there are smog warnings daily.
