It was interesting to read about alternative energy sources, especially the renewable ones. What a wonderful world it would be if we could eliminate the waste and pollution we create by using fossil fuels. I can see how important it is to have new students entering into environmental sciences. We will NEED these people to help develop new technologies so that we can create a sustainable Earth. I enjoyed the visit from Stanley who educated us on the pros and difficulties of solar energy through solar panels.
Now that I understand all of the factors that come into play for just being able to utilize this technology. I will consider how I build my home in the future. For example, he talked about how large trees shading your roof and not having the right direction of your home could render the technology useless or not cost effective.
