1).
If I had to choose an energy source to tell my community,well I would prefer solar energy, solar energy is obtained from the sun's radiation and it can be converted to electricity.It is freely available where the sun's strike so it is easy to find and cost least of money to install.Solar energy has the least negative impact on the environment compared to any other energy sources.it does not produce greenhouse gases and does not pollute the environment.As long as there is sunshine,solar energy can be deployed anywhere.This is particularly useful for remote regions with no access to any other source of electricity.Some of energy, around 3-5% is lost during transportation and distribution.the longer the distances between the production and the supply points, the more energy is lost.Having solar panels on the roof or in the yard significantly reduces this disyance,therefore increasing the efficiency of the solar panels.
2).
My experience influence me to analyze the better and efficient energy source available in my community.Solar energy does not pollute my community and  wildlife.

1.
If I had to choose a good source of energy to introduce to the community, it would be the Solar Energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available. According to my research, There are more than 85 gigawatts (GW) of solar installed in the U.S., enough to power more than 16 million homes. The sun provides us with more energy than we could ever use and its abundant power offers an unlimited source of energy that does not strip the landscape or harm the ozone layer. Solar power is indeed a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. It also reduces reliance on oil, coal and natural gas for electricity production. Hence, these fossil fuels produce harmful emissions that affect the quality of air, water and soil, and are responsible for global warming. In contrast, solar energy produces no pollution.
2.
By researching and understanding the current and potential environmental issues associated with each renewable energy source and learned a lot of interesting informations regarding these sources of energy. In my whole life, I have witnessed and experienced how abundant the solar energy in our community. So that's why I preferred solar energy than other energy sources. It doesn't pollute and harm the environment like what other energy sources do. I have learned a lot today.

1. If i had to choose an
energy system to introduce to my community, I would choose
solar energy because
solar energy is clean since
it is generated by harnessing the rays of the sun and generating solar energy does not cause any pollution and it is efficient for both residential and commercial use. Solar energy has been proven to be the most efficient and effective among renewable energy sources. Another reason is that solar energy also reduces our electricity bills and is a renewable energy source.

2. I learned that
there are a lot of
energy sources which can gelp us in our everyday living by providing us source of electricity in which we need in order to power our devices or appliances at home. Having solar panels on the roof of our home can help us save a ton of electricity and causes no harm to the environment since it do not produce air pollution or greenhouse gases. Instead of collecting heat from the sun to convert it into electricity, it uses thermal devices to increase the temperature of a component. Solar energy is also beneficial to us after a storm since storms tend to cause damage to the power infrastracture which causes loss of electricity.

Energy is essential to life and all living organisms living on earth. The sun, directly or indirectly, is source of all the energy available on earth. Our energy choices and decisions greatly affect our Earth's natural system in a way we may not be aware of, so it is essential that we choose our energy sources carefully. The true cost of energy is more than just dollars or cents; there are more important economic, social factors and consequences to consider as well.

Discussion Question 1:
If I were to choose an energy system to share and discuss with the community, it would be Wind Energy Source. Based on the information that I have gathered, wind power is cost-effective. Land-based utility-scale wind is one of the lowest-priced energy sources available today. Wind also creates jobs. The U.S. wind sector employs more than 100,000 workers, and wind turbine technician is one of the fastest growing American jobs. According to the Wind Vision Report, wind has the potential to support more than 600,000 jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and supporting services by 2050. It is a clean fuel source since wind doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which emit particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human health problems and economic damages. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain, smog, or greenhouse gases. Wind is actually a form of solar energy, whuch makes it sustainable. Winds are caused by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the Earth's surface irregularities. For as long as the sun shines and the wind blows, the energy produced can be harnessed to send power across the grid.

Discussion Question 2:
Based on my experience, I have come to conclude that the different energy sources are great alternatives for the production of electricity. It is beneficial for the people especially those living in the rural areas since these sources are reserved energies that can call on at any time for extra flexibility. Local governments can dramatically reduce their carbon footprint by purchasing or directly generating electricity from clean, renewable sources. Residents can power their homes, and at the same time save money and help the environment in limiting pollution.

Discussion 1

Since our country the Philippines is situated near the equator has a Tropical Season and It is very abundant in sunlight I can say that Solar energy is the best energy I could recommend for my community. Solar energy comes from the sun and can be captured with various technologies, primarily solar panels.

As you can see it has various benefits or advantages to us as well as in our community. This kind of energy reduce the electricity bills and it is one of te cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source because it produce no air and water pollution. Solar energy may be a weather dependant but this is not a hindrance because our country is located near the equator which has a tropical season.

Discussion 2

Based on my experience even though I am just a High School student and I still dont have enough knowledge about the different types of energy sources, I have learned that renewable sources such as fossil fuels, biomass, wind, hydropower and solar also have environmental impacts, some of which are significant.

We usually use fossil fuels and other gasses as our main energy source and it seems that we already overuse it and most of them are nonrenewable and it has some various impacts in our environment  such as air and water pollution.

So we should use a energy source that would be beneficial to us as well in our environment. As what I have said solar energy is the best energy because this energy is a renewable source and has various benefits in our environment. This is already available in our locality so we should improve it.

# data[].attributes.body
1.     If I have given a chance to choose a energy source, I wouls choose Solar Energy. Here in Iloilo if we use solar enery we have a limitless energy source because the sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world’s energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won’t run out anytime soon. We don't only need a limitless energy but also a clean source, no greenhouse gas emissions are released into the atmosphere when you use solar panels to create electricity. And because the sun provides more energy than we’ll ever need, electricity from solar power is a very important energy source in the move to clean energy production and in this energy source we dont need no fuel to burn, after solar panels have been installed, operational costs are quite low compared to other forms of power generation. Fuel isn’t required, and this means that solar power can create large amounts of electricity without the uncertainty and expense of securing a fuel supply. So in general, I would like to use solar energy here in iloilo because it is abundant and eco-friendly

2.      We must be careful in using this enetgy sources some of it may affect the environment. We also need to consider the advantages, disadvantages and efficiency of each energy sources. All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions. However, renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydropower also have environmental impacts, some of which are significant.
Energy is a requirement in our everyday life as a way of improving human development leading to economic growth and productivity. The return-to-renewables will help mitigate climate change is an excellent way but needs to be sustainable in order to ensure a sustainable future and bequeath future generations to meet their energy needs. Knowledge regarding the interrelations between sustainable development and renewable energy in particular is still limited.

Discussion 1.)
If I had to choose an energy system to tell our community it would be Hydropower. As we all know Hydropower is energy that comes from the force of the moving water. We only need water to power machinery or make electricity. Hydropower uses a fuel-water-that is not reduced or used up in the process. Because the water cycle is an endless, constantly recharging system, Hydropower is considered a renewable energy.

Discussion 2.)
Thinking that our environment is slowly being destroyed because of human behavior there are ways to make up with it. There are a lot of energy resources that can't be worn out like Hydropower(water) and many more. Based on my experience, after we going through typhoons many electricity powers were not able be used so I came up with an idea that we might use these energy sources to make electricity for the better future not only for us but also for environment too.

# data[].attributes.body
1.If I had to choose an energy system I will probably choose a system that can help not only for the community but also for the environment. Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources that can serve as a succor for Mother Nature for it obtains its energy from the heat of the Sun. One of its advantages is, it can reduce your electric bills and has low maintenance cost. But it is very expensive and weather-dependent even though it uses high technology developments and diverse applications. Wind energy, based on my research is also a renewable energy source and cost- effective and has low maintenance bills. It uses wind turbines as an equipment to acquire wind energy as a source. This kind of energy source will be efficient and useful if your living in elevated areas or mountainous regions. These turbines have also disadvantage for it can harm or kill flying animals such as bats and birds. I think it would be best to use hydroelectric energy as a source for we are living in a country surrounded by water. It is reliable and easy to acquire if your living near a river or waterfalls. Furthermore, it is also one of the safest way to obtain an energy source and it can also help our ecosystem for it does not emit harmful gases or substances.

2.It provided me the necessary information to assimilate and cultural insights regarding the lesson. This type of experience gave me new and knowledge-based perspective. It also influenced me to use renewable resources because if no one will care for the environment, it will just become more and more polluted by the time that no one can live here anymore. We can use these kind of energy sources instead of using the non-renewable ones. They are our only hope to save and help Earth.

1.) Based on the research I’ve done, if I had to choose an energy system to tell my community about, it would be the Solar Energy. Though the manufacturing and disposing of solar cells produce some waste products, this energy has been used for a long time now and is one of the cleanest forms of energy as it produces no air or water pollution. I can tell them how we can use it to provide heating and electricity, and use it as well for power in cars and planes.

2.) My experience influences my analysis with awareness that no matter how useful something is, we should always consider the unhealthy effect it might have in our environment and everything around us.

# data[].attributes.body
1. All of these energy sources are all good in providing us energy that we use in our everyday lives even though some of them have serious negative effects on our environment, however if I were to choose which energy I would prefer, I would say the wind energy. Wind energy compared to the other types of energy is more cost effective and renewable. Wind energy unlike the other types of energy sources except solar energy doesn’t cause pollution. Wind turbine also takes up only a small area of land when built, because unlike solar panel facilities which takes up a huge portion of land, wind turbines are built vertical so even though there are multiple of them it won’t be a problem to us because there are still areas left for us to run or build around.

2. Energy are good in their own ways but they can also be the reason for our planets destruction, most of the energy sources causes pollution, global warming and loss of habitat for wildlife. In order to produce energy without destroying our planet we need to be smarter in choosing which energy sources we are going to use that won’t affect our planet in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If I had to choose an energy system to tell my community, it would be the wind energy source. Utilizing power from the wind is one of the cleanest and most sustainable way to generate electricity because it doesn’t pollute the air like power plants that depends on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, which emit harmful gases that causes human health problems and economic damages. The wind energy is free so it can be used by anyone and it is one of the lowest price renewable technologies available today.

2. Every type of energy sources that we use are all important even it causes negative impacts on our society. But choosing the right decision is the solution to many environmental challenges, particularly climate change. Issues such as increasing demand of energy, the need for clean and sustainable energy sources, or the way in which society use energy are all possible methods to empower us to think about the ways on how to untangle some of our current challenges.

Discussion 1
If I had to choose an energy system to tell my community about based on my research, I will choose wind energy. It is because, wind energy is a clean fuel source. It does not contaminate, it is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the origin of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming.Wind energy does not generate waste or contaminate water. An extremely important factor given the scarcity of water. Unlike fossil fuels and nuclear power plants, wind energy has one of the lowest water-consumption footprints, which makes it a key for conserving hydrological resources.Winds are caused by heating of atmosphere by the sun, earth surface irregularities and the rotation of the earth.For these reasons, producing electricity through wind energy and its efficient use contributes to sustainable development.

Discussion 2
I have learned that many energy sources can help a lot in our daily lives. We can use our natural resources to generate electricity.Wind energy is the most efficient technology to produce electricity in a safe and environmentally sustainble manner. I havn't experience yet using wind energy as an energy source but places that have windmills convert wind energy to electricity. Wind energy have a negative and positive impact. On the pros side, wind is a clean, renewable energy source, and is one of the most cost-effective sources for electricity. On the cons side, wind turbines can be noisy and unappealing aesthetically, and can sometimes adversely impact the physical environment around them.Similar to solar power, wind power is also intermittent, meaning that turbines are reliant on weather and therefore aren’t capable of generating electricity 24/7.But now, may places already uses this energy.  Even A small turbine in the back yard can easily power a small business or a home. And since the wind is free, operational costs are nearly zero once a turbine is erected. Mass production and technology advances are making turbines cheaper, and many governments offer tax incentives to spur wind-energy development. Therefore, wind energy is very helpful especially in those rural areas where they don't have source of electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
1.) Based on what I have learned, I think that the best source of energy is solar energy. Because it has lesser environmental issues than the rest of the energy sources, and we rely on the sun to provide energy and not any commercially made energy sources that can harm the environment. The Sun will always be available, unlike the other sources that are dependent on the things that may be limited. So if we want our economy to grow without wasting much, we should really consider using Solar Energy widely.

2.) That despite of the availability of these different energy sources, we should always consider the effect it has in our environment. If its harmful for the ecosystem. We should always consider our environment and not only enjoy the leisure of having electricity or any advantages these global energy brings. In my experience, we are currently using solar panel to charge our solar lights that we use as our overnight light. And it is proven as efficient and budget friendly.

1.) We live in a tropical country known as Philippines, thus we can make use of its hot climate as an energy source to our advantage. Solar energy is an accessible and renewable source of energy that can also be harnessed all over the world . This energy is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation, therefore it causes lesser environmental impacts. It also have wide range applications and aid for the development of technologies.

2.)After doing some research regarding the different energy sources I learned how it works, how they are harnessed in all areas of the world, and its uses in our daily lives. I realize how badly we need energy sources in order to run the appliances in our houses and engines or machines at work.  Energy sources have great impact in terms of economy  ,nonetheless, we should limit the use of these energy sources despite of how beneficial it seemed to be for it causes environmental problems.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Base on my research, I would choose solar energy beacause this kind of energy source doesn't pollute our surrounding and has renewable resources. It doesn't need oil or gas to produce electricity rather it uses the energy of the sun and use it as power source. It is reliable for everday use, it has low maintenance cost and reduces electricity bills. It is effecient for both home and commercial use.

2.I figured that, there are a lot of energy sources that can never run out. There are several clean energy sources that we can use to avoid polluting our earth and have a low-maintenance energy that came from our natural and abundant resources (like water, wind, and sun). These energy has a lot of impacts on our economy and environment to become better.

# data[].attributes.body
1.If you had to choose an energy system to tell your community about based only on your research, which system would you choose?  Why?

If I had to choose an energy system based on my research, I'd choose the hydropower energy system. Hydropower or is power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes. Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. There are three types of hydropower facilities. These are the impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Some hydropower plants use dams and some do not. Hydropower burn no fuel, operating costs are low and are immune to rising fossil fuel prices. As a result, these plants are playing a significant role in keeping electricity costs affordable for consumers, creating a positive impact on the economy. Hydropower represents about 17% of total electricity production. Most of the hydropower systems used by homeowners and small business owners, including farmers and ranchers, would qualify as microhydropower systems.

2. How does your experience influence your analysis of these energy sources?

These energy resources provides substantial benefits for our climate, our health, and our economy.

All energy sources have some impact on our environment including fossil fuels, coal, oil, and natural gas substantially harm more than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and more. However, renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydropower also have environmental impacts, some of which are significant.

The exact type and intensity of environmental impacts varies depending on the specific technology used, and a number of other factors. We can takes steps to effectively avoid or minimize these impacts as they become a larger portion of our electric supply by understanding the current and potential environmental issues associated with each renewable energy source.

# data[].attributes.body
1.If I had to choose an energy system that I had to introduce to my community I would choose wind power. We all know that every energy system has its own cons and negative effects in the environment, but we should also remember that some of its negative effects can be fixed through studies, researches and based on experiences. Wind power is considered as having the lowest water consumption and most favorable social impacts. It is also considered as one of the most sustainable renewable energy sources in the industry.

As we all know Wind energy is the only energy system that is present during mornings, afternoons and even evenings, and one turbine with an average of 1.5-MW would produce the same amount of electric energy as that used by almost 332 households over a year. Even if installing a wind power costs a lot at first, but after the long run, we will be able to realize how much we had been able to save because of using this energy system. Wind energy has many disadvantages such as; first, the inconsistency of the winds, but if we install these turbines in their best locations like on top of high elevations like hills and mountains or offshore where there are minimal obstacles that could potentially slow down the speed of the wind, then this will not be a problem anymore. Second are the noise and the ability of the wind turbines to reduce the local bird population. That is the reason why Bladeless turbines were constructed so that it can no longer kill any birds and bats, and also so that many would not be intimidated by the sound that the turbine makes.

Not alike other energy system that produces a lot of greenhouse gases, wind power was considered to be the lowest relative greenhouse gas creator. And as we all know, from all other energy systems, wind is the most impossible sources to disappear because even if it is sunny, windy, rainy or even during storms, wind is always present causing this type of source to be much more effective compared to other systems.

2.My experience influences me to come up with this analysis because if we really ponder on how we do not use these sources well, it will really become a big regret for us, because we were not able to maximize their use while conserving our environment. And out of all the other energy systems, wind power has the least negative effect in our environment, especially when we talk about its ability to produce greenhouse gases. And I believe that in constructing energy systems we should focus more on their ability to produce the least amount of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone because we are doing this to conserve the environment. So if we use other systems thinking that we can use them to preserve the environment, but we do not understand how much of these greenhouse gases were being produced by it, then it is like you trying to put out fires with gasoline. Because instead of helping in conserving the environment, the system helps in producing much more greenhouse gases that help worsen our environment. I would also want to influence everyone that spending a lot of money in constructing these kinds of energy system, whether it is wind, solar, hydroelectric power and biomass for it to become much effective and efficient is much more important than not being able to save money in the long run. Because I truly believe that if we invest in these different energy systems, we can save in electric bills and we can also help in conserving our environment for the future generations.

2. Energy sources have a direct correlation to our environment since it is where we get most of them. Ironically, this energy sources do more harm than good compared to renewable energy sources. This damages includes; air and water pollution, can endanger human’s health when exposed too long, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use and global warming emissions. It is important to note that although renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydropower have advantages they also pose a great impact on the environment.
The specific type and intensity of these impacts can be determined depending on the particular technology used, the geographic location, and the list goes on. In order to win the war, one must know thy enemy thus by understanding and grasping the true nature of these current and potential environmental issues associated with renewable energy source, we are equipping ourselves the right armor to effectively and efficiently combat the threat they pose in order to alleviate or avoid its effects in our community as it takes a huge part on the electric supply.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Wind power appeal to me the most that is why if I were to choose an energy system to tell my community I’d choose it in heartbeat. Why? Because wind power is a source of solar energy caused by the uneven heating, terrain, and bodies of water of the earth and it offers a lot of advantages to us including our environment. Firstly, to generate electricity it simply utilizes wind turbines and the  emissions  they release isn’t one that can pollute the air or water and it can also reduce the amount of electricity generation from fossil fuels, which most likely will lead to lower total air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. Next is, it is considered as renewable and sustainable since winds are ultimately caused by heating of atmosphere by the sun, earth surface irregularities and the rotation of the earth. Compared to fossil fuel reserves that can be exhausted easily, wind energy can last for a long time, it can even outlive us, and as long as the sun and the wind is there wind energy will continue to thrive. Lastly, a lot of money can be saved because it is free. The demand and supply for wind energy is non-existent and it can be used by anyone currently, when based on the wind resource and the particular projects financing this renewable technology has one with the lowest price among other renewable technologies.

1.For me I would choose Solar Energy. Because the Solar energy produces no toxic byproducts, and unlike other energy like fossil fuels , which are largely responsible for the pollution epidemic planet Earth finds itself in, solar power systems don’t add to the climate change problems at all. There is an endless supply of solar power from the sun. In fact, the Earth receives 10,000 times the energy needed to power the planet. This energy is also very accessible because there is virtually no place on Earth that doesn’t have access to the sun. Solar power has been existing for ages, As heat for making hot water, heating buildings and cooking, to take the salt away from sea water and to use sun rays for drying clothes and towels.

2.My family and I have experienced these energy sources like Solar power. Solar Power is used in drying wet towels,clothes and other things. Making see salt drying fish and charging solar power banks without the use of electricity In this way, we don’t need to use high priced land that might be better suited for other applications. Solar power can be very useful in times of brownout or no electricity with only the sun as the source of the energy.

Fossil fuels like gasoline is essential in our transportation gasoline and diesel are non-renewable fuels created from crude oil deposits in the ground or beneath the ocean also we use this natural gas for heating or cooking our foods this energy is also important in our daily life.

I don’t experienced utilizing with wind power, hydropower  and  biomass but i have seen places that uses these energy.

A windmill in The San Lorenzo wind farm in Guimaras  is the second investment of Trans-Asia in Guimaras. It is the first wind energy project that can consistently deliver 100 percent of  capacity to the Visayas grid.The project supplies power to Panay via a new 2.8-kilometer submarine cable connection from Guimaras.

I have seen that Aklan uses biomass as their main source of energy.  The Asea One Power project serves as an ideal case for utilization of mixed fuel types abundant in Asia and Southeast Asia. Expertise in fuel properties gives DP CleanTech the ability to optimize solutions based on available fuel, thus enhancing power plant economies and

According to my research Hydroelectric power plants in the Philippines are located in Pangasinan, Benguet, Laguna, Isabela, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Ilocos Sur, Bohol, Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Davao del Sur, and Misamis Oriental.

My  research and background knowledge in this energy help me analyzing easily. Some of this energy are not familiar to me before but with this current lesson it help me to familiarize and analyze these energy sources.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If I will be given a chance to introduce an energy source to the community it would be the wind energy source because overall it has a reasonable cost, beneficial impacts to both the economy and the environment, and has lesser disadvantages compared to the other given sources of energy. Our country the Philippines has a whole lot of coastal areas where wind turbines are usually located, It can supply our needs when it comes to electricity, it is advantageous on the environment, and it can also serve as a great view on landscapes and sceneries.

2. After the research that was done yesterday it made me realize the fact that there are really a lot of alternatives when it comes to having sources of power for electricity, mechanical energy and many more. It would be great to make the people be aware of this matter especially on emphasizing some unpopular sources of energy such as the hydropower wherein some of it uses waterfalls in order to function, considering that there are a lot of areas in our country that has one that would be helpful to those people who are living in rural places and the wind energy source because of the number of coastal areas in our nation.

1.The sun has risen from the East which gives us another chance to make a difference in the world. If I had to choose an energy system to discuss with my community it would be solar energy because it is renewable energy and is going to be an important source for power generation in the near future, and we can use these resources again and again to produce useful energy. It is pollution-free because according to what I have read, 'clean' industrial processes have no environmental impacts. There will also be no greenhouse gases emitted after installation. It also reduces electricity bills and is efficient for both residential and commercial use. It won’t be expensive because as technology advances, rates drop, and solar power becomes cheaper to produce. Solar panels will still work even when the light is reflected or partially blocked by clouds. It can store solar energy from the past few days and hours to be used depending on its battery bank size. The Rain actually helps to keep the panels operating efficiently by washing away any dust or dirt.

2.I have comprehended that there are a lot of energy sources that can help us in our daily lives by giving us electricity and also have impacted our economy to a good rise and slowly reduced the pollution in our environment. In my experience, after a typhoon, the electricity posts are down, and the good thing is that there is always a sun after the storm and solar panels which will give us energy for electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Well, i think everyone knows what is Solar Energy right?
Solar energy is simply the light and heat that come from the sun.If I had to choose an energy system to tell our community, I would choose the solar energy system, because as i know Solar Energy is one of the most cleanest form of energy as it produces no air and water pollution. We can get this Solar Energy from the sun which provides more energy than we'll ever need, electricity from solar power is a very important energy source in the move to a clean energy production; even though the weather is gloomy or rainy and there is no electricity present, solar panels had already stored solar power from the sun light it collected from the past days or hours which can be used for this situation.

2.After Learning this lesson, it gave me a lot of ideas especially in different sources of energy, by how it works, it's different types, it's environmental and economic impacts and how it is used.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Most of the people in the community uses solar energy and fossil fuels. It is the source of electricity and more. This energy uses mostly on houses and buildings. We can see that we are lacking of more information about energy sources not only the two is the best source but also there are more. So, let me tell about the wind energy.

Wind energy is the one I will choose to tell to the community. It will not harm us because it doesn't give pollutants to the community, it's also good for the farmers because wind power is used for the grinding grain and pumping water. If we can use wind energy in our houses we can surely save electricity. Windd is everywhere and because of that we have unlimited sources. It will be new to us to use this because solar energy is very common use energy source, we can also try to experience and learn new sources.

If you we are to build windmills they are beautiful and majestic but a great help to the community. Using wind energy will not just bring us to save more electricity but also we can have a great tourism if we are to build wind mills  it will help the community to save electricity but also having a great scenery to see.It will be good experience here in our city one day to have a great source of wind energy also because it will be a great help for the community.

2.I have known this type of energy because of the lesson and researches. Mostly I see to every community is using of solar and fossil fuels only few knows about wind energy when you ask them.

I have never experienced wind energy as an energy source, but with the help of studies and researches you can see the I have a knowledge about this energy and analyze it well.In Ilocos and Guimaras where they have windmills uses them to convert wind energy to electricity which is a great help for the people and also for the government to lessen the bills of electricity and be more resourceful.

With the help of some of my knowledge and researches about the lesson it help me to analyze the topic quickly. Because of this I get to have the background how to answer and learn the topic easy. To have an analysis about this topic is very fun and exciting beacuse I learned more.

# data[].attributes.body
Discussion 1. If I had to choose an energy system to tell my community, the system that I would choose is hydropower since it only uses the energy of water without reducing its quantity to produce electricity. Our city is transversed by 5 major rivers namely Jalaur River, Lamunan River, Hin-ayan River, Asisig River and Malinao River (Somo, 2013).Aside from these, there are also a lot of water resources that can be found in our city. We can build hydropower facilities to those water resources that can produce a powerful current, strong enough to produce electricity. By this method, we can be independent enough to produce our own electricity and can’t be reliant in using fossil fuels as our source of energy provided by the powerplants.
Hydropower can’t pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Also, it can generate electricity anytime since water is always available, unlike wind and solar, which are dependent on the time of the day and weather conditions.

Discussion 2. In the Philippines, hydropower is the largest renewable energy source with an actual total share of 20%. I haven’t experience yet using hydropower as an energy source but I read an article that in Mindanao, the lake Lanao is the dominant source of their hydroelectricity.  A hydroelectric plant installed along Lanao Lake and Agus River generates 70% of the electricity used by the people of Mindanao. In our community, we are using fossil fuels to generate our electricity. The use of fossil fuels as source of our energy is very harmful since it can pollute our environment and it is non renewable and unsustainable. The use of wind by using windmill and solar energy is also common in our country. But using these as our source of energy is not continuous since they are only dependent on the time of the day and weather conditions. By these informations, I came up with the idea of using hydropower as an energy source since it has less negative impact in our environment and it can be acquired anytime.

1.If I have the opportunity to tell the community about a energy system I will choose Biomass because Biomass is organic and a renewable energy source. Biomass ultimately gets its energy from the sun since all organic matter contains stored energy from the sun.Biomass is a renewable energy source because its supplies are not limited.  As long as we plant trees and crops we will have resources. Animal waste will always exist as long as the animals exist.Biomass contains little sulfur and nitrogen so it does not produce the pollutants that cause acid rain.
Growing plants for biomass fuels may help keep the earth’s carbon dioxide levels balanced. I can say that Biomass is very good source of energy, it's supplies is not limited and it's also eco-friendly.

2.Biomas can be burned to create heat (direct), converted into electricity (direct), or processed into biofuel (indirect). Example of burning biomass to create direct heat is when you are using wood or coal to cook your food you burn this woods or coal to create heat(direct) to cook your food and I experienced it for so many years.

If you had to choose an energy system to tell your community about based only on your research, which system would you choose?  Why?

If I had to choose an energy system to tell my community, well based on my researches that would be biomass, you ask why?

Well it is because biomass is more abundant almost everywhere. Biomass is an any organic matter which can be used as an energy source. The most abundant organic materials that can be found and converted into an energy source are, wood, agricultural waste, methane, and landfill gases. Biomass ultimately gets its energy from the sun since all organic matter contains stored energy from the sun.

Also, biomass contains little sulfur and nitrogen so it does not produce the pollutants that cause acid rain. Burning either fossil fuels or biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. However, the plants that are the source of biomass for energy capture almost the same amount of CO2 through photosynthesis while growing as is released when biomass is burned, which can make biomass a carbon-neutral energy source. The cons is that when biomass energy leads to pollution that can cause diseases if it is being converted(burned) inadequately such as wood, landfill gases and other waste the emits greenhouse gases and burned.

Biomass energy is currently used all around the world, especially in rural and developing nations and costs $0.09/KWh, but could eventually be as low as $0.05/KWH.

To avoid any causes of diseases and environmental issues, harnessing biomass energy efficiently should be applied.

In which I conclude that biomass will not only benefit our daily lifestyle and pockets but also our environment and ecosystem from waste. So, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

How does your experience influence your analysis of these energy sources?

Well I haven’t experience using biomass as an energy source but, I know a company that uses agricultural waste as their energy source for their factories. In which, they use agricultural waste specifically, bagasse (sugar cane), as their everyday energy source. One of the often overlooked but most promising alternative energy sources is biomass—organic matter that can be used as fuel for running vehicles, generating electricity and many other power needs.

There is a company in San Enrique, Iloilo, Ph that is one of the most established Filipino food and beverage manufacturing companies, is cognizant of such potential especially with its involvement in the sugar industry. According to my research, using bagasse, a byproduct of sugar milling, as fuel for the boiler, the plant produces 36 megawatts of power, of which 20 megawatts go to the national electricity grid.

According to my studies, The Philippines has large and abundant supplies of biomass resources, including agricultural crop residues, forest residues, animal waste, agro-industrial waste, municipal solid waste and aquatic biomass.  The most common agricultural waste is rice hull, bagasse, coconut shell husk and coconut coir.  This use of commercially produced agricultural residues converted into biomass is increasing in the Philippines, as fossil fuel prices continue to rise.

It has been estimated that the volume of residues in the Philippines, from rice, coconut, palm oil, sugar and wood industries is 16 million tons per year.  Bagasse, coconut husks and shell can account for at least 12 percent of total national energy supply.  The World Bank-Energy Sector Management Assistance Program estimated that residues from sugar, rice and coconut could produce 90 MW, 40 MW, and 20 MW, respectively.

The development of agricultural residual recovery systems, the improvement of agro-forestry systems, the introduction of the latest energy conversion technologies, and development of biomass supply chains, will play a major role in biomass energy development in the Philippines.

Even though I do not have a hands-on experience on this, I have many background knowledges and plenty of research, studies that can justify my content on energy sources, its pros and cons and its uses for me to have a thorough analysis on energy sources. I have seen so many places and companies that uses biomass as their energy source like: Manapla, Negros Occidental. Bagac, Bataan. Mina, Iloilo. Maramag, Bukidnon. Alcala, Cagayan. Other municipalities in Mindanao. Misamis Oriental. Lian, Batangas. San Carlos, Negros Occidental. Alicia, Isabela. Aklan, Panay

My background knowledge about these energy sources helped me in analyzing and understanding the topic smoothly. Because of this information that I already know even before the activity was assigned to us, I finished my analysis on the energy sources quickly. It also made me curious about the current lesson (forms of energy sources) which made the analysis of these energy sources knowledgeable.

1.Solar Power. Because this source of energy has the least negative impact on the environment compared to other energy source. Solar power can also be deployed anywhere, this is particularly useful for remote regions with no access to any other source of electricity. According to my research, solar power has already been existing for many years. From drying clothes, fruit and grains, why not taking it a step further and use it to generate electricity for the whole community?

2.In my 16 years of living, me and my family has depended on fossil fuels as our main energy source provided by the power plants. But during typhoons that destroyed the power lines and caused power outage for a long period of time we depended on flashlights that can be charged using the mini solar panel attached to it, and used the flashlight at night. Solar power can be very efficient in times of calamities with only the sun as our source our main source of energy. The sun also provides a limitless amount of energy that can be used by everyone during the day.

Although I do not have first hand experience with biomass, wind power, and hydropower, I have seen places which use these as their main energy source.

A sugar cane company here in San Enrique uses agricultural waste specifically bagasse, the dry residue of sugar cane, to power their plants and the homes of their employees. Other places such as Guimaras in western visayas uses Windmills and a province in Benguet uses their famous Ambuklao Dam as a part of their hydroelectric facility to provide energy to nearby towns or provinces. Not onyl does it provide energy this is also avery unique way to attract tourists and increase the tourism of the community.

With the help of my experience and prior knowledge to the different kinds of energy source my analysis became bery easy. Add that the new knowledge I acquired from research, finishing this activity was easy as pie.

1. Based on my researches and the informations provided, I prefer to choose Solar energy and I will be extremely happy to introduce this kind of source of energy to my community. I choose Solar energy because it is a 100% clean, renewable energy source. It reduces reliance on oil, coal and natural gas for electricity production. In contrast, solar energy produces no pollution. Solar or photovoltaic panels can decrease home's dependency on the main energy grid. Paying electric bills is one of the problems that the family's head always had. But, worry no more! By using solar energy, it can lower your electric bills and as a way of converting the sun's energy into electrical energy, solar panels make use of the single most sustainable resource on the planet, the light of the sun.

2. There is always pros and cons to each energy sources but I would rather choose a more cost-effective and an energy source that does not contribute in adding any greenhouse gases into our environment. Well, solar energy is paving the way to significantly decreasing the emmisions of pollutants. However, renewable source such as wind, Biomass, and hydropower also have environmental and economic impacts that are significant. By understanding the current and potential environmental and economic issues associated with each energy source, we can take steps to minimize these impacts as they become a larger portion of our electric supply.

Discussion 1:
If you had to choose an energy system to tell your community about based only on your research, which system would you choose?  Why?

- If I am to choose an energy system to tell my community, I will choose Biomass energy because in our community, since there is abundance of rice and crops it is a way to use biomass energy. It ultimately gets its energy from the sun. Biomass is a renewable energy source and its supplies aren't limited. As long as we plant trees and crops, we will definitely have sources, we can also get its energy in animal wastes. Animal wastes will exist as long as the animal exist.  The environmental impacts of this energy source is growing plants for biomass fuels may help keep the Earth's carbon dioxide levels balanced.

Discussion 2
How does your experience influence your analysis of these energy sources?

- After discovering and knowing about these energy sources, even I haven't experienced biomass I learned that people can get energy by burning the scrap wood that left over after trees have been trimmed. It's an efficient way to use a resource that might otherwise get thrown away. We just don't get energy sources but also help our environment become healthy, beautiful and clean.

1. I will choose the solar energy beacuse in this this time we've got online classes and often experience power outages. Electricity is very important to education. Solar energy can solve power outages because it has the ability to stor electrucity which is very needed this time so we students can continue studying even with power outages.

2. Use energy and electricity well because not all energy sources are renewable. It though me to conserve energy and electricity because some sources are limited and can affect our environment. So we need to conserve it so the next generation can also experience it.

1.The Philippines has a lot of waterfalls. It's not just a tourist spot, or where people came to swim and have fun, but we can use these waterfalls for hydropower. This is also environmental friendly because we only need the continuous movement of water to create energy. Just like the Maria Christina Falls, this waterfall helped the people a lot.

2. Why don't we use these natural resources to make energy. I was fascinated on how the waterfalls can make such high kinetic energy and it can create electricity. For the rural areas of our country, where waterfalls are mostly located, this can help the people who lives there to have source of electricity.As I read more articles about the hydropower, it impresses me more. Unlike the solar energy, where we need the sun, there are also limitations like, what if it'll rain? Meanwhile, the hydropower only needs the continuous flow of water

1. I think I'd definitely choose the renewable ones, especially solar electric systems. Solar electric systems catch energy directly from the sun—no fire, no emissions. They are also becoming more affordable, accessible, resilient and efficient. Solar offers year-round efficiency and savings, even in colder, cloudy climates. Residential solar energy systems represent an investment in the future of the planet, conserving non-renewable energy sources and protecting the environment.

2. We should always consider everything about these energy sources. Some of them can damage and pollute our environment which will be a total disaster. Although, most electricity is generated from a variety of energy resources and that the energy resources used can vary from place to place, they have also disadvantages that can affect our ecosystem. I believe that we should continue in finding new good alternatives for energy.

1. If you had to choose an energy system to tell your community about based only on your research, which system would you choose?  Why?

People in my community are already aware of the most common and efficient renewable energy source, the solar energy. Most of our community's residents are farmers, so we utilize solar energy a lot, we use it to dry our rice grains. So instead of telling them about the most efficient source of renewable energy, I would rather introduce to them the beauty and power of the winds.

According to my research, wind power is cheap and efficient because wind can never be used up. Though the winds are unpredictable and may not be too constant, I believe that it'll be alright for our community to use it because our area is quite elevated and gradually receives gusts of wind that will be enough to power our area.

Also, I think that building large modern wind turbines will help the tourism of our community, just like the famous wind turbines of Ilocos and Guimaras.

Though wind turbines have lots of disadvantages, it's still a great choice for me.

2. How does your experience influence your analysis of these energy sources?

I have experienced utilizing some of these energy sources. I even studied some of them. Filipinos have been using solar energy for ages, they're using it to dry grains, dry clothes, dry fish, make sea salt, etc. In this generation, Filipinos commonly use solar-powered stuff like calculators, radios, flashlights, etc.

I've seen in photos and websites that the island of Guimaras in Western Visayas and Laoag in the province of Ilocos Norte have been using wind turbines to supply electricity to some areas of their province.

My research team also attempted to conduct a study about biomass, specifically about animal waste, which was unfortunately rejected but because of it, I learned some facts about biomass and where it comes from.

My background knowledge about these energy sources helped me in analyzing and studying the topic swiftly. Because of these information that I already know even before the activity started, I finished my analysis quickly. It also made me curious about the current lesson which made the analysis of these energy sources fun and easy.

Discussion Q1. In my opinion, biomass energy is a viale source of energy in our community since there is an abundance of rice and other crop byproducts that would just be burned on the feilds. Plus it would greatly promote growing plants that can help keep the level of carbon dioxide balanced.

Discussion Q2. Seeing how unnecessary burning of biomass is just cassually done around in our community it makes me want to do something to utilize these biomass instead of just treating them as unnecessary byproducts.

If i were to choose an energy system that our household, community or even our country would use, it would be Solar Energy. Why? You might ask. Well the answer to that answer isn't that complicated. Firstly, where does Solar Energy come from? The answer woukd be the sun and THE SUN would always be there but when it rains or it is goolmy or already night time such solar panels that is used to gather this solar enegergy could store enought power for a subsequent about of time. And even though these solar panels may hurt your pockets at first we should think about how this will affect our lives in the long run, imagine no more spending on electrical bills if all your electricity comes from your installed solar panels and you would even feel much better thinking that you are may not be contributing any pollution through your energy source because Solar Energy is onsidered to be the CLEANEST type of energy source which greatly lessens the increase of air and water pollution and lessens deforestation because we don't need to use this to serve as fuel for electricity production.

2. Based on my experience just thinking about the environment and how it's gradually being destroyed because of pollution abd because of human activities just makes me more worried about the future of our planet. So, we should practice or turn towards a more sustainable lifestyle and learn that there are ways we could still produce electricity and other needs through solar, hydroelectric and wind energy which would make a very positive inpact not only on our lives but also in preserving nature and its beauty and importance.

1. If a had to choose an energy system, it would be Solar energy, because solar energy comes from the sun and is one of the cleanest forms of energy as it produces no air or water pollution. It is a renewable energy source. It can be harnessed in all areas of the world and is available every day. Solar energy systems do not really require a lot of maintenance. We cannot run out of solar energy, unlike some of the other sources of energy. We will use the solar energy provided as light by turning it into electricity, in this case we can reduce the electricity bill and save more money.

2.
All of these different sources of energy are used primarily to produce electricity.
These alternative energy sources would surely help people especially those who are living in rural areas. And if we continue improving the ways to harness these energy sources, it would probably improve our community. After all, we always strive for excellence and continuous improvement, right?

1.)
The sun will always be there every morning when we wake up. Solar energy is very cheap if used in the long run, it might be costly at first when you acquire solar cells but if you think deeper than that it would save a lot of money. Not only that solar energy is the cleanest form of energy it is also very reliable - no power shortage, reduced bills, low maintenance cost and it will surely boost economy. Imagine the places which used to have no electricity at all could have light when they eat dinner or the establishments that always experience power shortage could serve their clients better.

2.)
I’m very amazed of solar powered devices like radio, flashlights and etc. Just put them under the sun and they function pretty much well, clean, efficient, and free! I also am amazed of natural ways to make electricity like Hydro and Wind power because not only that they do not harm the environment they are also so cheap.

Discussion 1).
If I have an opportunity to choose an energy system to provide energy to our country, I would choose hydropower. It is because, in order to produce hydropower energy we only need a body of water that has a continuous flow of water, a turbine, and a Microhydro-Electric System. And also, the energy source (water) is free. This can help to reduce our independence on foreign oil and can also help to reduce pollution.

Discussion 2).
After reading some articles about energy source, I came up with an idea that what if we use our natural resources to generate energy? I was fascinated on how a body of water like waterfalls can generate electricity. This can surely help people who are located in places that have no source of energy.

1. I would choose solar energy because Solar energy has been proven to be the most efficient and effective among renewable energy sources for home and commercial use and has the least negative impact on the environment compared to other energy sources. Solar Energy has been used for ages from drying our clothes, fruit and grains so for me it’s better to use it to generate electricity for the whole community.

2. I have experienced some of these energy source in the years of living. People have been using solar energy for ages for there homes and is very useful when it comes  to calamities cause the sun is its main source. I also know some places uses wind turbine to generate electricity like in the island of Guimaras and Province of Ilocos Norte though i have not experienced biomass I learned some facts about and where it comes from.

Answering this activity was easy because of the help of my experience and prior knowledge about the topic. I learned a lot in answering this activity.
