The second most used energy source is natural gas. ]]> 2018-02-16 16:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/232414738 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233408168 "Our energy future depends on efficiency, conservation, and the development of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources." ]]> 2018-02-20 17:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233408168 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233408619 A more sustainable future for our world depends on our country using a collection and a variety of energy resources depending on location and accessibility. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233408619 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233409642 I use a variety of energy resources, but most, if not all of them, are nonrenewable. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233409642 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233410097 I use oil to fuel my car. I use natural gas for the heating of my home. I use a variety of sources for the electricity of my home. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233410097 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233411252 One of the easiest and most common way we conserve energy and reduce our transportation energy expenditures is by finding alternatives to traveling. This could be by carpooling or deciding to walk/bike to wherever you are going. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233411252 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233413503 2018-02-20 17:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233413503 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233413987 Since one single energy source will not be the answer to our energy crisis, I believe we must find a variety of energy resources depending on your location and accessibility to certain resources.]]> 2018-02-20 17:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233413987 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233414800 I think our government needs to implement more legislation and give subsidies that encourage the use of solar power. We need to make it cheaper and easier for people to invest in this renewable energy source. Country's like Germany have democratized solar power which is something we could realistically do in states that get a high concentration of UV Rays year round. ]]> 2018-02-20 17:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233414800 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233416157 I also think wind power is a source of energy I think we should continue to expand on. It is rapidly growing, but I believe we can grow even more. This source of energy is completely renewable and has very few cons compared to some other options.]]> 2018-02-20 18:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233416157 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233417058 I think we need to also expand our research on energy resources especially when it comes to hydrogen cell power and also biomass. I think the more we research it the more knowledge we will have on whether or not we should use it and how we can potentially integrate it into our society.]]> 2018-02-20 18:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233417058 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233421997 2018-02-20 18:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/233421997 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/234770559 I am going to make an infographic as my visual because I am going to use that to help me present in my TED talk at the end. I think I will open my TED talk with some shocking statistics. ]]> 2018-02-23 16:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/234770559 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/234772496 We aren't using enough energy from renewables like hydropower, wind, and solar. This is because our country hasn't made it easy to use these resources. Solar power for example has very high initial costs which many times deters people from investing in this source. ]]> 2018-02-23 16:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/234772496 kaylamon6958 https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/236503555 2018-02-28 16:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylamon6958/1jbjb7icw7cn/wish/236503555
