The BBC documentary over 100 % renewable energy lays the foundation of the research and project. The documentary covers the immediate problem of the degradation of the environment due to the burning of fossil fuels. Additionally, the solution of using 100% renewable energy to preserve our environment is discussed. The documentary is reliable and contains factual information, as it was created by a trusted company. The documentary serves to expose those who take advantage of the environment for economic gains, and the negative impacts of pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels. Through the documentary, viewers are reminded that environmental degradation is not a problem for the future, but an immediate problem that must be solved as rapidly as possible. It is stated that “In an economy burdened by the cost of increasingly scarce oil and natural gas and a planet already feeling the impact of fossil fuel driven climate change, technological revolution of our time is renewable energy.”]]> 2016-05-25 16:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112554285 laurakateschulze https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112554390 The second source I used in the Annotated Bibliography emphasized both sides of what goes into the Earth that can potentially harm it, as well as the other side, which explains that renewable energy is the best possible solution to keep the world alive and well.

The source was not biased and did not pick one side over another, it was very useful and helpful. It was easy to understand, and really highlighted key issues and credible solutions to solve the problem.
 
The whole source is structured in a way that when one thing is said, the opposite side is said as well.

 The information is reliable because it is news, it has to be the best possible ideas and solutions that can not be biased at all. It's facts after facts, rather than one opinion after another. 

There is specific examples for each side but one side stands superior to the other, because of what is happening and how it affects the world.]]> 2016-05-25 16:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112554390 razan_afghani_159 https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112554682 The last source I used in the Annotated Bibliography depicted how the use of non-renewable energy sources (such as nuclear energy, coal, and petroleum) also used up the available fresh water on Earth. However, an advantage deemed ‘insurmountable’ has been the fact that solar power does not use vast amounts of fresh water to create energy. Nor does it the pollute the water that is used. 

When reading the article I got my research from, Renewable Energy World, the speaker said: "Solar is the only energy generation technology that does not utilize (and pollute) vast amounts of fresh water. This is a key advantage that is seldom mentioned. However, it is without question, an advantage that is insurmountable." The most important and most noticeable point the speaker is trying to make is that non-renewable energy is hurting the environment in more than just CO2 emissions, it's hurting our drinking water, too.

The environmental issue is the use of fossil fuels, which is constantly polluting and toxicating the Earth. A solution of 100% renewable energy is necessary due to the fact that fossil fuels are finite, and the continued use of fossil use will harm the Earth permanently. With 100% renewable energy a cost-efficient, clean alternative, there is no reason for the alternative energy sources to be neglected. The destruction of the environment is happening more rapidly than ever, and the environmental problems are in the present. No longer are the problems starting and will become serious in the future. The issue must be addressed here and now, and the global stage must unite in the form of 100% renewable energy in order to preserve the Earth for generations to come.]]> 2016-05-25 16:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112556374 laurakateschulze https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112556401 http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/alternative-energy]]> 2016-05-25 16:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112556401 john_hwang_858 https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112557366 The first source used after the documentary in the Annotated Bibliography serves as a complete overall summary of the issue of fossil fuels, the solution of 100% renewable energy, and steps that are being taken on the global stage to help the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources. 

The main arguments of this article is that the continued use of fossil fuels will not only result in the running out of the finite resource, but the permanent damage of our environment. This will in turn leave behind a toxic Earth for future generations. The topics covered in this article are fossil fuels, pollution, the environment, and 100% renewable energy. The article is about turning to the readily available energy source that is renewable energy. 

Humanity is treading towards a slow doom with our nations’ continued reliance on a dirty, finite resource that is fossil fuel.The article is an extremely useful source, as it reviews everything over renewable energy. It provides a foundation of knowledge about renewable energy, and recent events related to the energy source. The article is very compatible with other sources in the bibliography, and complements the other articles about similar topics. 

The information is very reliable, as the article comes from a Texas environmental organization that is nonprofit and is objectively caring for the environment. The source is objective, as the article is strictly stating facts and releasing events about fossil fuels and renewable energy. The goal of this source is to educate the reader about renewable energy, and the possibility of its widespread use in the world.

Solar energy is the most reliable because it offers just as much energy, but has a better effect on the world. Even when compared to other renewable sources, solar energy is the most efficient and non-intrusive on the environment.]]> 2016-05-25 16:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112559568 john_hwang_858 https://padlet.com/john_hwang_858/5oiszvliu7re/wish/112561166 Http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiUScPUDlDAUU9dXy0AQYxg.
