Also, they are unreliable and vary between seasons. If we did use wind energy, it is renewable and would need many materials like iron, wood, pipes, nuts and bolts, etc. which can be hard to find in an apocalypse. Because of the lack of wind, and inconvenience, we would probably not use wind as a energy source.]]> 2017-10-17 22:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/theresadeana/cpck5jlnwa4r/wish/198046555 erinfinnigan https://padlet.com/theresadeana/cpck5jlnwa4r/wish/198047654 Australia is the 2nd biggest coal exporter in the world, so we can survive off of their fossil fuels in addition to the solar panels. Coal is non-renewable, so we can run out but when we do, we will have the solar systems up and running making enough energy.
