1) One of the reasons more renewable energy sources are not built is because of a factor called "NIMBY"- "Not In My Backyard". Some people do not like the look of these energy sources.
a) How would you feel if you had to see one of these renewable energy power sources in your backyard? ]]> 2021-05-05 08:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_summa/ohua2hnt46s46oyg/wish/1492990913 mark_summa https://padlet.com/mark_summa/ohua2hnt46s46oyg/wish/1509677382 In the comments below, post a link to a news article you found online (a Google News search for "alternative energy" will work) and a short summary of the article you read! Try to post something unique compared to your classmates' posts. Feel free to narrow your search to an alternative energy that is of high interest to you.]]> 2021-05-10 15:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_summa/ohua2hnt46s46oyg/wish/1509677382
