The paper I am most enjoying working on is the multi model presentation paper. It is about oil. I am taking a stand that is against oil. It is not because I hate oil it is because I know that we need to find other power sources. Pollution from using oil is bad, but again not the only reason I don't like the thought of using oil. I take my stand against oil in the paper because I like seeing all this new technology that seems to new and somewhat magic. One example of magic like technology is the hydrogen car. It burns hydrogen instead of gas. Instead of dumping pollution out into the air like gas it would only emit water as a waste. Solar panels have been around for a while as well. Even though I have seen and even used them since a child (on calculators) they still seem so new and almost magic how light can be turned into energy to be used how we see fit. While these forms of renewable energy sources are cool they have also been around for a while.
Seeing and hearing of new technology and ideas that can help generate power is also really cool. About a year ago I was watching the discovery channel and they were talking about a project to put turbines in a river and let the flow of the river turn the generators to make power. Thats something I had never thought of. Using old technology in new ways to make them more effective is really cool.
