A Brighter Future By: Student C
What Will Be Discussed? • How America may end up to be. • The consumption of fossil fuels and their disruption of the Ozone layer. • The Rebuttal. • Automotive companies, The Oil Industry, and Renewable Energy Sources.
Let’s Start From The End Could modern-day China become the United States of America? Thebrispost.com
The Ozone Layer and Fossil Fuels • The Ozone layer is an area of the atmosphere which is, obviously, comprised of ozone, which helps block harmful light rays produced by the sun. • Fossil fuel emissions are generally comprised of heavy amounts of CO2 and N2O. CO2 reflects head and N2O degrades the Ozone layer. Both are linked to serious negative outcomes. Renewable Energy
The Rebuttal The Oil and Automotive Industry Is Renewable Energy Feasible For America? Turner Is it possible to supply all of America’s energy needs with renewable energy? • The oil and the automotive industries are backed up by advocates who try to weasel out of providing America with soluble excuses. They claim it’s far too expensive, and that technology doesn’tprovide the right tools.
Automotive Companies Current Automotive Excuses Tesla Motors TeslaMotors.com The Model S can provide a battery that can withstand an average of 265 miles in one full charge. Tesla has just recently announced that it has exceeded expectations for profits. • Technology does not support the switch to zero-emission vehicles. • It’s not worth investing into.
Thedailygreen.com The Oil Industry The oil industry is a large market, but the alternative energy market can compete. Needing positions such as engineers, researchers, and scientists.
Can Renewable Energy Supply America’s Needs? Of course it can. Wind power, Hydropower, and Solar power combined can take on the challenge. Wind power uses fans that spin to generate energy, which is perfect for small towns. Hosansky
Hydropower and Solar Power These two methods of obtaining renewable energy provide support for large scale and small scale consumption. Hydropower can power very large cities. Solar power can help with small scale projects, like homes.
Conclusion • America has serious potential to become a wasteland for pollution. • The automotive industry should follow in the footsteps of Tesla and create more zero-emission cars. • The renewable energy market can compete with the oil industry with proper funding. • When combined, hydropower, wind power, and solar power can help supply America’s energy demands.
