Energy For The Future
Kanyon Hartley
Overview
- The energy from the sun is recovered by solar panels.
- This is considered renewable because we will never run out of sunshine as long as the human race is alive.
- The energy from the wind is recovered by turbines .
- This is considered renewable because wind is caused by uneven heating of the earth's surface, which is caused by the sun.
- The energy from water is recovered by hydro-power dams.
- This is considered renewable because we will always have a river to build a dam in.

Persuasive Paragraph
- This paragraph is about solar energy.
- Solar energy is the reason we are all alive today; it is the main source of energy for all life forms.
- Solar power is one of very few sources of energy that are completely free.
- Only 0.01% of the energy produced by nuclear fusion in the sun PER SECOND would be needed to satisfy the entire population of the earth’s energy requirements.
- This is the energy of the future because it's free and it doesn't put out ozone.
- Why aren't people using solar energy yet? They are, just you have to pay to get them installed which costs a lot of money.
