- I was surprised to see how little wind power we use as a nation. Only 0.26 percent is wind energy. Another thing that was unsettling was their inefficiency. The turbines are only able to generate 30% of their maximum output.
2. Describe one thing that surprised you about an energy source that another team presented.
- With solar power, the fact that there is direct as well as indirect solar power. I never thought of solar power having an effect on water/hydro power in the way that rain is generated from water that has been originally evaporated by the sun.
3. Describe and defend what you believe to be the most important technological need regarding energy.
- I definitely feel as though solar energy is the most important source of energy, however we are not doing all we can to develop it to the fullest. Another thing that is holding us back is the cost. Not to mention the tax that is being implemented by oil companies for not relying heavily on oil.
