Summary
This article talks about hydroelectric energy and the process of moving water to create power. Hydroelectric energy has been used for thousands of years. Turbines and water mills are two main sources of hydroelectricity and have provided energy for us for many years. The article discusses the fact that to create energy the flow of water must be controlled and the step by step process of how water travels through turbines to generators to produce electricity is discussed.
Reaction
In my opinion, hydroelectric energy is the future of energy source. It causes very little if any pollution, and is quite efficient. Once the world actually gets the idea of how to set up a hydroelectric energy generator using turbines and controlling the water, it can create a tremendous amount of energy without barely any negative effects or damages to an environment.
Summary
This article is about Nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the energy that comes from the core of an atom. The nucleus of an atom can hold a extreme amount of energy. The article discusses how nuclear energy can be used to produce electricity. It discussed that in the process of producing energy from an atom. This process is called nuclear fission. A nuclear power plant is several machines that can control nuclear fission to produce electricity.
Reaction
In my past classes, we talked about the effects of nuclear energy, and the pollution it can start up. We also learned about the benefits of nuclear energy, and we compared them to other energy sources, such as hydroelectric energy and geothermal energy. I also learned that nuclear energy is the least effective energy source to use because of the dangerous chemicals in releases, and the efficiency of the energy that it produces.
