Small Problems

We live in a world where technology is developing every day. The problem with new environmental technology as I see it is it is expensive and scientists are not sure what the consequences will be. All of the technology I have listed so far works. It uses alternative energy rather burning more fossils fuels. Of course there are problems with technology.

Solar panels: The obvious problem is they need a lot of sun. During the cloudy months this will not work. But even if you are able to use the panels for some of the year you are still saving.

Wind Turbines: Require wind. The coast would be a great place for these. Maybe these huge devices are not that attractive but using the wind is a great way to save money.

Hydroelectricity: Requires a river and a dam. Pollution could be an issue. Depends are the company controlling the dam.

My point is that there are problems with technology, but a small thing can make a difference. More problems to come.

  1. I agree. Everything is not perfect. There are flaws with each and every object out there in the world. but the important thing is to look at the benefits...be optimistic!
