Happy Opening Day

Last night was the opening night for the NBA!!

The Miami Heat won over the Chicago Bulls, ruining Derek Rose’s return from injury.

 

But the real news….the Lakers beat the Clippers. Why is this the real news? Because it was a big win for a team without it’s star over a team full of stars. The game showed that players can come together as a team and can beat a team of individuals. Oh yeah and the Lakers are Mr. Altamirano’s favorite team.

Good luck to the Wizards tonight!!!

hydro power vs. solar energy

When I first started I was using hydro power then I went to solar energy because solar energy is far by the most earths available energy solar and solar is made from the sun and hydro power is made from water the sun is better because went the sun goes down were well be no more ride to go on at the fair and the cost for solar energy is 0.16 and the cost for hydro power is 0.09 I thank the cost for solar energy is more than hydro and hydro powers earth contains hot water. People us water more than 2,000 years. In 1880’s scientists learned that flowing river to and I put in the cost that 7% in us electricity 29%

hydropower

HYDROPOWER

 

Well people that

do hydropower pick up water and make it into energy

Or electricity. While hydropower creates almost no

Pollution it can cause changes to the environment that

Affect animals and plants. People can get water and make it

Into electricity. Hydropower is the renewable energy

Source that produces the most electricity in the

United States. About 7% total US electricity

Generation and 56% of generation from all renewable

In 2012. Hydroelectric dam are expensive to build.

wind power

Wind is destructive but also productive. Wind operate many part of the world. No electricity is required for wind power. People around the world still use wind power. Wind cost 9 cents per hour also wind is generated when the wind blows and hit a metal pole called turbines

solar vs fossil fuels

Solar energy is used, space heating of building, dry agricultural product and generating electrical energy. What is solar energy? Solar energy comes from the sun. The radiation of the sun is captured in solar panels that are exposed to sun light. The cost of the solar is 16 to 25 cents. I think is the less information because it is about coal I will do a demonstration coal is one of our most valuable natural recourses. Coal is our most abundant and lowest cost fuel. For making electricity. New technology is making it cleaner.

Wind energy

Wind energy is a clean energy. It is powered by wind turbines. Wind energy does not pollute the environment. If wind energy is powered its power gets stronger every second. A thick cable in the wind turbines collects wind energy and produces it into electricity. There’s also a general electric 1.5 megawatt machine that powers wind energy .big wind turbines are slow and small wind turbines are fast but big wind turbines are stronger because of the winds pressure so that’s why big wind turbines are stronger it can be as strong as 90 or 100 miles per hour.

BIOMASS

Biomass is a great renewable energy made by plans anlmal wast  and backtera. They put it in a jar that is how you make it. It cost as little as 12 cences an hour and its amazing. It is very powerful.

HYDROPOWER vs. WIND POWER

Well I think you should pick hydropower

Because people need electricity. People

Need electricity because people can’t see with no lights so we get water and make it into energy or electricity. While hydropower creates almost no pollution it can cause changes to the environment that affect animals and plants. People

Can get water and make it into electricity.  Wind power

Is bad because it can create tornado and hurricanes.

People like snow but they don’t like when the

Wind is too hard.  People don’t like when the

Wind is too cold because have colds and some

People freeze to death.
