As you can see you should  use solar energy to power a ride because solar energy is the earths most available resource because it can be found anywhere in the sunshine. Second of all because the sun is outside most of the time. Except when it is raining are snowing. But I don’t think adults would let their kids in the rain are snow. Third of all  because it doesn’t take a long time to travel from earth to the sun, 8 minutes. Finally also because solar energy has a minimal impact on the environment. Also because it is renewable. It also helps because it can help the environment by reducing the needs to burn fossil fuels. This is why in my opinion you should use solar energy to power an amusement park ride.
