This short clip called Alternative Energy was posted on YouTube by national geographic. It discusses many of the things discussed in my former blogs, but it gives a visual and some methods to solve the “energy crisis” as this video would call it. National geographic used a very credible source, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In the video solar power, wind energy, and ethanol fuel from corn are discussed.
This video provides information on the technology being used today to solve the energy crisis and find better means to harness alternative energy mediums. Although the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is a great place doing groundbreaking research, no comments are made on the costs of these experiments or what the cost of how these alternative means of energy will be on average, everyday Americans looking to be more eco-friendly. The video suggests that until the majority of people are using alternative means of energy there will be no significant change in the use of fossil fuels in America. therefore the makers of the video did not find in necessary to discuss the expense implications that will be placed on Americans when this takes place, whether they are small or large. The video does a good job of showing new means of energy, but needs to be more factual and lengthened.
