 * Hi Group 5,
 * This is looking good. Start proofing.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

To Do Sethleneelliott sorry guys, I am having a brain fart for this. Should I pick points from what you put up as examples, because I don't want to jibber needless info. That would be made of fail. D: I'm thinking mention regions and each region's best solution and worst problem, but not go into detail?
 * Flesh out overview at the top with the group's argument about local solutions for global problems


 * Standardize the subsections from continent to continent
 * Terminal solutions section
 * Organize footnotes


 * Hi, Group 5,
 * You'll be workshopping on week 7.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Hey guys, sorry I'm putting up our outline a little late, but here it is. - Chelseapurcella

HISTORY

-All sources of energy in general

-What caused the need for alternative energy

-Sources of energy:
 * Fossil Fuels/ Coal 1769-Watt creates steam engine, 1830 "Rocket" is first effective steam locomotive
 * Nuclear Energy
 * Hydropower peak-1765 spinning jenny- Hargreaves
 * Windpower windmills...
 * Solar Energy Pre-1780-1860 industrial revolution in England
 * Bio-based Energy 1650 considered high point of farming

CONTEMPORARY SITUATIONS (Global Warming/ Lack of Resources)

Why this type of energy is best for this region. -Keep in mind the social, political, and economic effects.
 * North America- Nathan and Tim
 * South America- Nathan
 * Europe- Jerilee
 * Asia- Jerilee
 * Oceania- Chelsea
 * Africa- Chelsea
 * Antarctica- Tim

-Research the history of each energy from within the continent's history.

Viewpoint 1: Solutions according to what best suits which continent, which ever the energy source is.

Viewpoint 2: Solutions according to what best suits which continent, but is best for the environment.

Viewpoint 3: Global solutions.

SOLUTIONS

-The companies working towards safe and clean energy

-Final decision on each region's best source of energy


 * Hi Group 5,
 * I was thinking about your project yesterday; NPR is doing a series on the U.S. energy grid, and it has a lot to do with your project I think--your thesis, that we should focus on local solutiohs, runs contrary to the emerging empahsis of the Obama administration, who is trying to find national solutions by updating our power distribution grid.
 * Here's the contents of the whole series.
 * Here's the one I heard on the radio.

Im on here I think? I hope .Timothymcinnis

You are Tim, :D. Ok, so I found a cool site that has more than just stuff I can use. I hope the link works:

http://www.eia.doe.gov/

I'll put more when I find it!

I am so happy that I got on, I looked at the site and it has so much info It will take sometime to read it but will print out as much as is needed.Timothymcinnis

If you can people, look at the web sites that Steven gave us. It has some intresting info we can use also here is a site about natural gas OilGasArticles.com For China I found-http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30440785/ and GoGreenSolar.com let me know in class if anyone found something that can b used.Timothymcinnis

Sethleneelliott Sorry I missed the meeting! I got distracted and spaced hard-core. This is what I have and I am working on more now! (05/16 5:41pm)

History

In the early days humans had simple lives, fed by simple desires, fueled by simple means- simple, but difficult. They had the sun and natural hot-springs to warm and comfort them. They had plants and animals to feed on. They had the rivers and winds to guide them away to far off places. To find and interact with each other was their prime directive, and nothing else was more difficult, more trying, than that. So humans developed what they had, and learned from, and made ways to accomplish their directives and desires with less difficulty. As the difficulties eased away, so too did the simplicities. As humans grew to understand their needs and wants, so the requirements of resources grew to meet their demands. As interaction with each other and the world in which they lived became as demanding of the people as the people were of the engagements, the demand for energy to perpetuate the movements grew as well. No longer was the sun enough to warm them and light their way, as travels into darker and less known places of the earth and themselves evolved. No more would the winds, the rivers, and the herds guide their imaginations, when they could imagine something more over the horizons. While populations grew in parallel with resource and energy demands to fuel them, the human mind empowered its self further with continued desires of success and ideas to perpetuate its growth. This would be the pattern by which the modern framework of supply and demand cam e to call on the energy sources of our world today.

Bibliography?

http://www.need.org/needpdf/infobook_activities/ElemInfo/HistoryE.pdf kinda lame, but it backs stuff. ^^; http://www.fi.edu/learn/case-files/energy.html considerably better, and more backing.

I still need to check the history book in the library out so I can nab dates for the specific fuel sources listed. Sorry this is taking me so long. Swamped. D:
