Rhetorical Analysis Green Energy Alternative energy, renewable energy, energy conservation, whatever the word may be; they all can be described with one word: green energy. So much is being done to conserve energy, like making electrical cars that will reduce gas emissions so that it won't clog up the Earth’s ozone, and changing all light bulbs to fluorescent bulbs, and using nuclear power for energy or wind turbines for energy and also solar panels for energy. This topic is interesting because it

Green Energy As we continue to live our busy lives, we fail to notice the ‘sleeping’ computer on our desk, or the phone charger that’s still on the outlet long after charging our power hungry smartphones or even the small power on light on our Dolby 7.1 Surround System that we have hooked up to our 60 inch TV’s. When we buy appliances at our local electronics, energy consumption never makes a difference on our purchase. After all, we want the largest televisions, the most powerful smartphones,

Wind Energy; Providing New Energy and New Complaints The history of energy has an extensive timeline that goes back further than 700,000 B.C.E, to when humans first generated fire (Weart et al., 2011). As time would show, our fascination and subsequent need for energy became a massive industry across the globe. The demand for energy led us to look for alternative methods, and thus the use of coal, oil, natural gas, petroleum and nuclear energy in the 1950s. With our energy-consumed minds set on
