REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Learn More About Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?

Greg Aarón 4/04/2019 11:52 AM

La energía geotérmica tiene potencial en lugares que tienen volcanes. México es un país que tiene mucho potencial en energía geotérmica debido a que tenemos algunos volcanes activos en la sierra madre occidental y en el eje neovolcánico.
Justo ahora, no podría invertir con dinero, pero podría investigar cómo funciona la energía geotérmica y ver puntos clave del país que estén a mi alcance económico y en tiempo.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Buildings and Cities Go for a Daily Walk

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

Greg Aarón 4/04/2019 11:45 AM

En mis caminatas diarias, lo que me gustaría es el habilitamiento de ciclopistas donde la circulación es fluida y las calles son amplias.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Learn More about Wave and Tidal Energy

What did you learn about wave and tidal energy? Were you surprised by the information you found?

Greg Aarón 3/23/2019 2:08 PM

Me di cuenta del enorme potencial que tiene la energía de las mareas y de las olas. Ya sea con turbinas o con osciladores, son una gran alternativa en cuanto a energías limpias se refiere. No emiten cantidad alguna de CO2 en su utilización y además, no dañan al medio ambiente ni al ser humano, por lo que creo que es importante que le demos la oportunidad a este tipo de energía y comencemos a investigar y a invertir más, por que, de verdad, tiene mucho potencial.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Learn More about Biomass

Had you ever heard of biomass techonology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share this with your friends!

Greg Aarón 3/23/2019 1:55 PM

Sí, si he escuchado acerca de la biomasa. Lo que me sorprendió, por que realmente no lo había visto de esa manera, es que, efectivamente, el uso de biomasa es una energía de transición entre los combustibles fósiles y las energías más limpias. Sin embargo, creo que la biomasa tiene algunas otras ventajas más, como por ejemplo, que sus residuos se pueden aprovechar.
