REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationWhat inspiration and wisdom can you gather from your family, faith, or community traditions that would help you in both communicating about and addressing our most pressing energy issues?
Christopher Lodi 4/24/2019 5:44 AMI think that the results are going to be the most impactful for how we can press to address our energy issues. By presenting facts about the ways that we can gather energy, without spending as much money, it has an impact on the community because everyone wants to benefit in some way -
Christopher Lodi 4/24/2019 5:41 AMLast day! Going to finish strong. -

Christopher Lodi 4/21/2019 9:00 AMNot many challenges are left for me to do. But I'm still progressing with these dailies. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Christopher Lodi 4/19/2019 6:59 AMThere aren't many tall buildings in my city. The only places I can really think of that could use these turbines is the high school and the possible commercial shopping buildings that are located in downtown. -
Christopher Lodi 4/19/2019 4:54 AMAnother set of challenges to be completed today -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationGeothermal 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?
Christopher Lodi 4/18/2019 9:32 AMI could advocate for geothermal by contacting my state representatives saying how I support Massachusetts investing, or developing strategies to ensure that geothermal energy could potentially be used here. -
Christopher Lodi 4/18/2019 7:00 AMI will spend 60 minutes today to continue my learning -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationWhat is the most exciting solution you explored? Why is it exciting to you?
Christopher Lodi 4/17/2019 6:00 AMI think the most exciting solution that I explored was India increasing its biomass energy. The reason for this is because, there are over 1.3 billion people in India. With that amount of people, biomass could be harnessed an extraordinary scale, resulting in massive potential energy collection. -
