Transparent solar technology represents 'wave of the future'

      Nature Energy scientists report a new transport technology will have the ability access unused energy and could store as much power as the big solar panels. The panels are said to be able to be applied to windows of a home. Michigan State University engineering researchers had figure that with these transparent solar applications and the rooftop solar panels, the U.S. would meet high demands of electricity and reduce the use of fossil fuels drastically. Richard Lunt, the Johansen Crosby Endowed Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at MSU said, "Highly transparent solar cells represent the wave of the future for new solar applications." The product was researched and engineered by Michigan State University, and the Richard Lunt, a member of MSU, will try to sell the product as the "future" so others can feel it is needed.

    I was surprised that this type of technology has been created and i think that it is pretty interesting. Instead of having to use big bulky solar panels, instead they can be put inside people's windows. Not only will it be cheaper but will reduce our amount of fossil fuels that we use. I think that this could change the way electric is used and may eventually be the only energy source we use.

    I think that this is an amazing idea if everyone would participate in it. If everyone could get solar panels, even these new small ones, we could greatly decrease the amounts of fossil fuels that our country uses. I hope that we are able to develop this idea and have it become a reality.

    This is good information that would really convince someone who is looking at participating in this. Would save a lot of money and could make our environment cleaner.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
