@CharlotteLapoi9 agreed! #Phys273 Also taking less time in the hot shower and switching to LED lightbulbs 😘

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Grateful for this course in contributing to my understanding of the science relating to climate change. This will allow me a more enlightened perspective in making socially, economically and environmentally conscience decisions in the future. #Phys273 #ClimateChange

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

@VivianForero3 I agree! And a shift in public perception/understanding of nuclear energy. :) #Phys273 #NuclearEnergy

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

@velupallai my pleasure! #Phys273

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Bill Gates discusses nuclear energy as a solution for climate change... Do you agree? #Phys273 #NuclearEnergy #Lesson8

[Netflix @netflix]

Bill Gates thinks the nuclear option could help solve climate change

@ChrisOtaki lmao no stress mate just a question, if you don't know the answer no need to reply 😋 #Lesson6

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

@ChrisOtaki does this negatively impact aquatic life? #Lesson6 #SolarEnergy

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

@DisantePaolo Lol! For sure :)

I just realized that plankton eats a hologram because he gains energy through photosynthesis #phys273 #renewableenergy #fossilfuels

its crazy how much cheaper photovoltaic solar cells have gotten in the past decades! From $90/W (1975) to $0.95/W (2012), a significant decrease! They've probably continued to get cheaper since 2012 & it's really encouraging to see renewable sources of energy becoming accessible.

Do any of you have PV installations on your homes? I don't, but this is something I will be researching more in the future! #Lesson6 #SolarEnergy

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Only 1% of Canada's electricity generation is solar. #Lesson6 #SolarEnergy

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

The cost of solar energy has been decreasing significantly over the past several decades... Do you guys feel this trend will continue? #Lesson6 #SolarEnergy 🌞🔌

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

#Lesson6 #SolarEnergy Further explanation of solar panels 🌞😃

I was shocked to find out that in Canada only 1% of electricity generation is solar. That is super low! #lesson6

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

The sun is our most abundant renewable energy resource #Lesson6 🌞 #SolarEnergy

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Have never heard of the term 'prosumer' before haha. Do any of you guys utilize solar PV? #Lesson6 #SolarPhotovoltaics 🌞➡️⚡️💡🔌

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Learned that there is 10, 000 times more solar energy coming to Earth's surface than our global annual fossil fuel demand #Lesson6 #PhotovoltaicElectricity 🤯🌞

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

There are two types of solar energy discussed in #Lesson6: active solar energy and passive solar energy.

[maddybell @maddybe72401647]

Solar Thermal technologies capture the heat energy from the sun and use it for heating and/or the production of electricity #Lesson6 #SolarThemal #CSP
