1. Exploratory
Probe basic facts and
knowledge found in the reading. (What
research evidence supports _________? Type up several facts and basic knowledge from the reading.
Relate this to what you find in other resources, prior activities for stronger
scores.))
Silicon Ranch solar
project is spread over 135 acres of land. The project generates 43,000MWH
electricity and supplies. It provides clean energy to power 3,000 households. Silicon’s
Ranch services to utilities, industrial facilities, governmental agencies,
military and defense facilities, education institutions and commercial businesses.
2. Diagnostic
Probe motives or causes. (Why?
(Tell your
reader why this occurs. Explain the causes in detail.))
The motive for this project
is to customized renewable energy, carbon and battery storage solutions. To
provide clean affordable renewable energy to communities. Part of the motives
to bring this project into place is also the fact of utilities around the country
have closed. The panels that they use are thinner than what most solar panels
companies use, the panels follow the sun through out the day.
3. Cause and Effect
Causal relationships between
ideas, actions, or events. (If __________
occurs, what happens?)
The Silicon Ranch project
has been able to provide to about 8500 customers clean and renewable energy.
The Silicon Ranch project makes affordable to customer to allow them to have
clean and renewable energy. Silicon’s Ranch services to utilities, industrial
facilities, governmental agencies, military and defense facilities, education
institutions and commercial businesses.
4. Priority
Seek to identify the most
important issue. (What is the most
important issue?)
The most important issue that
Silicon Ranch Project is tackling is affordable clean renewable energy for the environment.
This project also provides scholarships to college students that want to pursue
a career in the solar industry. This project wants to preserver the use of
fossil fuels avoids depleting of natural resources.
5. Application
Probe for relationships
and connect theory to practice. (How does
this apply to you? How is this related to culture as we have studied so far?)
This applies to me because
once all the natural resources are depleted there is no way of getting them
back. The use of an alternative energy resource is a benefit to me is that I can
get affordable renewable clean energy. As a culture this as helps not only me
but those around me and those that are in the states that coal burning is still
occurring. This would help with all the health issues that families and workers
are facing today for a little amount of electricity that is received by burn coal.
It would also help the environment with all the pollution that is occurring
when burning coal.
6. Critical
Analyze how this
challenges your thinking/assumptions. (How
did this change your thinking? Did it? Why?)
The silicone project has
definitely changed my thinking on solar panels. I definitely want our future to
have natural resources and not then be depleted. Before my thoughts were they
were too expensive to afford in a home. I see that the silicone ranch project Is
trying to conserve the amount of natural resources used by creating renewable
clean energy to consumers and to businesses. I also think they're trying to
help out those individuals that work burning coal and live in the surrounding
areas that are affected by health issues. The silicone project is also trying
to conserve pollution that is created by the coal burning. I am definitely
considering to look into solar panels to help out the environment and also to
produce the use of clean renewable energy in my home for my family.
