Journal #5 Research Paper Thesis/Intro Idea
For my research paper I decided to go off of my Evaluative Essay. I had watched the Frontline documentary on "Nuclear Aftershocks." I enjoyed this documentary and wanted to explore different energy sourced further so I decided to base my research paper off of this. My thesis for my research paper is: where should America go with energy. As of right now I plan on researching four different types of energy, most likely they will be nuclear, solar, wind and coal. I will touch base on all of those and probably talk about hoe sufficient each one is, how ling it would take us to move to this source of energy and how costly it would be. Then I will pick a specific one that I think would be best for America that would provide the most clean energy and I will expand on that. I will discuss how long it could take for America to switch to this energy source, how much money would be invested in it and if it would be the most sufficient to meet our country's needs. These are my tentative ideas and I would like to know what you guys think?

Wow! This is a very interesting topic. I almost wish I would have chose that documentary. It looks like you have it planned out very well. Coal and Nuclear Should be your easiest to find info on because they play a major part in our energy use already. Wind is a fast growing energy source as well, but the controversy with wind is the cost of the turbines and location to maximize energy yield. I dont know much about solar but I would assume it's similar to wind in the high cost. I wish you luck and if you have any questions just ask. Id be glad to help.
