Bigger Problems By : Austen clack

FUTURE

�  o Just the other day I had to write a report on whether schools should ban hair dye or not. That same day in my G.T. class we were talking about running out of energy in the Future.

WHY DOES IT MATTER It makes me mad when people are arguing about hair dye when the world has bigger problems. It doesn`t matter whether somebody wants their hair to be red or purple.

In my G.T. class I learned that the world will soon run out of energy sources.

My solution to the world running out of energy is…. I think one new possible resource is atmospheric pressure . If we put atmospheric scales underground and once the scale feels the air pressure it sends the weight into a big underground pipe . Once the pressure builds up enough, it goes to a generator and is converted to energy .

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. (Source: Wikipedia)

LOCATIONS

The lower you go, there is more atmospheric pressure. So in a place like the Colorado river there is more pressure. Where the California border meets Nevada’s is where the Colorado river is that’s the lowest point in Nevada.

Reliability

Atmospheric pressure is something that can be used every where inside the earths atmosphere. Unlike wind turbines that only work when the wind is blowing. There is always atmospheric pressure everywhere.

Conclusion

As you can see I think the world would be a better place if people worried about more important issues!
