Summary
Solar cells are a great use of energy. With little to no emissions, solar energy is a rather efficient type of energy for the amount of negative effects it produces. Progress has been slow on solar cells because of the technology needed to obtain a sufficient source of energy. Some solar cells show a record 7.6% rate of conversion efficiency.
Paraphrase/Response
This article taps into the positive and negatives of solar energy. While they are a very environmentally safe source of energy they are not as efficient as they could be and take a lot more time and money to use than others. Solar energy is on the rise and could play a very beneficial part in transfer from harmful fuel sources to alternative energy. Though it is not widely used research is still being made and it is becoming a much more efficient type of energy source.

Summary
In the turn of the millennium wind turbines came to a small town of McCamey, Texas. With petroleum sources taking their toll on the town a need for alternative sources of energy was established at the turn of the century. Because petroleum companies have established their place in the area of Texas the wind power companies are having problems getting their energy distributed.
Paraphrase/Response
This article relates to a specific town in the United Stated that is attempting to change their ways in terms of energy uses. Though wind power would be a great alternative and less costly to all in the long run it is hard to make the switch from petroleum to wind. This article discussed how petroleum companies have established ground in the area of Texas and are making it hard for these wind companies to make a place. It also dabs into specific numbers about how much money is being putting into both energy sources and the benefits and drawbacks to both of them.

When talking about different types of power it's always good to put some facts in comparing it to the power sources we use now. Also it might be a good idea to compare the costs to develop it to the long term benefits from researching it and when it will balance out
