I am fascinated by science and technology.
I remember reading stories as a kid about an eventual car that would run on water, and I’m still optimistically hoping that one day will come where that doesn’t seem like an impossibility.
If I hadn’t gone into the arts, I would have gotten an engineering degree to work in alternative energy. I’m terrified by the thoughts of human effects on global climate change. If the polar ice caps continue to melt at the current rate, we’re going to see considerable sea level rise over the next century. Eventually the warmer water in the oceans will lead to increasingly catastrophic hurricanes that will threaten the lives of thousands along the atlantic and pacific coasts. With all of this in the back of my mind, I want to do my part to mitigate my negative impact on the environment. That’s why I purchased solar panels to put on my roof to power my HVAC system. With the new solar panels in place, I’m hoping they will generate enough electricity to power my air conditioner and furnace without needing electricity from the grid. It costs so much money and wastes so much energy to power the HVAC system otherwise, so the solar panels would be a massive improvement for us all. If I am successful with my project, I will install them on my parents’ roof as well so they can also use solar energy for their central HVAC system. Whatever we can do to save money on HVAC energy is a welcome addition to our homes. It’s just the process of installation that can be a headache.
