I used to think and I now know

When we began the study on electricity I didn't really understand it and I had very little interest in it however over the study I learned how important it is to this island and that I should really care about electricity and how it is made

I used to think that there was an abundance of electricity and electricity was made from burning fossil fuels and it was created by the steam emoted from those fossil fuels such as coal. I also used to think this because when we went to h-power they talked about how they use the steam emitted from the burning trash to create electricity. I thought that they used coal and burned the coal and used the steam created by the coal to create electricity. After today I learned that they do not use coal they use a much more abundant source. They use water and they burn it then after they burn it and convert it to steam they use the steam and make electricity. I am glad that they use water however I still wonder what materials they use to burn the water. i read this directly through hecos website which was one of the links.

I used to think that HECO made energy similar to h power in the sense that they both burned items to create electricity h power burned trash while HECO burned coal I know know that HECO uses water and creates it into steam while h power burns trash. They are both similar because in order for water to turn into steam it needs heat. i also leaaened about different ways that heco creates electricity from allot of their sorces.

I used to think that HECO stood for Honolulu electric company however know I know that it stands for Hawaiian electric company one of the readings wrote out hawaiian electric company and i connected the dots.

I used to think that all the boxes that were scattered along campus had the same use, and by boxes i mean the green ones that hold electric breakers inside of them along with the grey covered ones. I used to think that they all had one use and purpose however know I know that they have many uses such as breakers and monetaring the solar energy that is created by each box.
