TED talks

In the last few classes for STEM we have been working on watching TED talks and I have really enjoyed the very informational Ted talks rather than the emotional ones. The TED talks that we watched was called batteries from dirt, plastic to paper, how do solar cells work, and James Hanson on climate change. I liked all of them however James Hansons TED talk was a little bit boring in my opinion because it was constant talking and it was a big information dump. Unlike the talk about solar cells which was short concise and to the point.

 

My favorite and most impactful TED talk was the one that talked about solar cells. Even though this was a very short video it got me intrigued in this topic. I began to think and wonder if we were to convert all of our energy into solar cells that could be a good solution to the issue of climate change. Even thought this topic intrigued me I couldn't help but wonder how much it would cost to make this world powered by solar energy. In a single solar panel there are many scientific principles and I really enjoyed watching this video. This video impacted me the most because now I believe that the solution to climate change will be solar power.

 

I was impacted by the solar cells talk because it gave me hope that there is a solution that is possible and that we have the ability now to solve this problem. I am now wondering why we aren't already trying to solve this problem now.
