In Mr. Gosman's "Solar Power Pass," he describes the new plan the Obama Administration is proposing for alternative energy. He states how the project will cost roughly six billion dollars, but will generate up to a thousand jobs to help build the plant and keep approximately three hundred steady jobs to run the plant. Aside from the project being extremely pricey, it will also wipe out eight thousand acres of land that will need to be funded for wildlife that will lose their home.
"Mirrors" will be set up to reflect the sun towards little tubes that contain water. The reflection frmo the sun will cause the water to boil and produce steam. Then a turbine will be used to convert it to electricity. Mr. Gosman agrees that, although it will cost a fortune, it will be a good investment and generate a lot of jobs.
I completely agree with his argument. I think the fact that it costs so much will be worth it considering it will provide energy for two million homes and provide jobs for a thousand people. Like he said, the sun will be around for a lot longer than coal and other non renewable sources so why not make good use out of it?
