I am collecting data on #Energy because I want to see what is happening on our planet. It is a time of great global climate changes, where even here in Connecticut one day is it beautiful and 50, when the next day it is 25 and snowing. This is a very hot topic in the world.
This is a global issues so I will be able to see what people all over the world are saying. On my first day the data shows that people from India, Italy, England, Scotland, and Ireland are tweeting about #Energy, in English thank god! The world is also desperately searching for clean energy. A type of clean natural energy other than oil that can put our planet in a better place. During the Trump administration has made it clear that #Energy and being environmentally conscious is not even bullet point on their to do list. I want to see how the American public reacts to this. Climate change and issues with our planet are incredibly obvious, but Trump is doing very little about it. I want to see how people are reacting and what movements for #energy are going on.
At first glance on my data what is really interesting is it talks a great deal about Middle East oil. For example @AAClearinghouse tweets “World’s Largest #Oil Company, #Saudi Aramco, Apparently Mulling $5 Billion #Renewable #Energy Investment.” That is extremely interesting to me that oil and nuclear energy is tweeted about a lot. It was something I had not even considered exploring when I initially wanted to examine #energy. There is also a lot of talk of Coal as an energy source on twitter. There is also discussions around clean energy, discussing solar energy, and wind energy. For example, there is a big solar project that is going on in New Hampshire. Lots of people are tweeting about it. @AP tweets “Big solar project coming to New Hampshire” https://t.co/kkJnlcsqn2 #NHpolitics #Solar #Energy,” multiple people have retweeted this tweet. It is a major project. Also a lot of my tweets have links to articles at the bottom that could be great for me to click on and explore. See what people are writing about energy. Also people are tweeting about #energy and how it affects the world economically.
I think the best way to resolve the current issues of climate change is to pursue clean technology in a manner that will deliver positives to the opposing factions that have been surfaced in the United States especially. Having a conservative view on Climate Change is not necessarily having thoughts on the historically collected data, but more so understanding how attempts to find a solution to the proposed issues will damage the productivity of our economy. The cost of clean energy is exorbitant and while the effects may bode well for the lifespan of the human race, they do not gratify the here and now– which is global superpowers and competitive advantage. To deliver positives to opposing factions would mean to bring the manufacturing costs of clean energy resources down to a level that investors find attractive. This would bridge the gap between sustainable development and domestic and international growth.
