One of major movements that is happening globally is the addition of wind turbines. \u00a0The UN dispatch released that ”\u00a0half a million solar panels were installed around the world every day in 2015. In China, two wind turbines went online\u00a0every hour.” \u00a0<\/em>That is major global progress and it is amazing to see what is happening in the world. \u00a0That industries like coal are becoming out dated. \u00a0This also creates issues at the same times because the dying coal industry is going to put a lot of people out of work. \u00a0It is a catch 22 in the fact that we as a society want to create a better atmosphere for our planet with green energy, but this will put people who have been working in coal mines for decades. It could wipe out an industry of old. \u00a0Another article I read discussed how Duke Energy in North Carolina was contaminating the water supply. \u00a0How coal plants have been detrimental to the society and only created more problems than good. \u00a0That the company is giving neighbors a $5,000 donation for what has happened to the water supply. \u00a0 Maryland has had numerous issues where their energy bills have skyrocketed. \u00a0“State lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Thursday to override Gov. Larry Hogan’s veto of a bill to increase the use of renewable energy in the state.\u00a0The legislation, which will require utility companies in Maryland to buy more energy from sources such as wind turbines, solar panels and hydroelectric dams, became law when the Democratic-controlled\u00a0General Assemble\u00a0voted to override the Republican governor.” (Article 3). \u00a0Other articles like the one from Al Jaszeera stated that by 2020 green energy would be affordable for the common individual thus decreasing the demand for fossil fuels, hopefully making them obsolete.<\/p>\n

In 2006 energy was not discussed as a form of green energy and fossil fuels. ABC News, the same media cite that I got one of my current green articles from. \u00a0Has an energy article about health supplements and myths that surround them. \u00a0All of the top hits on google were articles about health supplements and things that were occurring in space. \u00a0The ideal of green renewable energy was not a well discussed topic among major media outlets. \u00a0It was looked at as a myth or not worth it to read. \u00a0Then a National Geographic article discusses the use of ethanol. \u00a0This was at a time where the term global warming was just becoming a term. \u00a0It was not believed by the public quite yet, and it was becoming apparent that gas prices and oil prices were on the rise and that it could not last forever. Ethanol is an energy that comes from corn. \u00a0Today we know it very well and it is known to the educated public. \u00a0Back in 2006 this was brand new technology. \u00a0Through just scrolling the first page of google I found articles on ethanol and body supplements. \u00a0Nothing on wind and solar energy. \u00a0In 2017 when I searched it came up all green renewable energy. \u00a0A massive shift that has occurred in society. \u00a0It changes the way I see data because in 2006 the word energy has a different meaning than it does now in 2017. \u00a0The word itself has been given a new definition by the public. \u00a0So when I examine my data I need to see if it is about green energy and our planet or about how eating a banana twice a day will give your body more energy.<\/p>\n

What I really got out of the reading was how data scraping works. \u00a0What is really happening when I click “Get TAGS” and then everything magically shows up in the google sheets. \u00a0I think it’s fantastic to understand why things are happening and how we collect this data. \u00a0That through scraping I am able to do social research about society. \u00a0That I am able to examine energy as a term used by the everyday individual. \u00a0That it can be used to discuss major political issues, and at the same time can be used to talk about getting energy in your body. \u00a0How the term energy has transformed within the last ten years and data scraping can show me the transformation of the hashtag energy. \u00a0I can see how people are using it and in what context. \u00a0Back in 2006 though researching articles people in 2006 were tweeting about energy as a way of using your body. \u00a0That through data scraping I can see what people, individual common people thought of energy and what they think. Data scraping is going to be able to show me the answers to what is going on globally with energy. \u00a0While I will only be able to understand the English tweets I can still gain a more global understanding.<\/p>\n
