AHS+Renewable+Energy

The AHS students are looking at renewable energies with a proposed windfarm for Shetland by the Scottish government in mind. Due to the exposed geographical position of Shetland, oil and gas are inevitably important energy resources for our community becoming two of our research aspects during our project studies. In order to create a report about energy resources for the future presenting our generation's view to decision-makers in Shetland, we would like to focus on wind, oil and gas as energy resources for the future. We would be delighted if we could share information about these energy resources in your areas. It would be equally helpful using your knowledge and expertise about other energy resources leading to a more comprehensive report.

The following excerpt describes aspects of the research we want to undertake:

(RJA editted 26/01/10) As a group, our collective strength is science, so we wish to look at renewable energy from a technical perspective. We initially intended to split the work we wanted to do into sections, however depending on how far we go into each stage, we may not have time to complete the work without help.

WIND ENERGY

We have found in our research that people have spent their lives designing turbines, so here there is endless scope for investigation.

 I found this to be quite interesting since some are explore wind power.
