I choose to write about a environmental topic: “University challengers race for the sun in Solar Decathlon”. The article talk about a great idea to produce energy solar home.
This is a challenge for 20 students groups from America, Canada, Spain and German. I think is a great idea because you can find a lot alternatives news for take care our environment. The competion have between the options a project for mannagment the control light with a Iphone for who needs to make other activities. The university of minnesota`s created a project that looks like a rustic chalet, I believe is so cute.
Other options are approach on poor neighbourhoods in houston. It have a cost of $140000, a very efficient idea. But each team have $100000 to build the project.
Some teams had been working since 3 years ago and october 18 the will know to the winner.
The idea was made for the US department energy. I would like to make this project in our country because we have a lot of territory for do it, for example the atacama desert, Chile have a groups of goodengineer, but we listen always “ we havnt money for do it”. But this article show we can do “solar powered home sleek and cheap”.
