Solar pannels
Solar panels should be the primary source of energy. I remember in 8th grade we watched a documentary about sources of energy and there was one part in particular that I found shocking. If we covered around a fifth of Nevada in just solar panels we could power the whole country with just the sun. I know that there are pros and cons to this, like money, or resources, but in the long run solar panels will be better for the environment. I also know that we can just build so many solar panels in Nevada, but my point is,America is much larger than Nevada which means there is a lot more empty space than just there,spreading out the solar panels would be beneficial for multiple reasons, people might think placing a bunch of solar panels in Nevada would be bad because they want to keep the land free of technology and keep that area a technology free zone and just nature so spreading them out can preserve some of the lands natural beauty, and if you spread the panels out you have a bigger chance of sunlight. Having all the solar panels in one place would be a stupid move,spreading them out gives you a bigger chance of the suns light.
