Sliding Down Rooftops The winter of 2008 was the kind that you read about in storybooks. It didn’t stop snowing for days on end and the air felt nice and chilly. Many roads were blocked and the ones that were not had walls of snow on both sides. No one even bothered to clean the sidewalks.

Lying on a sun lounger without goals and urges, I started to think about how we comprehend the world through different senses, and decided to experience the environment on my own.

Starting with things far away, I saw clouds blocking the rather terrifying California sunshine in the blue sky, the extending horizon

The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is a well-established metric used to calculate the cost of electricity generation over the plant’s lifetime. It is commonly used to compare the cost of generation across different technologies in order to determine the economic viability or commercial feasibility. The calculation for LCOE takes into account all the costs incurred over the lifetime of the plant such as capital cost, operation and maintenance (O&M) cost, fuel cost (where applicable), financing
the piece of art. I do not think the artist was successful at achieving her goal. I think this because at first I didn't even notice the young girl flying above the bridge. Once I noticed her, I could not tell she was the same girl laying on the rooftop. This made the wild background not make much sense to me.

photovoltaics are found across multiple common solar applications. Photovoltaics make up solar panels across nations and can stand alone in a glass casing to act as a solar charger for cars and batteries (Hezel 2003, p 554). They can be attached to rooftops or stand together in solar farms, acting as a solar power grid. How do photovoltaics work? Photovoltaic (PV) comes from the two words photons and voltage, which translate into light and electricity (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 2014.).
Instead of making our cities a bowl we could make them into a strainer to allow the water to pass through avoiding a disaster. Converting our cites into a strainer will not be easy, but we could start by making them into a sponge city with green rooftops and permeable concrete. By changing our cities to sponge cites integrating different ways to allow water to return to its natural cycle we can avoid big natural disasters while also providing other benefits. The disasters we have recently had were
