(1) The nation's energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) These fuels are nonrenewable resources,
and they cause pollution. (3) We cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) Thus,
we must find other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) Pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to
solving our energy crisis.
(6) Currently, about 1 percent of energy in the United States is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the
potential to become a more widely used energy source. (7) Through different technologies, such as solar
cells, scientists have learned to use the sun's radiation to create electricity. (8) Solar energy is both
inexhaustible and clean. (9) The major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10)
Developing a cost-effective way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving
our energy crisis.
Which is an alternative piece of evidence that supports the idea that solar energy could play a part in solving the
energy crisis?
Solar energy is not a suitable solution for all climates due to shorter hours of daylight.
• Solar power requires a large area for the solar panels, which may be a problem in urban areas
Solar energy already serves an important role in providing electricity to remote areas
Save and Exit

The correct option is this: SOLAR ENERGY ALREADY SERVES AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN PROVIDING ELECTRICITY TO REMOTE AREAS.

Adding this piece of information will further consolidate the argument of the author that solar energy is a feasible and clean means of generating electricity.

answer: i would say he was very determined and persistent in overcoming obstacles.

explanation:   "the magician of menlo park" as he was called, liked to tell an incident that happened when he was 8 years old and came back home crying after attending school for three months because his teacher called him "sterile and unproductive". from nowadays perspective, we can say that thomas alva edison was one of the most persistent and determined man that has ever existed. when edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. the effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80-percent deaf in the other. so as you can see he had to struggle to not so many minor issues but he always succeeded.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
