1.What do you think are some of the limitations of using renewable energy resources, based on the clip that you have seen?
2.What are some possible solutions that the video have suggested?
3.How do you think Energy Conservation messages can be communicated effectively in the school or local context? Give or suggest some examples.

1.Renewable energy resources can have many disadvantages. It can be too slow, or it can affect the people. In the video the wind turbines created two main problems for the people living near the new wind farm. Noise and the strobing light effect as the wind turbines blocked the morning and evening sun. The wind turbines also need a suitable location, secluded yet with lots of wind power.
2.People could make the turbines smaller in residential areas and put the larger turbines somewhere further. But the best solution was to use less of the limited energy resources, and conserve energy. They could install solar panels, wind turbines and fuel cells and be used locally.
3.We could organize petitions, presentations, posters, flyers or do special activities like school trips to communicate the message of conserving energy to the others. We can also show them videos or examples of life without energy, letting them realize the consequences of not acting now to conserve energy
