Jessica: Hi folks, this is the VMS News Report coming to you live from the VMS Studio in New York. I'm Jessica Rogers, your host. Today, I will be intervewing two of the best professers in town. I will talk to them about Solar Energy. First, the definition. Solar Energy is energy that comes from the sun. Solar panels use solar cells to turn sunlight into electricity then that electricity can be used to light or heat a home or to power appliances. Every day, a **__HUGE__** amount of energy is produced. Our experts know a lot about solar energy and the pros and cons of it. Here they come now!!
 * __POWER HOUR!!!!!__**

Professor Douglas: Hello, I am Professor Douglas. I teach a class at UW Madison on solar energy. Today I will tell you things you probley never knew about Solar Energy. Things like why it is good. Did you know that Solar pannels do not pollute?

Professor Samuel: I am here to tell you why I think Solar Energy is not good for the inviorment. Hi, I am Professer Samuel. I teach environmental science at Notre Dame. I'm here to tell you why my opinion is that solar energy is not a good thing. I do not like it because it cant help in all places.

Jessica: Well, why don't we hear both Pros and Cons of Solar Energy. I will tell you some facts about Solar Energy. #1:All life depends on the sun. #2:It would be impossible, without the sun to have the production of food and oxygen. #3:Solar Energy is used to produce electricity. #4:The word "Solar" means "Sun" in Latin. . #5:Lighthouse phones, T.V's, and communication towers can be powered by Solar Energy. #6:California has the worlds biggest Solar Power Plant. #7:Solar energy can be used to heat water. #8:All life depends on solar energy to live.

Professor Samuel: O.K. Is that all?

Jessica: Yes, now you may tell us your reasons why you do not like Solar energy.

Professor Samuel: #1:It cost alot of money to buy Solar Panels.#2:Solar Energy only works during daylight hours, so they either have to store the electricity use some other source for the times that the sun is not shining. #3:Places with alot of pollution are bad for the Solar Panels. #4:Solar Energy would cost about $3,500 a year to maintain. #5:In places like Canada, they don't get alot of sun, so they can't use Solar panels. #6:When the solar panels are made, pollution is created. #7:The weather can interfer with the Solar Panels. #8:Solar panels cost over $1,000 dollars to purchase and install.

Professor Douglas: O.K. Thats enough cons for now. Now, I am going to tell you some pros about Solar energy. #1:You never run out of power. #2:It doesn't need a genorator. #3:Solar panels don't pollute after they are put in. #4:A solar panel can be put on any part of the roof. #5:Solar energy is quiet. #6:It uses cords to get the power where you want it to go so you can use it to power things all over your house. #7:They last for decades. #8:They need little maintenance.

Jessica:Now, Let's talk about why this is important. The world could be much more green in places like Alaska if they **__STOP__** using oil lamps, for heat and light, and **__START__** using solar energy, for heat and light. If all the places in the world used solar energy, the world would be healthier than it ever was before! We should start this method because eventually, we will run out of coal and oil, to __MAJOR__ resoures. But who said we will ever run out of SUN!?! Think about that next time you waste coal and oil. If you are looking for more information, go to []. O.K. Thats it for this News report. Come back next time and here how popcorn is healthy for you!!! Bye-Bye!
