Felicity Fact: Hello, I am reporter Felicity Fact, reporting to you live from Solar Network! Today's news story is Solar Energy, Yes or No?. The definition of solar power is the energy and heat that comes from the sun and that can be used in houses and buildings to provide electricity. Solar energy is made by solar panels collecting solar cells from the sun, then converting them into electricity. People wonder whether or not solar energy is a good idea, so today we will be interviewing Professor Penelope Pro and Dr. Cathy Con. But first, lets start our day by having Fun Fact Time with (drum roll) Felicity Fact! Did you know that the major uses of solar power are heat, light, and electricity? And that on a sunny day the sun gives off about 1,000 rays of solar energy that can power more than 100 iteams? Now, on with the show! We will interview Dr. Con first. And remember, you can always tell us YOUR opnion on solar energy at solarnetwork.com! (Phone ringing)

Dr.Cathy Con: Hello??

Felicity Fact: Hello, Dr. Cathy Con. I am reporter Felicity Fact from Solar Network. We would like to interview you for a radio show and news article. We are just going to ask you some questions about the cons on solar energy. Is that okay?

Dr. Cathy Con: Of course, I'd be glad to help!

Felicity Fact: Great!

Dr. Cathy Con: Okay, first, solar energy can only be produced on sunny days, so that means that on cloudy or rainy days, you won't have any energy to heat, light, and use electronics. If you live in a already polluted area, it would be harder to produce energy through the pollution, and if a bird or insect flys into a beam of sun light produced by solar power, they will die. Also, the cost of solar cells can be up to one thousand dollars, and while manufacturing solar panels, the factory they are made in produce a lot of pollution.

Felicity Fact: Thank you, Dr. Cathy Con, for your time. We apreshiate it. (Ended call on phone)

Felicity Fact: Now its Fun Fact Time with (drum roll) Felicity Fact! Did you know that most calculators are solar powered? And that sheep's burps controbute to globle warming? Okay, back to the show! (Phone ringing)

Professor Penelope Pro: Hello, Penelope speaking. Who are you?

Felicity Fact: Hello, Professor Penelope Pro. I'm reporter Felicity Fact from Solar Network. We would like to interview you for a radio show and news article. We are just going to ask you some questions about the pros on solar energy. Is that okay?

Professor Penelope Pro: Yes, its okay with me.

Felicity Fact: Fantastic!

Professor Penelope Pro: First, solar panels produce no pollution, so you do not have to worry about contrubuting to globle warming. Also, you do not have to pay for the energy that your solar panels produce. And two other great pros of solar energy is that it produces energy very quietly and that since you usually put solar panels on your roof, you do not have to find space for it in your house.

Felicity Fact: Thanks, Professor Penelope Pro, for your time. You helped us a lot.

Professor Penelope Pro: My pleasure. (Ended call on phone)

Felicity Fact: Now, todays last Fun Fact Time with (drum roll) Felicity Fact! Did you know that the globle perspective of solar energy is that it minimizes globle-warming, uses only the sun as a charger, can provide energy forever, and you can harness solar panels in remote locations, like space. And that was todays news story, Solar Energy, Yes or No? I guess there are good things and bad things about solar energy, so the answer to yes or no is maybe. And don't forget to listen next weeks news story, Solar Energy, How It Works. Also, a big thanks to [|need.org] and clean-energy-ideas.com for confirming all of our facts, cons, and pros.

Felicity Fact, crew member 1, and crew member 2 : Have a nice day!! BYE!!

Crew member 1: Bye!

add in a couple more pros and cons and be sure your definition is in there, then you're all set.
