Alternative energy sourceS

The Problem

Most of the energy in the world is provided from fosil fuels, coal alone produces half the electrical energy needed to power up the united states. The problem is not only that it`s a limited resource of energy, but that to make ir generate power it has to be burned releasing a very large amount of polutants to the atmosphere.

Methodology

- We need to create a campaign to let the people know the advantages of altenative energy resources.

- with the goverments help, people should be given intruccions and ways of adapting their houses to the new energy sources.

- we need to motivate people by lettign them know that we are not doing this for ourselves, but for our children.

Engineering Solution

We are planning to solve the problem by promoting the use of alterntive energy sources that do not polute the planet, by using an alternative source of energy not only are you helping the planet, but also yourself, having a wind mill, solar panel or watermill at home could considerably reduce your electric bill, saving you thousnads of dollars over the years.

Henry is the person that I look up to in my career:

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was the American founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents. As owner of the Ford Company he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism", that is, the mass production of large numbers of inexpensive automobiles using the assembly line, coupled with high wages for his workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. Ford did not believe in accountants; he amassed one of the world's largest fortunes without ever having his company audited under his administration. Henry Ford's intense commitment to lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.

Nissan to slash 20,000 jobs and sees annual loss

TOKYO – Nissan is slashing 20,000 jobs, or 8.5 percent of its global work force, to cope with what Japan's third-largest automaker expects will be its first annual loss in nine years.
"The global auto industry is in turmoil, and Nissan is no exception," Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn told reporters Monday in Tokyo.
Nissan Motor Co. now expects a 265 billion yen ($2.9 billion) net loss for the fiscal year through March — joining a raft of other Japanese corporate giants, including Toyota, Toshiba and Sony, in slashing jobs and projecting annual losses.
The last time Nissan racked up an annual net loss was for the fiscal year ended March 2000, at the start of its alliance with Renault SA of France, which sent in Ghosn to rescue Nissan from the brink of collapse. Then, a bloated Nissan had lost money in seven of the previous eight years.
Ghosn, now also chief executive at Renault, said the troubles back then had been limited to Nissan but no automaker has been spared from the global economic slump.
"In 1999, we were alone. In 2009, everybody is suffering," he said.

Summary

Nissan is losing a lot of money around the world and they need a strategy to make it stop. They are slashing twenty thousand jobs because of that they are going to join to Renault. I think they should join Renault because they would give them an opotunity to improve their downs and a little help isn't too bad.
