     Hey guys! Okay, so for today we were given an situation. Apparently there is an energy crisis and oil is running out fast. What would we do in the presidents footsteps? Let's find out, shall we?


     The year is 2012, and the president is faced with something whenever knew was coming. The country can't afford oil; we're losing energy. The president has to answer the question, "To open the BNPP, or not to open the BNPP?" Well, knowing that the BNPP is very near the Morong Beach, which is the place where Pawikans lay eggs, will the president still do it?




If you already have the BNPP,
why don't you use it?
     Since the country's energy sources are depleting, the BNPP could be a solution for this predicament. The energy it creates will be sustainable and could really help in providing the electrical needs of the nation. It also produces only minimal amounts of pollution. Could this be the answer to the said crisis?


     Meanwhile on the other side of the page, there's always alternatives to this. Renewability is always a factor in energy. In this case, nuclear energy is not renewable, (however, it's uranium fuel will last for quite some time). The president has always been in favor of using renewable sources of energy because he sees them as a better alternative. However, will he stick to this?


Why open the BNPP
if you don't know if it will work properly?
     As you may recall, we talked about Pawikans - about their ecology and importance. Now, we mentioned a few moments ago that the BNPP is very close to the nesting ground of marine turtles known as Morong Beach. In fact, it's just an 8-minute ride. If the BNPP were to suffer a meltdown, this would be catastrophic! Basically all marine flora and fauna near the area would suffer. You, the reader, know the importance of marine wildlife, especially the Pawikans. Is the president going to take the risk? 


     The president has made his decision. His thoughts are as follows.




     "No, this isn't worth it; the stakes are too high. Besides, there are always different ways to get through this problem. If we all pitch in on this task, we can get through this crisis. I encourage everybody to lessen their electric-consumptions. We'll launch projects and try to make a different source of energy. My answer is no to the BNPP."


Nuclear energy, NO.
We'd rather use renewable energy.
     So there's our answer. The stakes are too high and the risks are too dangerous. We can find other ways to get through this problem. Renewable energy is a good option. Nuclear energy is a nice source of electrical power, but it's not our first choice.


Till our next blog-venture!

  1. Hi Blog-venture Time! We like your post about opening the BNPP and also your blog! Content: 8/10
    Coherence: 4/5 Creativity: 3/5 Voice: 3/5 Mechanics: 4/5 Text Layout: 4/5 Multimedia & Graphics: 4/5 Intellectual Honesty: 5/5. Your text layout was a little bit small. You had enough pictures, which is ood for someone reading your blog, but it is better if you use different pictures (yes, we're talking about Philosiraptor). While reading the first paragraph, we saw a grammar and punctuation error, so please improve that next time. Overall, your blog post was good and we had fun reading eat! :D ,The Science Journal

    Thou you could have given more reasons of why and why not to open the BNPP, it was a very firm decision you have there, Mr. President. Kudos!
