1.the article states that we need to find more renewable resources for power because the sources we use like wind and solar we can't use all the time beach the sunlight is not always out and the wind is not always blowing and when that happens we have to revert to carbon gas power with is hurting the world.
2. This article does not rattle to this module.
3. I would like to see what sources of power we come up with to use.

The article explains how we need to find a more reliable source of energy because the energy we have now like wind, solar, and hydroelectric isn't allows reliable and constant in generating power.

The article connects because is speaks of new energy that will be clean energy which helps with the ecosystem. that helps with us getting completely away from coal one day.

This article focuses on the need for new sources of energy due to the demand of climate change. It's very important to not rely solely on what we use for energy now, but rather create more sustainable forms of energy that aren't harmful to the earth.

This connects to our modules contents because climate change may cause more natural disasters if we aren't careful and proactive.

I hope that there is a way to find a clean and renewable source of energy that everyone can thrive off of and not be damaging to Earth.

This article tells the reader about how Google is pushing towards a world that doesn't rely on carbon sources for power. They are pushing hard for renewable sources of energy because of climate change. This article doesn't connect much with module 3. I find it uplifting that a large company is pushing so hard towards renewable energy and hope that others would follow suit in the future.
