So you're probably asking yourself...

Well that last post was pretty good at laying down an explanation of what this blog is, but I suppose that the average reader might still have a fair number of questions milling about in his or her noggin. Hopefully, I'll be able to clear all that nonsense up with this post, and we'll all be able to hop into the wonderful world of alternative energy with my next post. (This post will probably be updated, as I think of other things that would be helpful to mention ahead of time, before embarking on the epic adventure that is this blog).

So you're probably asking yourself "Who is this kid, who claims to be an expert on all things energy?" First off, I never claimed to be an expert. Furthermore, I'm sure you already know that my name is Bryan, but what you may not know is that I'll probably be dealing with the issue of energy, particularly the eternal hunt for new better sources, for the rest of my life. I hope to be an engineer, one who works with some kind of energy source, and as far as I know, there will always be a demand for energy for as long as there will be people. There's excellent job security in it, and frankly, it interests me. Granted, I don't know a whole lot about it, but by the end of this blogging adventure, I'm sure I will.

So you're probably asking yourself "Where do you get all of your information?" I use several internet sources, but the one that I use the most is definitely Wikipedia. Now before you hop up on your pedestal and start bashing my precious Wikipedia, I'd just like to say that Wikipedia is a perfectly reliable resource that has roughly the same error rate as Britannica (3 errors per 100 facts). So for every person that spouts off how Wikipedia can't be trusted, I'd just like to say that the vast majority of them are simply regurgitating what their seventh grade English teacher told them when they started writing a research paper. Furthermore, for the record, I have never found an erroneous fact on Wikipedia, and until I do, I will continue to trust the well-cited information I find there.

So you're probably asking yourself "What exactly is alternative energy?" Alternative energy is essentially just a general term that describes any source of usable energy that is intended to replace a preexisting source that has negative consequences. In this case, it would most likely refer to more easily renewed sources of energy, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, or even alcohol. Through the course of this blog, I'll be exploring these various sources, and unearthing their pros and cons.

So you're probably asking yourself "Why do you write so much?" This is an English project. That's the point. Furthermore, that's also the reason why I punctuate and spell everything properly. Get used to it.

So you're probably asking yourself "What should I do until you post again?" Go listen to the song "Inis Mona" by Eluveitie. I like it. Meanwhile, you may feed my Rasta-fish if you like.
