SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC
We went to Singapore polytechnic on 29th July 2008.
There was a lecture given by Dr. Jiang Fan.
There were PowerPoint slides introducing the clean energy, Solar Energy. The most important thing in our life is electricity. Without electricity, we cannot do a lot of things e.g. no transportation, no hot water. We get our electricity from power station that burns the fossil fuels. Burning of fossil fuels pollutes the airs and is not renewable which means, we will run out of them. Therefore, we have to start using alternative source of energy like solar energy which is clean, renewable and easily obtainable. These were some of the things that I have learnt through the slides.
We had a chance to visit their solar farm.
It was my first time seeing rows after rows of life-sized solar panels.
It was an enriching experience.
