It’s College Scholorship Essay time again, and…I need help.
“Discuss the role and limitations of one scientific discipline (biology, chemistry, nursing, or physics) in solving one of the societal problems listed below:”
And I chose “Alternatives to fossil fuels”.
So, what’s the role of physics in finding alternatives to fossil fuels.
Now, I want to find some true alternative energy sources to focus on. The problem I’m having is cutting through all the lobbyist BS. Also, I probably shouldn’t talk about the “chemistry” types of alternative fuels, ie, ethanol and biomass, since they are out of the realm of physics in a way.
These are the energies I could think of, that also directly relate to physics:
–Hydrogen Cells
–Solar
–Wind
Questions:
Which one of these energies have the most feasability (Economically/Logistically) and potential? Are there any others I could consider?
