Energy Exploration Series
About Me:
My name is Raki Krishnan, and I am a 12th grader at Walt Whitman high school and part of the Environmental Leaders Program at Bethesda Green. One of my main missions is to create a greener Earth for future generations. This will require cooperation and participation of everyone on the planet. I believe that to connect with a diverse audience, creativity is key, so I decided to start creating entertaining content for my spring conservation project. I have named my video series the Energy Exploration Series. I hope you enjoy my videos!
Introduction to Project
I have created short, informative, and entertaining videos designed to educate viewers about how environmental topics relating to energy generation, energy efficiency, and energy consumption directly relate to their lives. For example, my first video depicts the negative effects that fossil fuels have on surrounding communities.
Episode 1 | Fossil Fuels
You might feel fine now, but the constant use of fossil fuels in society is going to affect your health in the future. This video details the harmful health effects of coal and oil. Watch Episode 1 here.
Episode 2 | Solar
Solar energy is widely known for being an efficient alternative to fossil fuels. But have you heard of community solar before? In this video, I spoke with an expert to explore the pros and cons of community solar. Watch Episode 2 here.
Episode 3 | Geothermal
Everyone knows about solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. But geothermal power can be just as good, if not better. Here’s why. Watch Episode 3 here.
Episode 4 | Hydropower
Hydropower is often viewed as a controversial form of energy production. The benefits are immense, but is it worth it? This video jumps into some of the pros and cons of hydropower so that you can decide for yourself. Watch Episode 4 here.
