Solar Energy Informative Speech
Heather Smith
Informative Outline
Michelle Talasis
Topic: Solar Energy
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: To inform the uses of Solar Energy to my audience. Thesis: When all of our natural fossil fuels are low or gone, solar energy will be one of the leading sources of energy that we will need in the future.
Introduction
Attention Getter: Natural fossil fuels, such as coal used for burning, oil used for gasoline, and natural gas used to heat and warm houses, are a threat to the Earth and everything in it. Fossil fuels pollute the air and they are non-renewable and non-recyclable. We need different energy sources that are renewable and recyclable for our future existence. Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is renewable and recyclable. When all of our natural fossil fuels are scare or gone, solar energy will be one of the leading sources of energy that we will need in the future. With all of the technology we have today, we can develop different ways to use and harness these energy sources.
Reason to Listen: Solar energy is making a big impact on lives today all over the world. The development of solar energy in all ways and technologies is making our world a cleaner, safer, and less dependent nation.
A. Thesis Statement: When all of our natural fossil fuels are low or gone, solar energy will be one of the leading sources of energy that we will need in the future. B. Credibility Statement:
My dad is an electrician that puts up solar energy plants for businesses.
I had to research for this paper.
C. Preview of Main Points: 1. First I will explain solar energy technology and how it can be used in houses.
2. Next, I will explain the uses of solar energy and how it will be helpful saving water.
3. Finally, I will explain the unique uses of solar energy in transportation and military weapons. II. Body A. People have
