2. My Opinion

   • It is a great idea because it not only helps out the residents that live in SA but it also helps the environment because it does use coal or anything like the, it uses nature resources

   • What devices and materials are in the battery to make it as user friendly and as environmentally friendly it can be.
   • Working out how much energy is needed to power your house or building

   • SA gets there power through a combination between coal energy and renewable energy.
   • The reason the energy is not very good is because of where it get supplied from. SA gets their power form the east side of Australia which has to travel long distances menaing it loses lots of energy travelling causing SA to have power cuts alot
