Gas or Electric? Thinking Algebraically About Car Costs, Emissions and Trade-offs

 General Motors announced that they will be selling zero emission cars starting in 2035. They announced this because they are trying to create a more sustainable energy model. Gas cars create green house gases which is not good for the environment. More Americans are starting to buy electric cars. If you look at a graph between a tesla and Camry up front the tesla is more expensive, but over time you actually end up saving money from buying an electric car. 

    I think that zero emission cars will actually be kind of cool. I also think that having electric cars will be better for the environment because they don't create the gasses, so If more people buy them it is good. The only thing that  might not be good is that up front the price is more expensive for non gas cars so people will think they are to much when they really save money, so they will look for gas cars.

    I think it's cool that in the future a lot more people will have electric cars. If more people start buying electric cars it will produce lot less green houses gasses, so it would be a lot better for our environment.

    I think electric cars are cool in the sense that you just have to plug them in to stations to power them. If they can find a way to cut down charging times for cars brands like Tesla, I think a lot more people will be appealed to them

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
