Benefits of Renewable Energy Use, Union of Concerned Scientists, Apr. 2013. http://www.ucsusa.org/clean-energy/renewable-energy/public-benefits-of-renewable-power#bf-toc-2. Accessed 5 Nov. 2017.
A. Unlike other sources that we are currently using, renewable energy produce little to no global warming emissions
B. Union of Concerned Scientists, an organization about science for a healthy planet and safer world, published an article about the benefits of renewable energy use in order to let more people know about the clean energy.
C. The stakeholders of this source are every single human on earth because by using the renewable energy can improve our environment.
D. Based on the stats from this article, there are data about how much electricity can be produced by renewable energy, there are connections between the production of renewable energy and the traditional energy.
E. I choose this source because this is an article that published by a well-known organization, there are many data about renewable energy that I can use in my paper.
Source 2:
Bevan, Godfrey. “Renewable Energy and Climate Change.” Significance, vol. 9, no. 6, 2012, pp. 8–12.
A. The relationship between renewable energy and climate change.
B. The purpose is to let people know how is the use renewable energy good for climate change.
C. The stakeholders of this source are the people who didn’t know how can renewable energy can improve the climate change.
D. The author says that energy and climate change policy is too little and too late. Yes, what human is doing now is too little and too late, but it is never too late to start changing our energy use.
E. I choose this source because the author explores the issues of renewable energy and efficiency, and finds huge potential, but a terrifying lack of time.
Source 3:
Wang, and Chen. “Impact of Climate Change Heating and Cooling Energy Use in Buildings in the United States.” Energy &Amp; Buildings, vol. 82, 2014, pp. 428–436.
A. The emission from the heating and cooling energy use in buildings in the united states is effecting the climate change.
B. The purpose is to let people know how is heating and cooling energy use in the buildings in the US is effecting the climate and why should we use a better energy to replace the old ones.
C. The stakeholders are the users, owners, designer of the buildings in the US.
D. This article is about the energy use in the building and how it is effecting the environment, it can connect with the source about why should we use renewable energy (because it produces little to no emission).
E. Even though this source doesn’t mention about renewable energy, but it shows how important the renewable energy is.
Source 4:
Long, Noah, and Kevin Steinberger. Renewable Energy Is Key to Fighting Climate Change, NRDC, July 2016, https://www.nrdc.org/experts/noah-long/renewable-energy-key-fighting-climate-change. Accessed 5 Nov. 2017.
A. The main point of this article is that the authors believe that the renewable energy is key to fighting climate change
B. The main purpose is to let the audience have a better understand about how can renewable energy fight for climate.
C. The stakeholders are the people who want to fight for climate change but looking for the best way to do it
D. The main argument is that the authors believe that renewable energy is the key fighting climate change, it can be connected with the source that talk about renewable energy produces little to no emission.
E. The authors talk about the benefits by using renewable energy, it helps me address my paper about the benefit of renewable energy.

Johnston, Lan. Developing world invests more in renewable energy than rich countries for first time, new study says, INDEPENDENT, 31 May 2016, www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/renewable-energy-investment-developed-world-developing-world-ren21-report-a7058436.html. Accessed 5 Nov. 2017.
A. The main point is that developing countries like China and India invest more in renewable energy than rich countries like the US and the UK.
B. The purpose is that even the developing countries are investing renewable energy, rich countries should invest in renewable energy too.
C. The stakeholders are the people in rich countries who is taking charge of renewable energy’s investment.
D. According to the author, the UK was being outspent by “much poorer countries”, this can be connected to the source about the importance of renewable energy and the UK government is still not doing enough.
