It is important to conserve energy especially when it is produced by non-renewable resources. We use non-renewable fuels to crank our cars, to hear our homes and to cool our homes. When pollutants from these non-renewable fuels are released into the air it contaminate the air we breathe along with the water that we drink. With that being said it is important to conserve energy to keep the air that we breathe cleaner. Conserving energy is also important because it reduces the electric bill and the

catalyst. The VRB energy is stored chemically in different ionic forms of vanadium in a dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte. This creates a current that is collected by electrodes and made available to an external circuit. The reaction is reversible allowing the battery to be charged, discharged and recharged. This technology is one of the only socially responsible energy storage options in existence. As a "green" technology, the VRB is characterized by the lowest ecological impact of all energy storage technologies

Thursday we talked about energy transformation. Two days before, I participated in the walk-out. In the human motor, we learn about idleness and how the definition changed over time. In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, we see Hank Morgan, who comes from an era where idleness is not praised, live in an era where the King and knights live and wander aimlessly.
