CleanTechnica created this blog regarding renewable energy application to homes. The blog has been active for almost three years, and the authors submit posts quite consistently. There are at least 2 posts every day. The authors use hyperlinks to link back to articles that support a point with scientific evidence such as environmental maps or statistical analysis. Hyperlinks are also used to provide the reader with background information on the article’s topic. Throughout the posts, many pictures and graphs are used. The graphs are mostly to provide support for an author’s explanation of a topic, while pictures show the reader what green technologies are being described and how they affect the environment.
The author of this blog post is Susan Kraemer and it came from the CleanTechnica blog site. It was written very recently on October 23, 2010. The tone was fairly similar to the tone I was aiming for in my research paper. It was non-biased and clearly stated the facts and pros and cons of each point, although it is a little more informal. It is set up in more of an experiment type format. This style more effectively describes the results of selling a solar versus non-solar powered home. Also, rather than stating numbers and statistics to show results as I did in my research paper, the author links back to other articles or graphs that show the statistical analysis of the green home market. This is probably an easier method to provide evidence on an online blog.
