     Samuel was a trusted friend of the governor of 

North Carolina. Samuel   was always a useful 

person to go to if the governor needed something. 

The governor asked Samuel to find new ways to 

power North Carolina's major cities like Raleigh, 

Cary, and Charlotte. Samuel said "sure anything to 

help a friend". 

Samuel and the governor worked out the specifics 

and then Samuel was off to go find out about new 

energy sources such as Wind, Tidal, Solar, and 

Biofuel by meeting Engineers who knew about 

each energy source.

Putt Putt which is Samuels talking truck was on 

the nearby road waiting for him to get out. 

Samuel then walked out of the Governor's 

house to talk to him. Samuel said "hey Putt 

Putt we have a new job. Putt Putt asked 

"Whats our new job partner"? Samuel 

explained that they had to try to find a new 

energy source for North Carolina's major cities. 

"Alright then lets go find out what would be the 

best option" Putt Putt said.

"Hello you must be Samuel, the Governor told me that you would 

show up I am an engineer focused on wind energy".   "Yes I am 

Samuel and the Governor said that you would tell me about wind 

energy". "Wind Energy is generated by the wind pushing on the 

blades of the fans and this spins a turbine which creates the 

electricity". "Some good things about using wind energy are that it 

produces no pollution and is generated by the wind which you don't 

have to pay for". Samuel then asked " wow that sure sounds great 

are there any downsides to it"? " Wind mills which produce the 

energy can be knocked down or hurt if there is any bad weather and 

they are really loud so people don't like to be near them". Samuel 

asked "wow those aren't that bad where can windmills be put"? " 

Well the winds can't be too strong or too soft so only in a few places 

like in the mountains and near the ocean". Samuel said " wind 

energy sounds really good but I will have to learn more about the 

other sources before I make up my mind". Samuel and the Engineer 

said goodbye and samuel was off to learn more about Tidal Energy.

 Samuel then went to the beach to talk to another 

engineer this one focused on Tidal Energy. Samuel and 

the Tidal Engineer said hello. Samuel asked the 

engineer " what are the upsides of tidal energy"? The 

Engineer responded " Tidal Energy is very predictable 

and we know when it will work and when it won't, the 

tides always go in and out so it isn't limited, and we 

know that it hardly hurts the environment at all". The 

Engineer said "The main problem with tidal energy is 

that it only works underwater and near the coast but 

fortunately North Carolina has a lot of area's that will 

work for this".

 The Engineer said "tidal Energy is created 

when the tides push the blades of a fan 

causing it to spin and this spins a turbine 

which creates the energy".

"This is a picture of what they might look like if 

they got installed" the Engineer showed 

Samuel the picture.
