Response to Press Release
One method used in my press release would be to inform the public of the dangers of depleting the coal supply. This would include the amount of coal that is left and the amount that is produced each year. I would also inform the public of how the depletion of the coal supply would affect their everyday lives. People would have to find an alternative source of electricity. Since the coal industry employs many people, these Americans would have to find another job.
Another method used in my press release would be to tell the public of a new technology that is being used to generate electricity. This press release would include the cost of this method to generate electricity. It would also include the amount of new jobs that were created and the effects on the environment. Since most of the public does not know very much about alternative energy sources, this press release would hopefully tell the public that there is other ways to generate electricity other than burning coal. It would also tell the public about the advantages and disadvantages of using other sources to produce electricity.
Another press release could include telling the public how fast the coal supply is depleting. Most of our electricity comes from burning coal. If we keep producing coal at the current rate, the coal supply will not last for future generations. This could be prevented by using less electricity of using alternative sources of electricity. If we deplete the coal supply, future generations will be forced to spend millions of dollars to generate electricity by alternative sources.
