The Thunder Power Electric Sedan
By: Samuel Desai


Ten years ago, Tesla Motors (commonly known as Tesla on our blog), was an uncommonly known start-up. They had less than 100 employees, and they had just unveiled their first car to the press roughly one month earlier. Now there is a lot of talk about the start-up Faraday Futures and their car FFZERO1. You will have to wait two more weeks to read the post about them.

The Thunder Power Electric Sedan is a new car which was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show last month. Although the acceleration isn't as fast as a Tesla Model S (3.2 seconds at the base model), but it can accelerate from 0-60 ~5 seconds. That is average for a sporty electric car. Most people don't need fast acceleration. Unless you are a race car driver, it is unnecessary. It appreciable, but unnecessary. What  matters is the range. This car has a stellar range, with over 400 miles of driving. You can get to Richmond from New York City, with 50 miles extra. The tesla has 2/3 of the range, only getting 250 miles on a charge. It also can charge pretty quickly at home. It can charge 186 miles in 30 minutes, which isn't bad. It's better than the tesla. But the Porsche Mission E concept can charge 250 miles in 15 minutes. This still isn't bad charging for Thunder Power. Surprisingly, the Thunder Power Electric Sedan will only be $66,000. That is the same price as a Tesla base model. The car will be available in Europe (2017) Asia (2018) and will be in the US (To be released).

Air Pollution (grade levels 4-8)

Air Pollution Next post in series Samuel Desai Many environmental activists, unlike me, like to say that pollution is an important issue. I prefer to categorize them into three different topics. Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, and Light Pollution. The other types of pollution are for another week but don't worry, you will hear about them soon. You may believe that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it the only pollutant, but it isn't. There are others. One type is methane gas, emitted by livestock and swamps. Another CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons which were used in refrigerators, hairspray, and many other things. But they were banned internationally in 2010 because of its deteriorating effect on the ozone layer. Personally, I think that the pollutant which harms us the most is sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide is a component in smog, but also reflects sunlight out into space, causing a global cooling. This may seem good, but sulfur dioxide is directly linked

The Tesla model X is a family friendly,  and and safe car. It seats 7, with 2 fold-able seats in the third row. The signature series, includes a 90 kWh battery pack, autopilot and self driving functions, and third  row seats. for 10,000 more dollars, ludicrous mode will be added to the X, making it go from 0-60 in  3.2   seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, for 1,000 more dollars, there is the subzero weather package, including heated steering wheel, seat heaters, heated washer fluid, and wiper defrosters. Also, for 750 more dollars, the car will be able to heave 5000 lbs. The falcon wing doors that the X has have sensors to keep them from slamming into walls, so it will stop at a certain point. I used Business Insider, and you can read the article  here. Check out Tesla's page while you'r

On No! Bees Are Endangered Because of Habitat Alteration ! By: Kaden Chien The IUCN has recently discovered a new Species of Bees called Bombus Fraternus. The Bombus Fraternus is a North American bee that is Endangered because of Habitat Alteration. This may be due to human activity such as Cutting down Trees or pollution. This species may go extinct in 80-90 years if this activity keeps up. Efforts to help with this species is going up. But what is strange is that where there are larger efforts, the population in those states are decreasing more than other states! The studies show that the c urrent range size relative to historic range: 71.38% and the  Persistence in current range relative to historic occupancy: 43.33% also, the c urrent relative abundance relative to historic values: 14.40% and lastly, the a verage decline: 56.96%.  If you want an image of a Bombus Fraternus you will see one down there: Now you will find the scientific classification of the Bombus Frat
