Opinions/Agree
Lucy: A solar system can save energy. She will be getting married soon, so she is worried about her children in the future when a nuclear give a damage to them.
Ashley: A solar system is cheaper than a nuclear one in a long term. It only costs for the first time. She thinks that a solar system can save energy too. She is worried about a damage to their environment.
Sara: A nuclear is harmful for humen and nature. Also, it has a risk, for instanse, a radiation problem. It has nothing happened so far, but she is worried about the future.
Opinions/ Disagree
Sophie: If they built a solar system, it would be needed a large space. For that, they have to kill nature and many plants. There are many rare plants in Apollo and many people come to see them, so if the palnts would be gone, it would affect to main industry in Apollo.
Emily: A solar system is unstable and depends on weather. She is a singer, so when she has concerts, she needs much energy. If the energy was unstable, it would affect to her job and life.
Opinions/Audiance
1. Why did you guys choose a solar system though there are other systems like a wind power or a geothermal power?
2. Why don't you guys try to campaign for saving energy?
Consensus
They think that a solar system is not good enough for them now, so they keep using a nuclear power until they find a better system to live better lives. Also, they try to listen to what people who live there think of it.
Final comments
It seemed that they just picked a solar system randomly. They should have thought about it deeply. Yet, in the end, they realized it and think about their future more wisely, so I think the discussion was a sucsess. Listening to the citizens' opinions more lead them to a better idea.
