Database assignment

The database assigned that Mr. Bevill introduced is a useful method when searching for a topic initially. For practice, I searched using the Web of Science and Sustainability Science Abstracts databases for my designated major in chemistry for Green Chemistry and Clean renewable energy sources. Surprisingly, I found many articles related to my search category in the recent publication year of 2011. The reason for this cause is mostly likely the influence that President Obama had proposed a Balanced Approach for the American society by eliminating the fiscal deficit and in the meantime investing for our future into education and clean energy. According to his proposed budget, the government is proposing to provide $29.5 billion for the Department of Energy sector in clean energy, nuclear security and research/development. Not only that is an advantage for the society in many beneficial ways, but it also provides more funding for my dad's job at the ORNL to develop these new clean energy sources. By all means, the database search provided excellent sources for technical papers written by scientists in order to promote new ideas and methods for clean energy development. I am proud that the new America is rising and advancing in order to remain in the competition with other countries around the world.
