There are numerous fuels about the Earth today. And you would find them all in very odd places. Coal and oil are the geological remnants of ancient swamps, and water rich plants. Ethanol is found in numerous farm plants such as corn. These fuels can spring up just about anywhere. But some of them are obviously better than others, when it comes to reducing CO2 in the atmospehre. Renewable energy is good for the environment, as stated in John R.E. Bliese's essay, "Renewable Energy Can Prevent Pollution." John R.E. Bliese tries to persuade Americans to turn to renewable sources of energy, by using logic, and the American sense of completion to prove his point.
The first thing he does is suggest for one of the best ways to reduce greenhouse gasses. He suggests several ideas such as switching to low carbon fuels. Other ideas he presents is to help relocate power plants to gain the maximum benefit from the powerplant, including taking advantage of any wasted heat. He explores numerous other options as well, such as solar power, alternatives to cleaner nuclear power, wind energy, and such products as ethanol. Mr. Bliese is trying to make the point that we do not really need gas, or propane or any of the dangerous CO2 emitting products. He is trying to get across the fact that these things are better, safer, and healthier than anything we're using now.
Throughout the article Bliese constantly goes on about different things that other countires have done. For example, "Sweden gets 14 percent of its energy from biomass and plans to increase this substantially" and "The European Union plans to generate 10 percent of its electrivity from wind by the year 2030." Americans generally are very competitive, and by saying, "hey, look what they are doing" most people will wonder why we aren't doing that, and if we are doing that, why aren't we doing it better than them?
Issues paper
The majority of people should accept evolution as science, rather than sticking with poor scientific explainations such as intelligent design.

Your paper has a good start. I think your paper could use some more analysis; I felt like there was a lot more summary than analysis. I would also make sure that you only put one idea in each paragraph. In your third paragraph there are multiple ideas that are going all at once. Good Luck with writing the rest of your paper!
I like the idea of your last paragraph. It is a good tool to pull out and analyze. I think you need to do more actual analysis though and explain more specifics of the author's intentions.
Your paper has a good start but defiinitely needs more analysis than summary. Your second paragraph is entirely summary and not any analysis of the author's rhetoric.
I agree, just work on analyzing everything a little more but i realize it's only a draft so you did a good job.
