 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Wind Turbines on the west side of the island approximately C3 as it will receive strong westerly winds
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Solar Energy could be another form of energy that we could on the island as there is strong sunlight. This could be used to conduct electricity to assist with the different forms of communication on the island.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**__ Transport __** - How will you move things around The Island? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**Boats –** There is a port situated in B7 which will allow for import and exports of supplies and goods. This will also enable boats to dock while still allowing them to transport around the island. Suitable to travel bulky and large goods and cheap to transport large goods. As fuel (oil) is damaging to the envirnonment and it can also be scarce and expensive to use, possible options could be to use wind powered yachts/ferrys, electric boats or even hydrogen fuelled boats.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**Bikes –** This is a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to transport both people and goods around the island. However, there may need to be some paths constructed around the island for this form of transport to be effective. Note: The bikes will be more for travelling within each settlement and not between settlements.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- C 7/8 as this would be the most effective way to travel across lakes and swamps.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**Bridges –** These are essential for specific areas around the island for example:

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**Donkey/Horse/Camel** – would make them ideal carriers for supplies as they have tough hooves so don’t need shoes, are used to dry, hot conditions, they have a long lifespan and will help with maintenance of the bushland/grass.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**__ Communications __**** - ** what do you need to support communications within The Island and the rest of the world.


 * <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Birds - Could be implemented and trained to transport messages around the various areas of settlement.


 * <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Radios/ Walkie talkies - to be used on the island and for incoming transport (boats etc). Walkie Talkies and Radios use rechargable batteries via solar energy.


 * <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Laptops - As seen implemented in Nothern Territory. Creating laptops which have a built in solar engergy panel in order for the battery time to last. Skype, Facebook etc could possibly be the main source of communication on the Island. Laptops could show current news around the world and to help keep the Island up to date with current events.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">After we presented in week 3 about our recommendations these are some questions that we need to consider:

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Terrain (best postitons?) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- How do we get energy from where it is generated to where it is consumed? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Considering the distance of the island, are our recommendations for transport appropriate? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Why has the oil deposit been discarded? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Could we potentially trade this?
