Trumbull Satellite

by Morgan Brook With the new mask mandate, there are many mixed feelings about it, however there are also many students around the Kent State Trumbull Campus who feel relief. Some feel that it is helping life feel more normal again being able to not have a mask on. While others do not like the mask mandate lift. There are still mask mandates while in the classroom, but the restriction has been lifted outside of the classroom in places such as the cafeteria, library, student union, and in the hallways.

by Kyle Lambert No matter what your stance is politically, economically, or ethically, there is no denying that the energy sources the world uses today are unsustainable. There is simply no way to create more petroleum or natural gas. Current estimations of how much oil is left on Earth sit within the range of 50-75 years at current consumption rates, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Alternative energy sources such as solar provide electricity generated from the sun’s energy rather than fossil fuels. There are two types of solar energy: concentrated solar power and photovoltaic power. Concentrated solar power (CSP) works similarly to how we currently use fossil fuels to…

Several hundred travelers have been detained at military quarantine facilities. World leaders are preparing to order nationwide lockdowns, curfews are soon to be implemented, and the military police will be deployed to enforce a new code of law.
