Energy is the ability to do work Kinetic Energy
Energy contained in moving objects
Examples include your notebook falling down the stairs, your brother falling off the couch, water over a waterfall
Potential Energy Stored energy Two types: Physical and
Chemical Physical: examples
include your brother teetering on the edge of the couch, water about to go over waterfall
Chemical: Energy stored in chemical bonds. In the foods you eat, gas you burn

What you need to know about the Universe Energy and matter are conserved! Implications:
matter is recycled on Earth (a carbon atom that was once in a Tyrannosaurus Rex could be in your little pinky)
Energy can change forms (potential to kinetic), but will not magnify or diminish itself
1st Law of Thermodynamics
Energy is spread around as it is converted from one form to another – get less useful energy out than is put in
2nd Law of Thermodynamics

What you need to know about Energy on the EarthThe Earth’s energy comes from
The sun The Earth’s internal and gravitational
energyThe Sun’s energy powers
the weather the ocean waves and currents most living things your car!

Photosynthesis Net chemical reaction:
6H2O + 6 CO2 + solar energy (enabled by chlorophyll)
C6H12O6 (sugar) +6O2
Photosynthesis stores solar energy in chemical bonds
Energy can be used immediately for cellular respiration C6H12O6 (sugar) +6O2
6H2O + 6 CO2 + released energy Energy can be stored for millions of years in
organic deposits (fossil fuels)

Today’s oil is yesterday’s plankton Small marine and lake organisms live in
surface waters They die, fall to the bottom and get buried into
an organic rich sedimentary layer If geologic processes heat and squeeze
these rocks sufficiently, they will create crude oil and natural gas from the fossils
Crude oil and natural gas will migrate toward the surface
Geologic traps must exist to create an oil field
![Page 19: Energy to Power the World: I What is Energy Photosynthesis Fossil Fuels.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d605503460f94a40980/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What it has taken the Earth millions of years to form, we will use up in <1,000 years

That pesky second law of thermodynamics! 1/2 of all the energy in
primary fuels is lost during conversion to useable forms
2/3 of energy in coal is lost in power plant conversion to electricity
3/4 of energy in crude oil is lost by the time you finish burning it as gas in your car

Demographics of Energy Use The 20 richest countries consume
80% of natural gas 65% of oil 50% of coal
US and Canada have 5% of world population, use 25% of available energy Each person in US and Canada uses 60 barrels of
oil per year – more than an Ethiopian would use in a year
Developed countries that import a large proportion of their fuel have better conservation methods

Early steady growth in US oil production

What oil companies would have you believe
1,020 billion barrels of oil in reserve that will be just as cheap as it is today
Production can continue at today’s levels for many decades to come
![Page 41: Energy to Power the World: I What is Energy Photosynthesis Fossil Fuels.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d605503460f94a40980/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
What Campbell and Laherrere would have you believe
Amount of oil in reserve has been distorted
Production will not remain constant for very long
The last bucket of oil is not as easy to remove as the first
![Page 42: Energy to Power the World: I What is Energy Photosynthesis Fossil Fuels.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d605503460f94a40980/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Why distort reserves? Looks good, nobody
checks When countries
increase their reserves, they are allowed to export more oil

Hubbert Curve Flow of oil starts to
fall when ~1/2 of crude oil is gone
In 1956, M. King Hubbert of Shell Oil used this curve to successfully predict US peak in production in 1970 C & L, p. 80
![Page 45: Energy to Power the World: I What is Energy Photosynthesis Fossil Fuels.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d605503460f94a40980/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Global discovery peaked in 1960
Industry has found 90% of oil that exists
C & L, p. 82
![Page 46: Energy to Power the World: I What is Energy Photosynthesis Fossil Fuels.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d605503460f94a40980/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

How long will it last?
Perhaps more importantly, when will it become expensive?
C & L, p. 81

Major conclusionsUS oil production peaked in 1970Norway peaking about nowWorld production will peak this decade!By 2002, Mid-East will have control over
major part of supply

Oil will get expensive!1,000 billion barrels leftAt 20 billion barrels/year, will last ~50
yearsWill start to decline in production within
10 yearsOil shales and tar sands may help ease
pain, but will have environmental consequences

"The fundamental driver of the 20th Century's economic prosperity has been an abundant supply of cheap oil.... Middle East share ... is now about 30%. Unlike in the 1970s, this time it is set to continue to rise.... Share will likely reach 35% by 2002 and 50% by 2009. By then, the Middle East too will be close to its depletion midpoint, and unable to sustain production much longer irrespective of investment or desire."
C. J. CampbellOil and Gas Journal, March 20, 2000

“We are most fortunate to be living in a brief, bright interval of human history made possible by an inheritance from half-a-billion years of oil-forming Earth processes. We rarely give thought to the greatly depleted balance in the oil account we are leaving to future generations. When checks can no longer be written against that inheritance, world economies and lifestyles will undergo great changes. Life will go on, but it will be quite different from the present. Most people living today will see the beginning of thosetimes.”
Dr. Walter Youngquist, Geotimes, 1998

Nuclear Waste Staggering amount of damage already done
(1 curie=40 billion decays/sec.): US, Europe, Japan didn’t stop dumping in ocean
until 1970 (1.25 billion curies) Soviet/Russia didn’t stop until 1993 (2.5 billion
curies; 18 reactor cores at bottom of ocean!)
Where to put it now? In temporary storage waiting for permanent
storage Yucca Mountain $1 billion so far; $10 to $35 billion
by completion (2010?)

Conservation Like in water resources movie, where every
gallon of water conserved is equivalent to a new water source, every kilowatt of energy conserved is the same as a new energy source
Utility companies have found that conservation costs $350/kW; new coal plant $1000/kW
Superinsulated houses (i.e. Sweden) need 90% less energy

Fuel Cells The GE HomeGen 7000
fuel processor extracts the hydrogen from the gas or propane.
fuel cell changes the hydrogen to electricity.
power conditioner converts the fuel cell electricity to the type and quality of power that you use today.

Hydro Power
Trend to big dams Issues as described in in-class movie
Advantages of small turbines Submerged in stream; do not block navigation Can operate under low-flow conditions Don’t interfere with fish movement If stream runs year round, cheaper than solar or
wind

Wind PowerPlayed big role in settling Great PlainsSmall role now, but World Energy
Council says could replace 1-2 billion barrels of oil by 2020
Usually located in places impractical for residential use
Drawbacks: Affects scenery
