Where does our energy come
from?
![Page 5: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Can energy be “made”?
ENERGY CAN NOT BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED
The 1st law of thermodynamics says that….
![Page 6: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So….How do we get our energy?
![Page 7: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It can be CONVERTED…..
From potential to kinetic energy

So what form is our energy converted from?
Most of our energy comes from CHEMICAL ENERGY that is stored
in FOSSIL FUELS
![Page 10: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Much of the world’s energy still comes from coal.
• The US generates ½ its electricity from coal
• it’s cheap & plentiful
![Page 18: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What are the advantages of using coal?
•There’s plenty of it
•It’s relatively cheap
•Our conventional power stations are designed to use it.
![Page 19: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are the disadvantages of using coal?
•Coal is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels.
•When burned, it produces emissions that contribute to global warming, create acid rain and pollute water •Damage to water,
buildings, wildlife, & habitat
•Dangerous to Miners•There have been 104,000 deaths in US mines since 1900
•29 miners died in 2012 in West Virginia.

Millions of years ago, the dead bodies of living things settled to the bottom of the ocean. As they were buried, the remains turned slowly into OIL.
![Page 24: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The oil is trapped in pockets in the rock.
![Page 25: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Oil is pumped up from deposits deep underground.
![Page 26: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sometimes the oil rigs are off-shore.

NATURAL GAS….
…FROM THE SAME SOURCES AS OIL
![Page 41: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Natural gas can also be used as a fuel to generate heat, and from that, electricity
![Page 42: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Frackingoverview
• Define fracking and explain the process in general.
•What are some possible environmental impacts of fracking?
•Explain why some people are concerned about the fracking process.
•Do you think that gas drilling companies should be compelled to tell the public which chemicals they are using? Why or why not?
•What scientific evidence so far suggests a possible link between fracking and human illness?
• How would you design an investigation to establish a possible link between fracking and negative impacts on human health?

Oil refineries….
![Page 47: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Just about everywhere, we are pouring pollutants out into the air
![Page 48: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
So, no matter what fossil
fuel we use to make
electricity, it can be
contributing to global
warming.
![Page 49: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
…and acid rain.
![Page 50: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
….and what about NUCLEAR power?
-using nuclear reactions to produce energy for commercial use.
-Involves nuclear fission– the splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei.
-This involves a release of a lot of heat energy which can be used to generate electricity.
![Page 51: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Nuclear power has advantages in that the fuel lasts a long time.
But the disadvantage is that the used fuel is very dangerous and there is always the risk of radiation leaks causing cancer.
![Page 52: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Vermont Yankee
•Located in Vernon, Vermont on the banks of the Connecticut River•VY provides over 1/3 of Vermont's electricity.•Since acquiring VY in 2002, Entergy has saved its New England customers about $250 million. •VYemploys 650 people •VY also generates more than $100 million in economic benefits through payroll, taxes and local purchases.•The large amount of power - 650 megawatts - produced at VY reduces the need to build other power plants that emit pollutants and greenhouse gasses.
![Page 53: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• VY has 76 documented cracks in its steam dryer • There have been 3 fires in VY's transformer
station. • One fire resulted in the loss of a critical
reactor-cooling pump. • Entergy has violated the Clean Water Act
because it is increasing the temperature of the Connecticut river several degrees in winter, threatening native fish and other wildlife.• VY's storage system for radioactive waste
fuel is dangerously overcrowded. • Because there is no viable waste storage
solution, Entergy will be indefinitely storing its radioactive waste on the banks of the Connecticut River.
The Opposition:•Vermont Yankee is one of the oldest nuclear power plants in the country•The nuclear facility is running at 20% above its designed capacity
![Page 54: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
More Recently:• A tritium leak was found in January 2010• Vermont Senate voted overwhelmingly in February 2011 to shut the plant in 2012 when its operating license expires•Last spring a group of senators announced that they will attempt to reverse this decision.
•They claim that over 1000 jobs will be lost if Yankee closes•The opposition claims that developing renewables would start creating more jobs by 2024 than would keeping Vermont Yankee open without also developing renewables.
•Last fall, a federal court ruled that Vermont Yankee could keep running despite a decision by state Legislature to the contrary• Yesterday (5/1/12) the Public Service Board request for a certificate of public good allowing the nuclear power plant to operate for another 20 years.

Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy are considered to be Nonrenewable Resources
•substances in limited supply that cannot be replaced.
![Page 57: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
SO WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT
IT?
![Page 58: What is Energy? The ability to do work. We use energy to do a lot Here’s the breakdown of how it’s used:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ce55503460f949b2397/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
USE MORE RENEWABLE RESOURCES
NOTE: these are NOT “reusable” resources - NO fuel can be re-used! It just means they can be replaced
-- substances that can be replaced

Wind turbine to power Hinesburg libraryPublished: Monday, April 9, 2007
• Several years ago, a small wind turbine will be installed in Hinesburg's Geprags Park that powers the library.
• The turbine used a grant from Vermont Department of Public Service and cost about $25,000.
•"You should build small wind turbines like you build cars -- you should be building thousands of them, not hundreds," Blittersdorf said. "That's what's necessary to get the cost down."

Lowell Mountain
• Green Mountain Power plans to erect 21 wind turbines, each rising to 459 feet from the ground to the tip of the blades.
• 75 percent of voters in the town of Lowell supported the project, and 90 percent of Vermonters support wind, 74 percent strongly.
• To mitigate the effect of the 175-acre development, more than 2,000 acres of prime animal habitat will be conserved.
• Vermont’s importing almost 90 percent of its energy
