  1. EnergyResourcesThe world ran out of energy what will we use By: Abby Martin

  2. Coal • Cons: • Coal is a nonrenewable resources • Burning coal lets of harmful waste • Coal ash is hazards and a disposal problem • Pros: • Coal is on of the most abundant sources of energy • Coal is widely and easily distributed all over the world • Can be converted into a gas or a liquid witch burns cleaner

  3. Hydroelectric • Cons: • Hydroelectric power production require flooding of entire valleys and scenic areas. • Changes in river or stream quality • It needs a larger enough reservoir • Pros: • Pollution is rarely created • It’s a renewable resource • It’s very important because a lot of people use it and depend on it

  4. Wind • Cons: • Animals like birds are killed by wind turbines • Wind turbines are very noisy, people that live near them are annoyed by them • The wind turbans can get damaged very easily by a storm and lighting • Pros: • Renewable Resource • Very low cost • The biggest benefit is one can reap out of wind energy that it generates electricity, but does not produce any harmful waste

  5. Gas/oil/propane (Fossil Fuels) • Cons: • Non-renewable rescore • It contains a large amount of carbon dioxide • Gas/Oil/ and Propane is contains a large amount of harmful wastes • Pros: • It’s lighter than air • It can be used for cooking, your car, etc… • They can be easily transported from place to place

  6. Solar • Cons: • They take up a lot of space • They only work when the sun is shinning • Cloudy, rainy, etc. weather can effect how the solar cells that produce energy • Pros: • Renewable resource • Non-polluting • If you live in a dessert a remote village a big city etc. is available to everyone

  7. Bio-fuel(biomass) • Cons: • the levels of power/energy it produces are not high enough • The main issue is producing biofuels in a sustainable way • Lost of habitat because of cultivating • Pros: • Apart from the fact that bio fuels help us to keep the environment clean, they also help us to use the resources provided by nature in an effective way. • Renewable Resource • Once the technology is widely available, biofuels can be significantly less expensive than gasoline and other fossil fuels

  8. Nuclear • Pros: • Nuclear has a very low pollution • Nuclear power plants need little fuel, so they are less vulnerable to shortages because of strikes or natural disasters • Cons: • The byproducts of the fissioning of uranium-235 remains radioactive for thousands of years, requiring safe disposal away from society until they lose their significant radiation values • Radiation doses of about 200 rems cause radiation sickness, but only if this large amount of radiation is received all at once

  9. My opinion on wind • Wind. • Wind is a renewable resource. I chose wind because it is windy in almost every state. I did not choose Gas, oil and propane because it is not a renewable resource as well as Nuclear, and Coal. Nonrenewable is something that if you use it all up it cant be use again. Renewable is something that can be use over and over and it can never run out like Wind, Geothermal, Bio-fuel, Solar, and Hydroelectric.
