  1. TITLE: Fuels • TASK: Write a definition for each of the words below: • TURBINE • FOSSIL FUEL • EMISSIONS • RELIANCE/DEPENDENCE • IMPORTS/EXPORTS • NET IMPORTER • EXPLOIT • CO2 • THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT • HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER • LANDFILL • RENEWABLE ENERGY Geothermal Power, Iceland

  2. TURBINE – a mechanism that turns to make electricity. • FOSSIL FUEL – coal, oil and gas. • EMISSIONS – gases given off when something is burnt. • RELIANCE/DEPENDENCE – to need something or someone else. • IMPORTS/EXPORTS – bought from/sold to another country. • NET IMPORTER – importing more than you export. • EXPLOIT – to use something. • CO2 – carbon dioxide (causes the greenhouse effect) • THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT – the Earth getting warmer. • HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER – making electricity from dams. • LANDFILL – where rubbish is buried. • RENEWABLE ENERGY – energy that can be re-used.

  6. TASK: THE ELECTRICITY CALCULATOR • Questions: • 1. What would happen if all of our electricity came from renewable sources? (think about the good and the bad effects) • What would happen if all of our electricity came from non-renewable sources? (again, good and bad) • What would happen if we reduced demand for electricity? • What do you think we should do?
