  5. What is Energy? • Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. • Energy: • 1. Makes things move • 2. Makes things grow • 3. Runs machines • 4. Exists in many forms • Nuclear Energy is one kind of energy. • www.physics.about.com

  6. Where the U.S. gets its energy:9% is nuclear energy USA Today 3/21/2011

  7. Q: Why care about Nuclear energy?A: Electricity

  8. Energy Game Question #1 1. What is the biggest use of electricity at home? • A. Water Heater • B. Refrigerator • C. Air Conditioner • D. Computer • E. Aquarium

  9. Energy Game Question #1 1. What is the biggest use of electricity at home? A. Water Heater 2190 Kilowatt hours/year B. Refrigerator 642 C.Air Conditioner 3100 D. Computer 520 E. Aquarium 700

  10. U.S. Electricity Fun Facts • The amount of electricity Americans use doubles about every twenty years. • Electricity consumption is expected +45% by 2030 • Houses are the biggest electricity users in the U.S. Nuclear power supplies 20% of the electricity in the U.S. www.getenergyaware.org

  11. Where the US gets its Electricity:20% is from nuclear energy.

  12. Confused? It’s Cars vs. Houses! US ENERGY US ELECTRICITY Oil 38% 3% Gas 25 18 Coal 21 50 Nuclear 9 20 Other* 7 9 *Other= hydro, wind, geothermal

  13. NUCLEAR ENERGY MATTERS BECAUSE IT IS THE #2 SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE USA.

  16. The History of Nuclear Energy Source: Energy Information Administration

  17. World Energy Trends • First nuclear power stations in 1950’s • 440 nuclear power stations in 30 countries. • Nuclear energy is 6% of the world’s energy. www.world-nuclear.org

  18. Energy Game Question #3 • Which continent uses the most energy? A. Africa B. Asia C. North America D. South America E. Europe

  19. Energy Game Question #3 • Which continent uses the most energy of any kind? A. Africa B. Asia C. North America D. South America E. Europe

  20. World Energy Trends

  21. Key Countries in Nuclear Energy Debate www.world-nuclear.org

  22. Key Countries in Nuclear Energy Debate 1. France: Biggest dependency on nuclear energy 2. S. Korea: Nuclear defense 3. Ukraine: Chernobyl 4. Germany: Shutting down all nuclear plants 5. Japan: Fukushima Tragedy 6. USA: No new nuclear plants since the 1990’s 7. China: Alarming need for energy

  23. Electricity Production USA World COAL 50% Nuclear 20 Gas 18 Oil 3 Hydro 2 Other 7 41% 13 21 6 16 3 WWW.WORLD.NUCLEAR.ORG

  24. How do you know if it’s a good choice? 1. Is it fair to all users? 2. How much does it cost? 3. Can we use it for a long time?

  25. WHICH ONE IS BEST?

  26. Your Mission… Among all energy sources, is nuclear power the best choice to meet future world energy consumption needs? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE A DECISION?

  27. Step 1: Define Your Terms! RESOLVED: Among all energy sources, nuclear power is the best choice to meet future world energy consumption needs.

  28. Step 1: Define Your Terms! RESOLVED: Among all energy sources, nuclear power is the best choice to meet future world energy consumption needs.

  29. Step 1: Define Your Terms! • Energy Sources: What are the choices? If not nuclear, what instead? • Nuclear power:What are the risks and benefits? • Best:Is “best” a financial, environmental, safety-related, or fair concept? • World energy consumption needs: What is the real need?

  30. Unit Overview: The next 13 weeks • Research Training and Techniques • Two Outlines Two Essays 1 Pro 1 Con • Formal Debate!
