  1. The World of Clean Energy Presented by Dylan Foster

  2. What’s ahead!? Renewable Facts Clean Sources The Dirty Filthy Energy

  3. Renewable Energy in this form makes up a great amount of the world’s energy today. Understanding how to spot reliable sources has been a major concern (public opinion) when debating/discussing possible ways to invest or criticize the current state of the market. Today is the day to take a further step in educating the general public on the world of Renewable Energy. Knowing and understanding the benefits, along with potential downfalls, will help train the minds of many aspiring citizens who not only want to feel involved, but become undoubtedly confident about Renewable Energy.

  4. Being tested, Solar Panels can produce up to a 1000watts of electricity, equal too the sun’s “Peak Hour” This is what you call Solar Panels

  5. In the past 12 months manufacturing jobs have grown over 25 percent prior to August 2012 to now. By the end of this year an expected 13,000+ distribution and sales jobs will be available. The U.S. solar industry currently employees over 119,000 Americans. There has been a 13.2 percent employment growth in the Solar Energy sector.

  6. Example of “Peak Hour” Considered the hottest part of the day.

  7. During May 16th, 2013, Electric Reliability Council of Texas announced solar power generation grew by 265 percent from 2011-2012. 32.5 million megawatt hours of generation has been installed using Wind Turbines, which stands as the majority of Texas renewable energy source. Reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall economy rate grew 2.3 percent. 1 in 230 jobs created nationally are created in the solar industry.

  8. Wind Turbines convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. The wind blowing into the turbine through the nacelle (that sits on top of a pillar) rotates three high tech blades, which receive movement from the air blowing A wind turbine can be defined as a device which rotates in order to produce the energy derived from the movement of the wind's kinetic energy, into electrical energy. In short, this is the cleanest zero emissions motor spinning on this side of the universe.

  9. 5 nations produce 75% of their energy needs through Wind Energy Wind is the fastest-growing energy sector Wind famers may contain hundreds of turbines at a time Denmark receives the majority of its energy from wind energy, up to 1/5 of its energy needs More efficient than any other renewable source, EROI = 23:1, oppose to coal which = 11:1 Over 85,000 people have found employment in this sector Hundreds of colleges are offering program degrees to train people for jobs in the renewable energy field

  10. The Break down of a Wind Turbine

  11. Wind turbines produce zero emissions into the air once installed for production. Running a 1-megawatt wind turbine for 1 year helps prevent 1,500 tones of carbon dioxide, 6.5 tones of sulfur dioxide, 3.2 tones of nitrogen oxides, and 60 lb of mercury, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) One of the only few accidents recorded. In one study Wind Turbines produced 23 times more energy than it consumed. The energy return-on-investment (EROI) shatters the numbers of nuclear energy with a ratio of 16:1, coal 11:1 and natural gas 5:1. Meaning Wind energy can supply hundreds of regions, from farmland to industrialized cities, desperately needing peak power supply daily.

  12. The Exxon Mobile Factory Dirty Pollution Filled Energy, known as Natural Gas, Oil, and Nuclear The Biggest Exxon Mobile factory complex in the world….Texas

  13. Documented results of air pollution not authorized by the Federal Clean Air Act, has accounted for 57 tons of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, along with other harmful pollutants. Many occurrences documented as "accidents" or formally termed "tripped" which happens when a malfunction occurs with a compressor. 1,246lbs of Hydrogen Sulfide Around 6,500lbs of nitrogen oxides 1 ton of Human Carcinogens Benzene Around 206,000lbs of Sulfur Dioxide 38,000lbs of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) 206,000lbs of sulfur dioxide

  14. The Clean Air Act is meant to prevent this kind of waste The Clean Air Act is a law enacted by Congress, which is responsible for improving, and maintaining the sustainability of our current air quality. The Clean Air Act Amendments intend to be responsible for helping prevent over 230,000 deaths which are caused by poor air quality, due to pollutants. There has been major changes in the law to help improve it's efficiency and impact on our environment, personal health, along with the stratospheric ozone layer.

  15. According to the EPA about 72,000 Houston area residents are affected by the pollution of refinery. As of today a petition is being signed (besides the current trial) asking for Texans suffering from this air pollution, to come together with the help of the Texas Commission on Environment Quality, and the Environmental Protection Agency, to help compel Texas to agree with their plea through the form of a Federal Implementation Plan.
