Energy

Obtaining Energy

• Solar Energy 
• Drilling for Oil and Natural Gas
• Oil Fracking
• Nuclear Energy
• Off Shore

Solar Energy

Drilling for Oil and Natural Gas:

Complex process of drilling and pumping oil from the ground.

Fracking:
refers to the procedure of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open.

Nuclear Energy:
the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity

Offshore:
Situated at sea some distance from the shore.

Transforming Energy

• Oil Refinery
• Crude Oil
• Coal Mining
• Natural Gas

Oil Refinery:
industrial process plant where crude oil is processed

Crude Oil:
can be refined to produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of petrochemicals.

Coal Mining:
a mine or pit from which coal is obtained.

Natural Gas:
flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground

Distributing Energy

• Pipeline 
• Ships
• Power Grid 
• Power Substations 

Pipeline:
A long pipe typically underground conveying oil, gas, etc. Over long distances

Ships:
A vessel larger than a boat for transporting people or goods by sea.

Power grid:
A network of electrical transmission line connecting a multiplicity of generating stations to load over a wide area

Power substations:
Generating transmission and distrubution system and distubting system

Non- Renewable

• Oil
• Natural Gas
• Coal
• Uranium 

Oil:
A viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as a fuel or lubrican

Natural Gas:
Consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons occuring naturally underground and used as fuel

Coal:
A combustible black brown rock consisting of carbonized plant matter

Uranium:
The chemical element of atomic number of 92 a grey dense radioactive metal

Renewable

• Solar 
• Wind
• Geothermal
• Hydropower
• Biomass

Solar:
Determined by the sun

Wind:
Perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction

Geothermal:
Internal heat of the earth

Hydro-power:
Electricity generated using the energy of moving water

Biomass:
The total mass of organisms in a given area or volume

Impacts

• Envioronmental impact by energy sources
• Pros of each type
• Cons of each type

Enviormental Impacts

• Biofuels: such as Biomass, Ethanol, and Biodiesel
• Coal:Coal mining has the potential to harm air, water and land quality if it is not done with proper care.
• Geothermal: Geothermal power plants have relatively little environmental impact
• Hydropower: Hydroelectric power plants may harm fish populations, change water temperature
• Petrolium is oil and gas

Pros of Solar energy

• Nonpolluting 
• System last 15-30 years

Cons of Solar energy

• High inital investment 
• Dependant on sunny weather

Pros of Wind Energy

• Affordable
• No emission

Cons of Wind Energy

• Output is proportional on wind speed
• Extensive land use

Way to conserve energy

Conserve Energy

• Set water heater no higher than 120 degrees
• Wash clothes on cold water
• Only wash clothes with hot water when really dirty
• Turn off unessacery lighting
• Turn computer and monitor off when not using

Six Degrees

Six Degrees:
The temperature changing six degrees can change the world. Why? because of global warming. The impact in all this is that global seas could rise an average height of 20 feet causing flooding and the ice to break in antartica and other places.
