4Introduction
5Introduction
Keeping the end results in mind
Some experts think that US energy consumption is
part of the reason behind the 911 terrorist
attacks?
6Introduction
Keeping the end results in mind
Some experts believe that fossil fuel emissions
is leading to Global Warming.
7Problem Statement Fueling the Future
Introduction
- The U.S. is too dependent on foreign oil, thus
keeping our country focused on the middle east. - ( The Oil - Terrorism - War Continuum
) - Coal Electric Plants and Automobile emissions are
polluting the air and causing global warming. - Philosophical conflicts between opinion leaders
to solve future energy needs. - Enormous financial costs in research and
development to diversify energy needs.
8Introduction
Predicted changes in US energy consumption by the
year 2100. Do we have philosophical conflicts
9Introduction
U.S. Electric Net Generation by Energy Source
10Introduction
Electric plants are the major buyer of coal,
accounting for 92 of all coal consumed.
11US Oil Imports
Introduction
Turning oil into gas for transportation vehicles
accounts for 65 of US consumption.
12Introduction
The End Result of the System Cycle
Burning coal and oil causes air pollution by
emitting sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in the
atmosphere, thus causing acid rain and
contributing to global warming.
13Global Warming is Happening
Introduction
- The U.S. has only 4 of the worlds population
but produces nearly 25 of the global warming
emissions. - The U.S. produces more global warming emissions
per capita than any other nation.

18Coal Oil - Gas
North American Energy Resources
- Over the past 25 years U.S. demand for energy has
increased by 35 while our supply has only
increased by 17. - We import 14 of the gas and 53 of the oil we
use.

Coal Production
- Coal production in the Untied States reached
1,112 million of tons in the year 2004 - Accounts for 51 of domestic energy production

Oil Crisis and Dirty Impacts
- Oil Crisis---Too dependent on foreign oil
- Impacts of our reliance on dirty energy sources
- - Global warming
- - Health effects from air pollution
- - Spills from oil
24Coal Oil - Gas
Health Effects from Air Pollution
- About 146 million people live in counties where
monitored air pollution levels in 2002 reached
unhealthy levels. - Highway vehicles are a major contributor to air
pollution in the U.S., producing 29-63 of key
chemicals that cause smog and health problems.
25Spills from oil
Coal Oil - Gas
- 1.7 million gallons of petroleum are spilled
into U.S. waters from vessels and pipelines in a
typical year - A single major spill can double that amount.
26Nuclear
27Nuclear
The Global Picture Today
- The first commercial nuclear power stations
started operation in the 1950s. - There are now some 441 commercial nuclear power
reactors operating in 31 countries, with a total
capacity of about 368 gigawatts. - They supply 16 of the world's electricity, as
base-load power, and their efficiency is
increasing.

Note Taipower uses nuclear energy to generate
22 of electricity on the island of Taiwan.
31Nuclear
Nuclear Power in US Today
- The USA has over 100(104) nuclear reactors.
- Producing a total of 97,400 megawatts (electric),
which is approximately 20 percent of the nation's
total electric energy consumption. - Extension of reactor lifetimes and new reactors.

energy by 80 percent - Used as stand-alone applications, or connected to
a utility power grid - Large amounts of Space and noise
39Renewable Energy
40Renewable Energy
Wind Power
- Personal wind power
- Built-up areas on roof tops
- Quite and cost less
- Cuts cost of electricity by two-thirds
41Renewable Energy
42Renewable Energy
Solar Power
- 1 of renewable electricity
- 0.02 percent of total U.S. electricity supply
- Heat water, lighting buildings or walk ways
- Reduces need by about two-thirds
