NONRENEWABLE AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES Part 1

What do you think nonrenewable resources are? HMMMM.... What do you think nonrenewable resources are? Break it down... Nonrenewable? Resource?

NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown at a scale comparable to its consumption.

Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy. NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear fission uses uranium to create energy. Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable resource because once the uranium is used, it is gone!

COAL, PETROLEUM, AND GAS Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered nonrenewable because they can not be replenished in a short period of time. These are called fossil fuels.

HOW IS COAL MADE ???

HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COAL AND OIL/GAS?

HMMMM.... If nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be re-made at a scale comparable to its consumption, what are renewable resources?

RENEWABLE RESOURCES Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time. ● Solar ● Geothermal ● Wind ● Biomass ● Water

Why is energy from the sun renewable? SOLAR Energy from the sun. Why is energy from the sun renewable?

GEOTHERMAL Energy from Earth’s heat. Why is energy from the heat of the Earth renewable?

Why is energy from the wind renewable?

BIOMASS Energy from burning organic or living matter. Why is energy from biomass renewable?

WATER or HYDROELECTRIC Energy from the flow of water. Why is energy of flowing water renewable?

What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources? SUMMARY What are the differences between nonrenewable and renewable resources?

One Final Note… Sooo, after we pull the natural resources, what do we do with them? We make them into Goods and Services You hear a lot about goods and services but what are they? Goods: are tangible (real) things you manufacture (make) Eg. Making mittens, cars, tables etc… Services: Are things you do (service) for others Eg. Clean the house, do heart surgery, selling a car or book

Sources of Energy Can you identify the 9 different sources of energy depicted in this drawing?

Sources of Energy Fossil Fuels 67% Nuclear 7% Renewable 26% Coal 12% Natural Gas 24% Oil 31% Nuclear 7% Renewable 26% Hydro Wind Solar Geothermal Tidal

Sources of Energy Solar Source Pros Cons Sun free source unlimited env. friendly not efficient expensive set-up

Sources of Energy Geothermal Source Pros Cons Natural heat coming from the Earth free source unlimited env. friendly expensive set-up few locations

Sources of Energy Biomass Source Pros Cons Burning natural products or waste free source env. friendly gets rid of waste environment better use of natural products?

Sources of Energy Hydro Source Pros Cons Moving river water cheap source env. friendly recreation flooding impacts expensive set-up

Sources of Energy Waves Source Pros Cons Ocean waves free source unlimited navigation safety eyesore

Sources of Energy Tides Source Pros Cons Rising and falling water free source unlimited two-way only 25 locations navigation safety eyesore

Sources of Energy Wind Source Pros Cons Moving air free source env. friendly expensive set-up eyesore, birds inconsistent source

Sources of Energy Nuclear Source Pros Cons Atom splitting not expensive source lots of source safety concerns expensive set-up weapons possible

Sources of Energy Fossil Fuels Source Pros Cons Burning of coal, oil, or natural gas not expensive source or set-up readily available environment not renewable

The Energy System List the names of the stages in order as they appear.

The Energy System 1. Sources

The Energy System 2. Transmission

The Energy System 3. Distribution

The Energy System 4. Usage at Home

The Energy System

Saving Energy at Home air leaks (40%!) insulation heating & cooling equipment appliance efficiency and use lighting types and uses window shades thermostat levels

Air Leaks in the House 1. Chimney 2. Bathroom fans 3. Plumbing vents 4. Soffit vents 5. Blower door 6. Header space where floor joints of structure meet top of basement walls. 7. Air infiltration from where baseboards meet the floor. 8. Ceiling light outlets 9. Air conditioning units/vents 10. Air extraction fans in kitchen 11. Air infiltration around windows 12. Warm air loss through unsealed fireplace chimney 13. Unsealed openings in walls for services. 14. Furnace. 15. Dryer vents
