The Energy crisis We are running out of energy. We need think about how we will make energy in the future.

We all use energy all day, everyday!

Most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil.

We are running out of fossil fuels and they are polluting our world. We will need almost 60% more energy in 30 years. Oil experts estimate that we will use all our oil reserves within the next 40 years!

Imagine you were running the country. What types of energy would you use? Wind, sea, nuclear, solar, coal? Look at the different types of energy then discuss your choices.

Wind power Onshore wind power has the potential to provide a valuable income for rural Wales, particularly to farmland communities in upland areas. AdvantagesDisadvantages Renewable. Non-polluting. A well proven technology. Does not produce power when the wind isn't blowing. Local residents are often against development as it changes the local landscape.

Sea power The sea around the Welsh coast has the potential to generate large amounts of electricity by harnessing the power of the tides, currents and Waves. Wales has strong sea currents and some of the highest tidal ranges in the world. AdvantagesDisadvantages Renewable. Non-polluting. Relatively new technology. Local residents are often against development as it changes the local landscape. Plans are being discussed for Swansea Bay, Severn Estuary and Liverpool Bay.

Nuclear power AdvantagesDisadvantages Relatively cheap to make. Does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel. Nuclear power produces toxic radioactive waste which will last for tens and thousands of years. Nuclear power stations and the trains, lorries and ships that transport nuclear fuel waste could be an easy and devastating target for terrorists. There are currently 16 nuclear power plants in Britain – all will close by The idea is that other renewable energy sources will replace nuclear power production and relieve Britain's reliance on fossil-fuels. However, the government is currently being advised to build further nuclear power stations if they are to meet greenhouse gas emission targets. This picture shows Trawsfynydd nuclear power station in the Snowdonia National Park. It closed in The nuclear reactors are still held within the building.

Solar power AdvantagesDisadvantages It is a well proven technology. Well suited to providing power in home or single building applications. Renewable. They are expensive to buy. Making them requires a lot of energy. Solar roof tiles use light from the sun to create electricity or hot water. Houses with lots of tiles could generate more electricity than they use – this could be sold back to local electricity companies.

Coal, gas and oil. AdvantagesDisadvantages Relatively cheap to produce but prices are rising. The resources are running out. Most scientists believe they are heating up our planet. They pollute the air we breath and produce acid rain which damages buildings and crops. Oil experts estimate that we will use all our oil reserves within the next 40 years! Others say we will find more.

Sun tubes Sun tubes reflect natural daylight down through a tube into a home or office. They are a great way to save energy during the day.
