 Please get out your objectives #1-9 for a stamp.  Review those objectives for today’s quiz!  Please read the board! Solar quiz!? I got this!

 What are the drawbacks of using fossil fuels?

Fossil Fuels Solar and wind power

 US solar industry – record growth in 2012, 16,ooo,ooo panels installed in nation, record 76% growth  10,000 solar companies in the US!  Texas is in the top 10 states for solar installation and has the “most untapped potential” for solar (still just.1%of electricity)  Module costs have dropped 60% last two years

 Energy Companies  Ship Channel  Transition from fossil fuels to renewables as fossil fuels become more expensive and scarce  Begin moving more solar/wind materials  Refineries begin transition to something else or shut down

 Solar installation – typically 20 panels, takes one day and 5 people.  Total cost of photovoltaic installation: 30% is panels, 70% is wire, labor, invertors, rails, etc  Most jobs in solar are in installation – these jobs will always be American

 1999 – Germany created incentives for solar installation  China has increased production of solar arrays  2010: $6/watt 2014: $3/watt

 Fossil Fuels  Sustainable Energy  What tradeoffs must be considered as Houston makes the transition?

Fossil Fuels Solar and wind power

 So what will take the place of fossil fuels?

Should we be looking for a one-to-one substitution solution?

Creating a paradigm shift

 One major regional power plant, usually coal, natural gas or nuclear supplies area’s needs  Same plan throughout US

 Distributed Power = dispersed, small-scale power systems customized to geographic region combine to meet a region’s needs

 What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources?  What does sustainable mean?  Why are fossil fuels not sustainable?  How might the transition to sustainable energy affect Houston?  What’s the difference between centralized and decentralized electrical systems?
