2. US Inanimate Power History

3. I. Fossil Fuels A) Origin B) Today this includes….
-oil (petroleum)
-coal
-natural gas
C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels: (next slide)

4. C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels
1 – Supply is finite!
*Proven Reserves will last:
Petroleum – 40 years
Natural gas – 80 years
Coal – several hundred years
**Potential Reserves?
OIL - Worldwide

5. C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels (con’t)
2) Uneven Distribution
World’s
Largest oil
Reserves:
Saudi Arabia(25%)
Iraq (10%)
Iran (11%)
Kuwait (10%)
UAE (6%)

6. C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels (con’t)
2) Uneven Distribution (con’t)
Coal:
US 25%
Russia 16%
China 12%
India 9%
Germany 7%
COAL

7. C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels (con’t)
3) Uneven
Consumption
What is this line
Known as?
Known as
“World Systems
Analysis” or
“Core/Periphery”.
Most Consumption today in MDC’s but…

8. …that is changing! (LDC’s are developing)

9. Important Facts about consumption
LDC’s – Increase Dramatically
% of world’s energy used:
2010 – 40%
2020 – 60%
MDC’s – Consume way more than they produce – must rely on imports!
Competition for resources is going to get greater in the future so…

10. …here’s a suggestion!
Joke of the Day????

11. C) 4 “worrisome” characteristics of fossil fuels (con’t)
4) Greenhouse Gas Emissions – oil and coal

12. II. Conflict Over Oil A) Europe and Japan, now the US need imports
B) 1970’s OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) During embargo:
$3 a Barrel to $35 a Barrel (Now $100+ a Barrel)
C) 1970’s LDC’s hurt worse (development, agriculture)

15. The Future???? D) Today – OPEC less united
E) Supply and Demand and Cost and Price

17. III. 6 Alternative Energy Sources
A) Hydroelectric Power (usually dams)

18. B) Solar Energy

19. Could make millions!!!!!!!!!

20. C) Wind Energy

21. D) Biomass Fuel

22. E) Geothermal

23. IV. Land Use Models A) Economic Land Use Model Look at land for
development NOW – not
worried about the
future!

24. IV. Land Use Models B) Sustainability Land Use model Examples:
Forestry
Crop Rotation
Development must
continue several
Generations.

25. IV. Land Use Models C) Environmental Land Use Model
Based on an “eco-systems” lifetime
Can use the land but leave it as much as possible in natural state
Example: National Park System
Yellowstone National Park

26. IV. Land Use Models D) Preservationist Land Use Model Land is sacred,
Should be left “untouched”
Time Factor:
Forever

27. The End!
