1. Energy Literacy Energy IQ Game  What questions were most difficult for your group?  What answers surprised you?  What energy topics do you want to learn more about?

2. Energy Literacy What does it mean to be a literate person? What comes to mind when I say “energy literate person”? If someone is an “ energy literate citizen” What knowledge does this person possess? What issues is this person familiar with? What energy choices does this person make?

3. Energy Literacy Do we have an energy literate society? What is the cost of energy illiteracy? What is the relationship between energy literacy and energy practices (our personal choices and actions?

4. Energy Literacy “ Americans are, in general, the least energy-conscious people on the planet. We are not only profoundly ignorant about what energy is, and the critical role it has played and continues to play in economics and politics, but most of us simply don’t care about energy. Paul Roberts, The End of Oil

Natural gas is cleaner burning b. Cogeneration

22. Cogeneration- using a fuel to generate electricity and to produce heat. Example- If steam is used for industrial purposes or to heat buildings it is diverted to turn a turbine first. This improves the efficiency to as high as 90%. Cogeneration
