Energy • Consumption • Waste
00:00:59 overview
• Generation• most power is steam driven• prime mover
• T&D• transmission is long distance• distribution is local
• Wholesale Markets• 10 wholesale markets in N.A.
• Watt’s that?• Watt is unit of power• kW is 1,000 watts• MW is 1,000 kW• kW ≠ kWh

Energy • Consumption • Waste
• Renewables & efficiency initiatives• rebates, grants, loans, bonds & incentives• federal• 50 states + USVI & PR• municipalities• individual utilities
• R & D• efficiencies• emissions reduction• new sources & storage
• Education & understanding
• You & me

consumption
• US per capita = 13,582 kWh/yr
• Remind me about “Offsets” & “RECs”
• Get your game on!
• Remember when I said youwere polluters?• fyi… you are,
even in your sleep

Energy • Consumption • Waste
consumption = emissions
• Greenhouse Gasses (GHG)• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) • Methane (CH4) • Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
• Pollutants• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) • Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) • Mercury (Hg)
• Lifecycle Assessment• fyi…everything is dirty

nuclear in the news
• We import 92% of enriched uranium necessary to run our nuclear plants• compare… 70% of our oil is imported
• ~ 60% of the world's production of uranium is mined• Kazakhstan (28%)• Canada (22%)• Australia (13%)• compare… USA (2%)
• ~ 40% of what we use comes from dismantled Soviet-era warheads
• 10 companies market 89% of the world's uranium mine production• fyi… none are American owned

on the horizon
• Storage: battery & potential
• Alternative generation• buoys in Hawaii• “oyster” in Scotland• osmosis in Norway
• Nuclear waste reclamation
• Smart grid
