Energy Sources and Uses
Energy - The capacity to do work. Work - Application of force through a
distance. Power - Rate at which work is done or rate of
flow of energy.Units of energy Joule - Amount of work done when a force of
1 Newton is exerted over 1 meter (or about 0.238cal).
Calorie - Amount of energy necessary to heat 1 gram of water 1oC.
Watt - 1 joule/sec3

Per Capita/yr Energy Use and GDP
Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The higher the standard of living, the greater the use of energy.United States: 5% of the world’s population, uses about 20% of the total energy

Per Capita Consumption• On average, each person in the U.S. and
Canada uses more than 300 GJ of energy annually.
• In poorest countries of the world, each person generally consumes less than one GJ annually.
• Richest 20 countries consume annually :– nearly 80% of natural gas,
– 65% of oil, and
– 50% of coal production.

What is a Resource?
Source of raw material
used by society

How can it be used sustainably?

Resource Management
Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is :
harvest rate = renewal rate

IF the
Harvest rate > Renewable rate
Then the renewable resource can become
Depleted in the short term16

Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels - organic chemicals that were created by living organisms millions of years ago, buried in sediments, and transformed into energy-rich compounds
Because fossil fuels take so long to form, they are essentially nonrenewable resources.

Coal Extraction and Use
Mining & drainage - dangerous to humans and the environment
Coal burning releases large amounts of air pollution (CO2, SO2, NOx , dust, heavy metals, etc), and is the largest single source of acid rain in many areas.
Economic damages - billions of dollars

Oil Extraction and Use The Middle East control two-thirds of all
known oil reserves. The U.S. has already used up about 40%
of its original recoverable petroleum resource. Drilling - soil and water pollution Combustion - substantial air pollution Controversies – ANWR, Coastal Drilling

Natural Gas Consumption
Natural gas produces only half as much CO2 as an energy-equivalent amount of coal.
Problems: difficult to ship
across oceans or to store in large quantities
Flaring off - wasted

Nuclear Power
“Atoms for Peace” in 1953 by Eisenhower (produce enough power ‘to cheap to monitor’)
Nuclear power now produces only about 7% of the U.S. energy supply.
Problems have made nuclear power much less attractive than was originally expected :
construction costs and
safety concerns and….
waste disposal.26

Nuclear EnergyTwo types of nuclear power & both involve
rearranging the structure of the atom. Fission - splitting of a radioactive isotope of a
heavy element into daughter products (smaller atoms) with the release of energy
Fusion - joining of isotopes of a light element into a heavier element with the release of energy.
All commercial energy generation is run by fission.
The Sun generates heat and light by fusion. Some nuclear weapons use fusion reactions
but controlled fusion is still in the developmental stage. 29

Chernobyl - 1986
Accidents???
30
Public alarm but was under control.
Reactors in US are different than the one in Chernobyl
and are MUCH safer!!
Bad accident!!! Also poor reactor design
Three Mile Island - 1979

Nuclear Wastes
One of the most difficult problems associated with nuclear power is the disposal of wastes produced during mining, fuel production, reactor operation, and decommissioning of reactors.
Ocean dumping – until 1970? Radioactive mine wastes, mill tailings Dry cask storage High-level waste repository - Yucca
Mountain, NV?? Monitored, retrievable storage?

nuclear reactors (7 w/ fuel in the Kara Sea)

Hanford buried radioactive waste which began leaking, esp into the ground water & Columbia River. Shut down in 1960s.
• Nuclear testing peaks in 1950-60s. Trees absorb cesium which accumulates in
wood.
Plant roots absorbed the radioactive material and transported it to the ground surface.
Wood ash from trees growing during this time period can be radioactive – 100X higher cesium than other environmental samples.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
Utilization Efficiencies Most potential energy in fuel is lost as
In response to 1970’s oil prices, average US automobile gas-mileage increased from 13 mpg in 1975 to 28.8 mpg in 1988.
Falling fuel prices of the 1980’s discouraged further conservation. 34

Energy Conversion Efficiencies
Energy Efficiency is a measure of energy produced compared to energy consumed. Household energy losses can be reduced by one-half to three-fourths by using better insulation, double-paned glass, protective covers, and general sealing procedures.(Indoor Pollution?)Orient homes to gain advantage of passive solar gain in the winter. 37

Increasing Home Insulation
Standard Insulation in U.S. homes = R-12 – R-19 Super-Insulated Homes = R-25 – R-60Super-insulated homes in Sweden use 90% less energy for heating and cooling than typical homes in the U.S.
