The document discusses various energy resources including fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas which are non-renewable. It also discusses renewable resources for generating electricity such as hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, solar, nuclear, and biomass. For each type of energy source, it provides some background on how it works and highlights potential advantages and disadvantages.

1. Energy resources

5. HOW IS COAL MADE ???

6. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

9. Nuclear Power is a non-renewable but alternative energy Energy released by fission (or fusion) reaction.

11. This is steam, not polluted air!

12. Video clip on nuclear power

14. - Although not much waste is produced, it is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to the radioactivity to die away. - Nuclear power is reliable, but a lot of money has to be spent on safety . If it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster. Disadvantages

20. Video clip on Hydroelectric power

21. - Once the dam is built, the energy is free. - No waste or pollution produced. - Much more reliable than wind, or solar power. - Water can be stored above the dam ready to cope with peaks in demand. - Electricity can be generated constantly. Advantages

23. Wind power Windmills are built together in a “wind farm.” The use of a windmill to drive an electric generator.

26. Video clip about Wind power

27. How good an area for wind power is GA?

30. Solar power Several ways to use the sun for power! The energy received by Earth from the sun in the form of radiation.

31. Solar cells to make electricity like your solar calculator does.

32. Info on picture Solar power plants that can produce large amounts of electricity instead of for one house.

33. Places where solar power plants would work!

34. We even use solar power in orbit! Why would that be a good way to power satellites? Video clip on solar power

36. Doesn't work at night. Very expensive to build solar power stations. Solar cells cost a lot to make. Can be unreliable unless you're in a very sunny climate. Disadvantages

37. Geothermal energy The energy produced by heat within the Earth.

38. Sometimes it is very close to the surface.

40. Video clip on geothermal energy

41. What do you think would be the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal energy?

44. Biomass is the second most common form of renewable energy.

45. What do you think would be the advantages and disadvantages of biomass energy? Short video review of energy
