The document discusses fossil fuels and renewable energy sources for generating electricity. It explains that fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas were formed from the remains of ancient plants and sea creatures, but are non-renewable. It also discusses various renewable energy sources like biomass, wind, tidal, solar, and geothermal energy. Both fossil fuels and renewable energy sources are described in terms of their strengths and weaknesses for electricity production. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of developing renewable technologies while also using fossil fuels and nuclear energy until cleaner alternatives can replace them fully.

3. Fossil Fuel

4. These fuels were dug out of the ground. They had taken millions of yea
rs to make and so are called FOSSIL FUELS and are NON-RENEWA
BLE.
COAL
Made from the remains of plants
which died millions of years ago

5. OIL and NATURAL GAS (Methane)
Made from the decayed remains of sea creatures
which died millions of years ago

6. Generating Electricity
For many years, we have generated electricity in much the same way:

7. All these fossil fuels are running out
and burning them increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
which increases the GREENHOUSE EFFECT, causing GLO
BAL WARMING.
Some fossil fuels contain SULPHUR and when they burn t
his becomes SULPHUR DIOXIDE, a poisonous gas whic
h reacts with water in the atmosphere to form SULPHURI
C ACID or ACID RAIN.

8. To solve the problems of fossil fuels, we need to devel
op:
RENEWABLE FUELS:
•Biomass
•Wind Energy
•Tidal Energy
•Solar Energy
•Geothermal

10. Wind Energy

11. Hydroelectric schemes

12. Special versions of this can be used to produce energy
quickly on demand.

13. Tidal Power.

14. Wave Power 1.

15. Wave Power 2

16. Solar energy

17. Solar energy

18. Geothermal
In certain parts of the world, heat from the Earth can be used t
o produce steam to power turbines and heat homes.

19. Fossil Fuel Strengths
The current power generation and distribution model operates on fossil f
uels, and has for centuries if you consider coal. Fossil fuel essentially is p
ortable energy. A company easily stores and transports the energy until it
needs to be used
Fossil Fuel Weaknesses
One primary weakness of fossil fuels relate to their chemical makeup.
As operations burn the fuel, they release hydrocarbons that mix with th
e atmosphere and produce greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or poll
ution, including sulphur dioxide--a source of acid rain

20. Renewable Energy Strengths
The primary advantage to renewable energy is in its production
source: sun and gravitational pull yield solar, wind and wave en
ergy;
Renewable Energy Weaknesses
Renewable energy sources harness or replicate nature’s processe
s in its production, so it shares some of the weaknesses. Wind m
ills and solar panels take large tracts of space to collect energy, a
s the energy is diluted across the environment

21. To make sure we have plenty of energy in the future, it's up to all of us
to use energy wisely.
We must all conserve energy and use it efficiently. It's also up to those
who will create the new energy technologies of the future.
All energy sources have an impact on the environment. Concerns abou
t the greenhouse effect and global warming, air pollution, and energy s
ecurity have led to increasing interest and more development in renew
able energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, wave power and
hydrogen.
But we'll need to continue to use fossil fuels and nuclear energy until n
ew, cleaner technologies can replace them. One of you who is reading
this might be another Albert Einstein or Marie Curie and find a new so
urce of energy. Until then, it's up to all of us.
The future is ours, but we need energy to get there.
