Presentation Transcript

1. Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy Resources Presented by David Dean

2. Learning Objectives All: To describe at least 3 renewable and at least 3 nonrenewable energy resources Most: To explain how different renewable and nonrenewable energy resources work. Some: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different energy resources.

3. We all use electrical items every day.

4. Some use batteries the mains Some plug into

5. Mains electricity is used to power larger items that need more energy. It is usually produced by moving a magnet really fast near some wires in a machine called a generator. Because we use it constantly we need to keep this magnet moving as fast as possible all the time. This is what happens in a power plant.

6. Power plants come in many different types. Some methods of keeping the generator working are nonrenewable. This means that the energy source will run out one day. Some methods of keeping the generator working are renewable. This means that the energy source will run not run out, or at least will be available for a very long time.

8. No energy resource is perfect. Each one has advantages: It may be reliable, renewable, produce a lot of energy, we may already have lots of that type of power plant built. Each one has disadvantages. It may be nonrenewable, produce harmful gasses, cause global warming, be potentially dangerous or only be available in some places.
