Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy Resources
Renewable and
Nonrenewable Energy
Resources
Presented by David Dean
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.
We all use electrical items every day.
Some use batteries
Some plug into
the mains
●
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.
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.

●
Complete the Test Yourself questions
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.
