source

• Water
• Relies on water cycle

Harness and Transfer Energy

• Held behind a dam, forcing and artificial lake, or resevoir
• The force of water being released from reservoir through the dam
• spins the blades of a giant turbine

USABLE IN OUR AREA? HARMFUL WASTES?

• We have the atuttle Creek Dam already and we
• can use Hydropower to transfer energy
• Non- Polluting but has enviromental impacts
• Most hydroelectric plants have a dam or reservoir
• Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, can be emitted into atmosohere

Habitats effected? health concerns?

• Habitats can be effected by Methane in the air
• Can cause concerns to health and safety of people,
• animals, and the land because of Methane

cost to fossil fuels

• Very effecient and inexpensive
• Leading source of renewable energy
• Provides more than 97% of all electricity generated
• by renewable sources worldwide
• Prevents burning of billions of gallons of oil and million tons if coal

cost to use

• Will vary from power plant to power plant with one of
• the main variables being the size of the plant
• The larger the plant, the cheaper the cost per Kw to produce

SAVING? EMPLOYMENT OPPURTUNITIES?

• Can be expensive at 1st, but cheaper than getting a
• National Grid if you don't already have one
• Employs up to 300,000 workers, can expand American workforce
• From project development to Manu to facilities operations
• and maintenance.

INVENTOR, invented

• In 1849, engineer James Francis developed the Francis Turbine
• Type of turbine most widely used today
• Worlds first hydropower plant begins operations in Appleton, Wisconsin
• On Fox River

where used and will commmunity accept?

• Canada, Brazil, China, U.S.A, Russia, Norway, India, Japan
• Venezuela, Sweden, France, Paraguay, and Turkey
• Depends on the person, some would oppose it because it destroys
• habitats for animals.
• Others would like for cost and other reasons

ENERGY PRODUCED? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED LIVES?

• 7.1% currently produced
• Has made lives better, costs less over a long period of time
• If you live off grid, installing hydrosystem can be expensive but less then
• the cost of getting a National Grid if you don't have one
