Obtaining Energy

Non Renewable

• we get these fossil fuels by fracking
• we know they are there by drillling samples
• we also get uranium from russia because we dont have much here

Coal

• Coal is a fossil fuel and comes from fraking
• we know it is there because we research places that have coal in the soal
• we dont have it here because the soil is different

Oil

• Oil also comes from fracking
• we dont have it here because it is not the right soil because we destroy the soil
• we know it is there because we use a machine to locate it and we then use a drill to get oil but this takes time

Natural Gas

• we get natural gas from deep in the ground and we use fracking to get it
• we find it by using a machine to drill samples and see if there is natural gas in it
• it is only in certain parts of the world because some soil is different

Nuclear

• Nuclear comes from splitting an atom
• we have to contain it in a factory
• if it explodes... bye bye world

renewable energy

• renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydropower, biomass.
• we get these from the sun, wind, water, living things.

Solar

• We get solar energy from the sun
• this is a renewable source because the sun will never go away
• we set up solar panels to get energy

Wind

• this is a renewable source because wind will always be there and it will never cause pollution
• prices have gone down and are expected to keep going down
• wind comes from the sun

Hydropower

• it is much safer than all the other fuels
• hydropower will always be here cause water will always be here

Biomass

• we will always have it cause it comes from plants and other things
• it is part of the carbon cycle
• cost less than fossil fuels so you pay less
• large quantities all over the world

Distributing Energy

• we distribute energy by pipelines, ships, power substations, and power grids
• these costs a lot of money to place and for some it costs alot of money to cross the ocean

Conserving Energy

• We conserve energy by turning off lights and water and stuff like that when we are not using them
• it doesnt cost as much when we conseerve energy
