Energy

Obtaining Energy

Solar

• uses solar panels.
• sun light
• runs underwater.
• uses reflectors
• clean energy.

Oil

• you need to dig a hole
• send a pipe down through it
• send down an explosion 
• then collect all the oil

Fracking

• you have to drill side ways to get oil
• they need to have sink holes

people in Germany burn cow poop for fuel.

Nuclear Energy
When the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

Offshore Drilling
The operation of oil wells on the continental shelf, sometimes in water hundreds of feet deep.

Oil Refineryindustrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas

Crude oilPetroleum (a.k.a. oil) actually isn’t measured in gallons or liters, rather in barrels (bbl). One bbl equals around 42 gallons or 159 liters.

Coal mining
Coal is the primary fuel source for generating electricity in the United States and Canada.

Natural gas
The oil and gas industry is rapidly expanding production across the nation, as new technology makes it easier to extract oil or gas from previously inaccessible sites.

Pipelines
Pipeline transport is the transportation of goods through a pipe. Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines and any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline.

Ships
An oil tanker, also known as a petroleum tanker, is a merchant ship designed for the bulk transport of oil.

Power grid
Tonight, President Obama will override Congress and effectively declare amnesty for at least several million illegal immigrants

Power Substation
an auxiliary power station where electrical current is converted, as from AC to DC, voltage is stepped up or down, etc

Oil
a viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as a fuel or lubricant

Natural Gas
flammable gas, consisting largely of methane and other hydrocarbons, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as fuel

Coal
combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel.

Uranium
the chemical element of atomic number 92, a gray, dense radioactive metal used as a fuel in nuclear reactors

Solar
relating to, or determined by the sun.

Wind
the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction

Geothermal
relating to, or produced by the internal heat of the earth.

Hydropower
hydroelectric power or it runs on water

Biomass
he total mass of organisms in a given area or volume

Greenhouse Gas
a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.

Carbon Dioxide
colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration.

Uranium Waste
It still contains 95% of its energy.

Habitat Destruction
is the process in which natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the species present.

Limit showers to 5 minutes
only do full loads of clothes
only use microwave when needed

Fossil Fuel (oil)

• easy to transport 
• economical 
• C02 (BAD)
• Spills (BAD)

Cooling tower
a usually cylindrical structure, sometimes of very great size, in which heat is extracted from water that has been used for cooling, as in a nuclear reactor.

Sink holesa hole formed in soluble rock by the action of water, serving to conduct surface water to an underground passage.

Groundwater Contamination
is also one of our most important sources of water for irrigation.

Disposal of Fracking Chemicals
The history of fracturing technology’s safe use in America extends all the way back to the Truman administration

Noise Pollution
harmful or annoying levels of noise, as from airplanes, industry, etc.

Bird Population
in the species factsheets, population and trend information are given where available.

Smell
the faculty or power of perceiving odors or scents by means of the organs in the nose

Free Space
a region that has no gravitational and electromagnetic fields

High Cost
an outlay or expenditure of money, time, labor, trouble, etc.:

Availability
suitable or ready for use; of use or service; at hand:
