Wind energy is a renewable way for the earth to generate energy for us. Wind turbines in the ground will spin and will generate energy.
                             Disadvantage
     This is not the best way to get energy, because it is not very
effective, and it cost to much.
                               Advatage
     It does not pollute the earth, and it is never going to run out. We
will have it for ever.

Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy

There are two types of nuclear energy which are fusion and fission. Fusion of formed by the creating of the nucleus of atoms to create energy.Fission is  formed by the nucleus of radio  active atoms are split into two or more fragments. Fission is used to generate electrical power. Fusion is a process that powers the sun and stars.

Some advantages of nuclear energy are: Nuclear energy saves the US $12 billion dollars a year. It also releases little to no green house gases.

Some disadvantages of nuclear energy are they can release radio active material.

BIOMASS

                                                      BIOMASS


First thing bout biomass is it is organic matter from plants and from animal waste that contains chemical energy.Good things about it is used for every day things and its renewable  and it can be burn release energy this can be use on a every day bases.BUT some are slower than others and it produces pollutants...so  think twice before you use around natural thing and places.

Wind Energy

Wind energy has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that wind energy is non-renewable, it uses the movement of wind to create energy. A disadvantage is that it can only make energy on windy days.

The picture above is an example of wind energy

Another advantage is is that this wind energy does pollute the Earth. Lastly, a disadvantage is that it takes a lot of wind to get electrical energy.

Geothermal

       Advantages                                Disadvantages
uses renewable resources                 still pollutes   

Produces a lot of energy          very expensive

                                              Doesn't pollute as much          Disrupts wildlife

Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Solar is a way to gather electricity, without hurting the environment.
But, it does have some flaws. In order to have solar plants, you need lots of land.

Geothermal

                                                    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

                        HOW IT WORKS:

A geothermal power plant works by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground;the heat is used to drive an eletrical generator.Most geothermal plants are located in the Western United States,where hot water reservoirs are common.

                                              WHAT IT'S USED FOR
Geothermal energy is used for amazing things like geyser shoots!It is also used to create electricity and whoever is reading this knows what crazy things electricity can do!Power phones,charge cars,and light up huge buildings!

ADVANTAGES
Pumps can store heat for later use
No enviromental impact


DISADVANTAGES
Supply could change
Cannot be transported

Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons.

Some disadvantages is it causes smog which makes it hard to breath for some people. Another disadvantage is it is non renewable which means we can run out of it and that is not good.

Some advantages is you can cook with it,heat your home, and fuel your outside grill.  Another advantage is natural gas is not expensive 

coal

Coal forms from plant remains. Dead plants turn into peat overtime. Then, some of the peat becomes buried. Finally, the peat that is buried, and the buried peat turns into coal.

We use coal for....
electricity, gasoline, and trains, today.


Advantages: Coal creates electricity, coal also creates gasoline. We can also use coal for trains.

Disadvantages: Burning coal emits harmful waste into the air. Also, coal mining can scar the landscape.

Nuclear Energy

                                                                Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy can be split or combined which is called Nuclear Energy.The energy can be acquired by two kinds of energy called Fission and Fusion.To this day we use fission energy because the technology for fusion power is too advanced.The most common nuclear energy is Uranium.The fission of atoms are split into two or more fragments and splits the atom.During this process lots of energy and heat and radiation.With nuclear energy releasing lots of energy it creates lots of toxic and nuclear waste.Fission also doesn't create air pollution because no fuel is burned.The amount of heat produced causes lots of heated water to be released into aquatic ecosystems so the water has to be cooled before being released.All in all nuclear energy is a nonrenewable energy source that has some advantages and disadvantages.


Facts and info=BLUE
Advantages=GREEN
Disadvantages=RED

Petroleum (Oil)

PETROLEUM (OIL)

Petroleum (Oil) is a non-renewable resource.
DISADVANTAGES
-It is drilled from ground which is a disadvantage because it causes earthquakes.
-Oil pullets the air as well.
ADVANTAGES
-It gives us diesel fuel and or gasoline
- Makes ink,bubble gum and plastic
First the oil is drilled from the deep ground. Then it is refined,after it is refined it is made into bubble gum,gasoline,etc.
Oil can be made into the following:
-bubble gum
-gasoline
-ink
-diesel fuel
-plastic
-and the most obvious: energy

The energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split or combined is nuclear energy. This energy can be obtained by two kinds of nuclear reactions,
fusion and fission.

Solar

                               Solar Energy

Solar energy is used to heat buildings and houses.1 advantage of solar energy is it´s renewable energy .

Another advantage is it is used to heat up buildings . 1 disadvantage is the area that the solar panels are  put in have to be sunny.  Another disadvantage is the sun will eventually blow up and there will be no more Solar Energy.In conclusion there are some advantages and some disadvantages of Solar Energy.

Natural gas

CAMPBELL MARTIN

What it does: it is from the marines organisms and a mixture of gaseous and hydrocarbons.
What it is used for   source of energy for heating and cooking.
The gases are directed to a waste heat boiler where the remaining heat and pressure used to to produce.


Advantages:  it has chemically complex, cleanest fossil fuel

Disadvantages: its much lower than coal and oil also emits 50 to 60 less carbine dioxide

Solar Energy

  solar energy is a clean source of energy. we get it by using solar panels to absorb light and convert it into energy 

pros                        cons

clean energy          it cost a lot of money

easy                       money

HydroElectricity

 Hydroelectricity is a renewable resource created by moving water. Hydroelectricity is a advantage to us because it creates a dam that creates power for us. It also helps in that we can use it over and over. Some Things that won't help is that it is very expensive. the point of Hydroelectricity is that it makes electricity and dams. It works where a turbine spins that hooked to a generator which creates power.
The dams also block the movement of fish between the sea and their spawning ground

Coal

COAL

•  One advantage of coal is that it provides half of the nations energy.
• Another advantage of coal is that it was used to help power trains back then.
• A disadvantage of coal is that the coal plants produce and let out pollution.
• Another disadvantage is that coal plants now days are very expensive to purchase

nerate electrHow coal works:Coal is put into a pulverizer and then burns in a furnace, it goes up to a turbine and then in to a condenser 

Coal is used to generate electricity which we use for lighting and technology 

COAL

                               Coal

              **This is my second one**

Coal is a NONRENEWABLE energy resource. This means it can not be replenished, or replaced, in a lifetime. Coal is mainly used for heating homes and businesses. It is burned to make electricity for people that desire it. It is used for a variety of things including electricity, heat, and power. Some advantages are that it heats quickly and is more inexpensive than the other energy sources. Some disadvantages are that it causes pollution when burned and it is non- renewable. 

Wind Energy

Wind Energy

          Wind energy is a renewable energy source, but it has many ups and downs. Wind energy produces no pollution. The only pollution is when making the pieces for the wind turbine. Wind energy is also very expensive. The huge pieces for the turbine have to be hauled to the site on a long train. There is also no energy being made when the wind is not blowing.

            The turbines produce their energy from the wind. As the wind blows, the turbine begins to spin. The spinning turbine transfers energy to a generator. The generator then transfers the energy through a wire that is connected to a transformer that turns the energy to electricity that is ready to power homes and other buildings.

          Even though the wind is renewable, it may not be the best source of energy. 

Petrolium

                                              Oil

The oil/petroleum is used for gasoline and some types of oil make bubble gum,plastic.and ink.
1 advantage of oil is it provides gasoline for cars to move.Another advantage is it creates things we use in  our every day lives. 1 disadvantage is it pollutes the air like exhust from a car can pollute the air .Another disadvantage is it won´t last forever .

Nuclear

Nuclear energy is two things Fusion and Fission.Fusion is the combination of the nucleus of atoms to create energy.Fission is the nuclei of radioactive atoms are split into two or more fragments.It is used for the process that powers the sun and stars.

ADVANTAGES
1. this energy can be obtained by two kinds of nuclear reactions.2.it is renewable.
DISADVANTAGES
1. it causes pollution. It is nonrenewable.

Coal

                                                   Coal

                                                            Blake V.

                                              Coal takes millions of years of heat and pressure
Over time coal is made from the remains of plants and animals. It takes millions of years of heat and pressure to form. We go way underground mining coal. Some of the coal we use today could be from dinosaurs! It is used to heat homes and power generators.
Advantages

• Coal creates a lot of energy.
• It is one of our primary energy producers.

Disadvantages

• It causes pollution.
• It is a nonrenewable resource. 

Biomass

                    BIOMASS
Biomass is chemical energy that can come from animal waste or organic matter from plant. When using biomass, it may be burned in order to release energy. We use it commonly. for cooking food, providing warmth, or powering engines. Some advantages are that it is a renewable resource, and also it is organic. Biomass is also inexpensive compared to other resources. Some disadvantages are that the process of biomass can take a very long time. In which it is a renewable resource, it may not last forever. Another downside is that when biomass is burned, it produces pollutants (carbon dioxide).

WIND ENERGY

                       Wind Energy

                              How it Works

Wind is created by the uneven heating of air masses in the atmosphere. It can be harnessed in wind turbines. A group of wind turbines is referred to as a wind farm. The wind hits the turbines and makes them spin. This mechanical energy is then transferred into electricity. Wind can not be seen, but you can tell that the wind is blowing when you see the windmills spin.

                        What it is Used For

It is used to generate electricity for homes and businesses. When there is no wind, the generated electricity can be stored in rechargeable batteries. Wind energy is a renewable energy source, and can never run out.

                Advantages and Disadvantages

Like all great things, there are some big disadvantages that come along with it. First, the cost. It costs lots of money to build the turbines. Second, sometimes there is no wind. If we depend entirely on wind energy, one day, there could be hours, even days, when there was no electricity at all due to the fact that there was no wind. Some great things about this resource are that is renewable, meaning that it will never run out and can be replenished in a lifetime. Secondly, it is more Eco-friendly than some of the other resources. It does not harm the wind or living creatures in any way.

This is how the Wind Turbine works.

Wind turbines are grouped together in WIND FARMS.

     Biomass is organic matter from plants and from animal waste that contains chemical energy. Biomass can be burned to release energy. This energy can be used to cook food, provide warmth, or power an engine. Biomass sources include trees, crops, animal waste, and peat. 
     Biomass is inexpensive and can usually be replaced relatively quickly. 

Hydroelectric power

                                  Hydroelectric Power

                                                       Blake V.

                                                        Uses water to create energy

From a lake or some body of water, through the intake gate, water flows in. The water gains kinetic energy as it flows through the penstock. The rushing water spins a turbine, and then it flows into the river. The spinning turbine activates a generator, and the generator makes electric power. It is used to bring high amounts of power to cities.

• Advantages: It causes no pollution and it is easy to find a body of water.
• Disadvantages: Making uses fossil fuels and  you have to modify the land a lot.

Solar energy

Solar energy is produced by the sun.The suns rays are absorbed by solar panels,then the solar panels produce the energy.It is used for electricity in peoples houses.

ADVANTAGES
1.Their is an unlimited amount of it because their is a unlimited amount of sunlight unless it is night time.
2.It dose not cause pollution
DISADVANTAGES
1.Clouds can block the sunlight.
2.It dose not work at night.
