About the Renewable Energy Organization
Aimed towards ending unsustainable methods of powering America.
Trying to help renewable energy gain momentum.
Spreading the word on cleaner techniques.
SummaryCaused by unsustainable energy usage
As well as a lack of clean energy research
Which leads to huge repercussions
Significance
Bad planning – There’s a limit on Fossil Fuels
Problems and effects have been known
Current techniques are unsustainable
Alternatives, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, have not been taken advantage of
Research is needed to increase efficiency
Origin
Ancient Microbes lived millions of years ago
Died, and pressurized into sedimentary rock
Drilled out and sold
Historical Example
Russia relying on fossil fuels
Lack of cheap alternative
Economy is now extremely dependent
Environmental Example
Climate change affecting wildlife
Warmer temperatures beneficial to diseases
2/3 of Harlequin Frogs now extinct
Alternatives Available
Wind
Utilizes strong winds, producing clean energy
Solar
Utilizes energy from the sun
Photovoltaic cells generate electricity
Current technology is expensive, but can be improved
Bloom Energy
Bloom Box is a chemical reaction generator
Adjustable and affordable
Efficient both environmentally and financially
National Renewable Energy Lab
Laboratory utilizing clean technology and methods
Produced positive results
Has spread the word
Stop Using Current Methods
Fossil Fuels are bad
They negatively affect the climate
They hurt the economy and the future
Establish Clean Systems
Technology still needs research and mass production
Government needs to fund the research and give rebates
Small steps help gain momentum
Steps to Reduce Energy Use
Turn off and unplug electronics when not in use.
Use smart, power efficient appliances (which the governments provides rebates for)
Build your home with large windows (facing North or South) for passive heating, as well as with skylights.
Results of Change
