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.

The Problem with

Unsustainable Energy

SummaryCaused by unsustainable energy usage

As well as a lack of clean energy research

Which leads to huge repercussions

Environmental Effect

Global Warming

Stronger Diseases

Wildlife Affected

Raising Water Levels

Economic Effect

Oil Dependence

Loss of Jobs

Loss of Money

Lost Opportunities

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

The Geographical

Background of

Unsustainable Energy

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

The Current Situation of

Unsustainable Energy

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

The Solution To

Unsustainable Energy

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

Environmental Recovery

Healthier Future

More Jobs

Energy Independence

Money to be spent here

What You Can Do

Utilize steps presented

Support clean energy bills, as well as research funds

Purchase smart appliances

Build clean energy systems at home
