5 Acid Rain Acidity of lakes, dams, streams Cause death to aquatic life Increases acidity of soil Damage to trees at high elevations Erodes buildings and monuments Respiratory problems with people

6 Fossil Fuels, Greenhouse Gasses, & Global Warming Video 2:03 When CO2 Emissions = “Smoke”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPK- RsYjffUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPK- RsYjffU Acid rain 1:15 cartoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR-uQ6VXd4Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR-uQ6VXd4Y

7 Effects of Acid Rain

8 Biomass *A Fossil Fuel Power Plant can be converted to a biomass power plant with minimal changes.

9 Biomass Processing Examples include plant material or animal waste: Switch grass Corn Sugar cane Corn stalks Wood chips Processing these creates: Solid fuel Liquid fuel Gaseous fuel (ethanol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQHD849NGYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQHD849NGYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI7s6IRpOHA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=but5ntRMQQc

10 Biomass “Benefits” and the Carbon Cycle

11 Anaerobic Digester A Brooklyn waste treatment plant is switching sewage to food scraps

12 MSW - Municipal Solid Waste Gasification vs. incineration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRa31dS0vA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRa31dS0vA

13 Nuclear

14 Uranium 235 = Fuel How do you process Uranium? Start at 1:30 into video – 4:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apODDbgFFPI URANIUM OXIDE CONCENTRATE IS COMMONLY CALLED “YELLOWCAKE” BECAUSE OF ITS YELLOWISH COLOR. (PHOTO: WORLD NUCLEAR ASSOCIATION)

18 Chemical Hydrogen Fuel Cell animation: http://digitalsplashmedia.com/2008/02/hydrogen-fuel-cell-animation/http://digitalsplashmedia.com/2008/02/hydrogen-fuel-cell-animation/ http://zebu.uoregon.edu/disted/ph162/fani.gif This animation shows the process that goes on inside an individual fuel cell. The red Hs represent hydrogen molecules (H2) from a hydrogen storage tank. The orange H+ represents a hydrogen ion after it's electron is removed. The yellow e- represents an electron moving through a circuit to do work (like lighting a light bulb or powering a car). The green Os represent an oxygen molecule (O2) from the air, and the blue drops at the end are for pure water--the only byproduct of hydrogen power.

20 Tidal/Wave/OTEC

21 Wave Energy Convertor: The energy generated from waves is harnessed by deploying wave energy convertors on the surface of the ocean. When a wave hits these convertors, the convertors convert the force of the wave into energy and feed it into a generator.
