Non-renewable Resources an Example Problem Slide Show Created by Mr. Ginty Binghamton High School Gas Your Name(s) Date

Steps of the PPA Step 1 Define the Problem Step 2 Gather the Evidence Step 3 Identify the Causes Step 4 Examine Existing policy Step 5 Develop Solutions Step 6 Select the Best Solution

Examples The next two slides are examples of Causes and Solutions as taken from the PPA Your slides may use two different steps from the PPA that address the Aspect or Topic you have chosen Like: Step 1 Define the Problem or Step 4 Examine Existing policy

Identify the Causes Causes Use the resources list or your own to clearly state causes of the problem Worksheet 3 Examples for gas Explosive Transportation/shipping/piping costs Toxic if accidentally released (without burning) Water supply at risk of pollution

Select the Best Solutions Solutions Worksheet 6 List some solutions or alternatives Examples for gas Wind Energy: Generates electricity by using the wind. Geothermal: Generates electricity from steam produced by water heated within the earth. Hydrogen Energy: Use flowing water to generates electricity. Bio Energy: Use biomass (plant materials, landfill or animal waste) to produce heat or electricity. Ocean Energy: Wave Energy Tidal Energy Thermal energy conversion

Before Gas Drilling

After Gas Drilling Not Too Pretty

The Steps (2) You choose which two steps below are examples  Causes  Solutions

Causes Explosive Transportation/shipping/piping costs Toxic if accidentally released (without burning) Water supply at risk of pollution

Solutions Recommended alternatives to using gas as a resource: Wind Energy: Generates electricity by using the wind. Geothermal: Generates electricity from steam produced by water heated within the earth. Hydrogen Energy: Use flowing water to generates electricity. Bio Energy: Use biomass (plant materials, landfill or animal waste) to produce heat or electricity. Ocean Energy: Wave Energy Tidal Energy Thermal energy conversion

Conclusions Recommendations for the Future Here you and your partner(s) make your concluding statement For Example: The ongoing debate over hydraulic fracturing for natural gas boils down to: energy companies want to drill, while people concerned about drinking water supplies and the effects of drilling chemicals on human health do not.
