Advantages

  • Reliable source

  • Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  • Cheap

  • Low Pollution

Can countries live fully off green power?

What is Nuclear power?

What is Green Power?

  • “Every 40 minutes, enough solar energy reaches the Earth’s surface to power the entire planet for a year.”- Dr. David MacKay

  • It is possible to live off green power

  • Australia have lots of wind and heat

Should Australia build Nuclear Stations?

  • Renewable energy

  • Generated from natural resources

  • Sunlight
  • Tides
  • Rain
  • Geothermal heat

  • Motive or electric power

  • Generated by a nuclear reactor

  • Electricity is produced by boiling water into steam

  • Main material is Uranium

  • 31% of the worlds Uranium deposits

  • 3rd largest in the world

  • Has no nuclear facilities

  • Pricey to build

  • Better alternatives

FUTURE

Does green power help our environment?

What countries rely on nuclear energy?

Different types of Green Power?

  • Green power helps our environment by using resources that don’t harm the earth but are also extremely unlikely to run out, e.g.:

  • Wind
  • Water
  • Sun

  • Solar power

  • Hydroelectricity

  • Wind power

  • Biomass/fuels

  • 31 countries that operate a nuclear power plants

  • U.S = 100
  • FRANCE = 58
  • JAPAN = 48

  • Countries under construction:
  • CHINA
  • RUSSIA
  • INDIA
  • SOUTH KOREA

Is Nuclear Power Sustainable?

Will this be a reliable source for us in the future?

How can we work towards a more efficient and sustainable way of life?

Why are some countries opposed?

  • Green energy is a reliable source

  • Not harmful

  • Does not use non-renewable sources

  • Uses natural sources ( wind, light )
  • Sustainable- Not being harmful to the environment

  • Nuclear power is considered 'Sustainable'

  • 'Not everything renewable is sustainable, and in turn not everything which is sustainable is necessarily renewable.
  • Reduce your carbon footprint by:

  • DRIVING LESS

  • REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

  • USE MORE SOLAR PANELS

  • BY ENEGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES

  • TURN LIGHTS OFF MORE OFTEN

Countries opposed to nuclear station:

  • AUSTRALIA
  • DENMARK
  • NEW ZEALAND
  • ITALY
  • IRELAND

Concerns:

  • Global Warming
  • Radioactivity
  • Uranium mining is extremely dangerous
  • Expensive
  • Chernobyl

  • Other ways to produce electricity that are safer

How can Green Power help reduce the effects of global warming?

Effects

  • Radioactivity

  • Contamination

  • Terrorist Attacks

  • Uranium
