the energy blueprint of the future for physical science 1
00:05 - 00:08
10 In recent years, we've divide.
00:11 - 00:15
The reason when power made my top three sources is
00:15 - 00:18
because the impact it can have on climate change, which
00:19 - 00:22
is becoming a more and more concerning issue by the
00:22 - 00:27
day. Using wind power as a primary energy source, we
00:28 - 00:33
can see that by well by 2050 wind energy could
00:33 - 00:38
give could avoid 12.3 gigatons of greenhouse gasses.
00:39 - 00:42
And when energy can also preserve water, resource is especially
00:43 - 00:47
in places where fresh water is really scarce and necessary
00:47 - 00:48
for survival.
00:49 - 00:52
So by 2050 also, there's a prediction that over 260
00:54 - 00:55
billion gallons of water could be saved.
00:56 - 01:01
It also has the potential to create 600,000 jobs and
01:01 - 01:06
can save 108 billion on health care cause costs by
01:06 - 01:07
reducing pollutants.
01:08 - 01:12
Now this is significant impact by just implementing wind power
01:13 - 01:15
as a primary energy source.
01:15 - 01:18
Let's look at wind power more closely and how it
01:18 - 01:19
effects industry.
01:25 - 01:29
Now. Many industries are hesitant about adopting wind power as
01:30 - 01:34
an energy source because they assume that wind power is
01:35 - 01:41
unreliable since areas are always windy But although it can
01:41 - 01:45
be intimidating to make the switch over for industries, it's
01:45 - 01:48
also shown by 2050 that wind power could be a
01:48 - 01:51
viable source of renewable energy in all 50 states.
01:52 - 01:57
Because technology is rapidly, rapidly progressing, meaning that wind power
01:57 - 02:01
is is able to be stored, UM is able to
02:01 - 02:04
be stored for future use is also for industries.
02:05 - 02:09
Another positive is it creates a domestic supply chain and
02:09 - 02:13
supports the manufacturing, installation and transportation industries.
02:15 - 02:22
Overall, although would power may not seem as effective as
02:22 - 02:27
other in current energy sources, it is almost assured that
02:27 - 02:30
with the technology we are developing at this pace, when
02:31 - 02:35
power by no question, will be a reliable source of
02:35 - 02:36
energy in the future for industries.
02:40 - 02:43
Next, let's look at wind power in the perspective of
02:43 - 02:49
the government, when power is a relatively new option for
02:49 - 02:53
a viable renewable energy source, and this is because all
02:53 - 02:57
the windmills have you know existed for for a while.
02:58 - 03:03
The amount of wind turbines being seen in rural areas
03:04 - 03:08
is relatively new, But in order to encourage industries and
03:08 - 03:12
individuals to invest in a cleaner and more sustainable energy
03:12 - 03:16
source, the government must provide an incentive for it.
03:17 - 03:20
For example, they can provide tax subsidies or tax breaks
03:21 - 03:25
toe to reward those who take the risk of investing
03:25 - 03:31
in a cleaner future On the right displays an infographic
03:32 - 03:37
off the number of federal wind related initiatives by agency
03:37 - 03:38
in fiscal year 2011.
03:42 - 03:46
Next, let's appreciate when power from the perspective of the
03:46 - 03:55
individual for the individual, when power may seem larger than
03:55 - 03:57
what anyone individual can participate in.
03:58 - 03:59
But that is not true.
04:00 - 04:02
If you have land in a windy area, you can
04:03 - 04:05
lease your lane, toe a wind energy company and earn
04:06 - 04:06
revenue while you do.
04:07 - 04:08
It's a win win situation.
04:09 - 04:12
You can also join a community wind project form or
04:13 - 04:15
economic opportunity on the right.
04:15 - 04:19
We see community wind projects where AH community binds together
04:20 - 04:24
to invest in wind turbines to support the community's energy
04:25 - 04:30
needs. This is a clean and sustainable way to build
04:30 - 04:35
communities on now.
04:35 - 04:39
The next attractive energy option for the future is hydro
04:40 - 04:47
electricity. Hydro electricity is the concept of creating electricity from
04:47 - 04:52
water, meaning hydropower is a clean and renewable energy resource,
04:53 - 04:56
and it is shown toe have reduced greenhouse gasses by
04:56 - 04:58
5.6 gigatons.
04:59 - 05:03
It has superior energy performance because it has fewer energy
05:03 - 05:06
losses resulting during the generation process.
05:07 - 05:11
Also, flowing water is available in the plenty, meaning hydropower
05:11 - 05:13
is consistently reliable.
05:13 - 05:16
It doesn't depend on the day or night or windy
05:16 - 05:17
or not windy days.
05:19 - 05:27
Now let's appreciate hydro electricity from the industry perspective respective
05:27 - 05:29
to industry by 2050.
05:30 - 05:35
Hydro electricity consume fort more than 195,000 jobs and support
05:35 - 05:36
a domestic supply chain.
05:37 - 05:38
Also hide Rolex.
05:39 - 05:44
Although hydro electricity requires industries to invest significantly in R
05:44 - 05:47
and D, the pro to this investment is trends and
05:47 - 05:50
predictions that ought only bills that run on fuel will
05:51 - 05:54
no longer beyond the roads in a couple decades, meaning
05:54 - 05:59
hydro electricity or other sustainable options or the Onley path
05:59 - 06:00
for the future.
06:00 - 06:07
This is a good investment for industries with industry in
06:07 - 06:10
mind. We can now I analyze hydro electricity under the
06:10 - 06:20
government. Unfortunately, governmental regulations are the primary barrier preventing MAWR
06:20 - 06:21
industries to adopt hydropower.
06:23 - 06:28
The state renewable portfolio standards favors hydropower of favorites solar
06:28 - 06:33
and wind, with tax subsidies more than hydropower, making it
06:34 - 06:37
not such a kn attractive option for industries and individuals
06:38 - 06:38
to adopt.
06:39 - 06:43
What the government needs to do to encourage hydropower and
06:43 - 06:48
hydro electricity is it needs Toe, lacks draconian legislation and
06:48 - 06:52
view hydropower as a legitimate energy enterprise for the future.
06:56 - 07:01
Next, we can view hydro electricity with the individual for
07:01 - 07:04
individuals, and strong domestic hydropower is possible.
07:05 - 07:06
If you live near water choice.
07:07 - 07:09
However, that isn't practical for everyone.
07:10 - 07:13
Another way to participate with hydro electricity is by purchasing
07:14 - 07:18
AH hydro powered vehicle, which is arguably the future for
07:18 - 07:25
vehicles with hydro electricity under under review.
07:26 - 07:28
Now we can look at nuclear power.
07:30 - 07:34
Nuclear energy protects air quality because it's a zero emission
07:34 - 07:38
clean energy source, and nuclear energy uses its land very
07:39 - 07:41
efficiently, meaning it has a small land foot print.
07:42 - 07:46
Also, nuclear energy produces minimal waste because it's waste can
07:46 - 07:48
be repurposed and recycled.
07:49 - 07:54
Let's look at nuclear power from the industry perspective for
07:54 - 07:54
the industry.
07:55 - 07:58
Like the other two energy sources, it supports new jobs
07:59 - 08:02
and creates a domestic supply chain in consistent and reliable
08:03 - 08:03
source of energy.
08:07 - 08:14
From the government perspective, open my bed from the government
08:14 - 08:15
perspective, the U.
08:15 - 08:19
S doesn't currently repurpose or recycle the waste of nuclear
08:19 - 08:23
power. Now this is a really lost costs because that's
08:23 - 08:25
one of the best things that nuclear power is good
08:26 - 08:27
at. So what the U.
08:27 - 08:31
S conducive to play more effectively with nuclear power is
08:31 - 08:34
creating initiatives for recycling and repurposing.
08:35 - 08:38
For example, one of the ways to recycle is by
08:38 - 08:40
creating coins and mint.
08:42 - 08:46
Now, from the individuals perspective, there's not much an individual
08:46 - 08:49
can do with nuclear power since is a very volatile
08:50 - 08:55
energy source, however, since many individuals live by nuclear power,
08:55 - 08:59
plant is very important for them to be informed of
08:59 - 09:00
the safety pretties procedures.
09:01 - 09:06
If something in the plant where to go wrong with
09:06 - 09:10
the three energy sources underway, let's analyze why these are
09:11 - 09:15
over any other energy source Now.
09:15 - 09:17
First, let's look at solar power.
09:18 - 09:21
One of the reasons solar power isn't viable is because
09:21 - 09:24
the initial cost for individuals or organizations is just way
09:25 - 09:28
too high to be justified, and panels don't work at
09:28 - 09:32
night now for coal, coal is non renewable and coal
09:33 - 09:36
contains the most co two per Pete Btu, making it
09:36 - 09:37
the largest contributor.
09:38 - 09:41
Global warming, which is what we definitely want to step
09:41 - 09:45
away from, and for biomass fuel, kind of the same
09:45 - 09:49
just the demand for biomass fuel outweighs sustainable supply, and
09:50 - 09:52
unclean burning leads to significant emissions.
09:54 - 10:00
No, for our summary, how much is dependent on efficiency
10:01 - 10:05
and why our current energy sources are extremely efficient.
10:06 - 10:09
That's why we use wth, Um, But as technology progresses
10:10 - 10:14
and climate change also unfortunately progresses, we need to not
10:14 - 10:17
look at it on Lee under the scope of efficiency.
10:17 - 10:20
We also need to take environment an account.
10:20 - 10:24
And that's why I picked wind power, hydroelectricity and nuclear
10:24 - 10:27
power, although they aren't the most efficient right now.
10:27 - 10:30
And although they don't have the most developed infrastructure as
10:31 - 10:33
technology progresses, that will be less and less of an
10:34 - 10:37
issue. And they showed the most viable future for our
10:37 - 10:41
planet. They have the most clean potential and, um, and
10:41 - 10:43
are all renewable energy sources.
10:47 - 10:49
Thank you so much for listening to my the energy
10:49 - 10:50
blueprint of the future.
