  1. Alternative Energy

  2. What does Fossil Fuels do to the Environment? • Fossil Fuels produce large amounts of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which create global warning and climate change. It also releases Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxides and Sulfur Dioxides.

  3. Why are these things bad? • 1. Carbon Dioxide- The Leading cause of global warming is destroying our ecosystems weather patterns and killing 20 000 people every year and accounts for 120 billion dollars in health care in the USA alone. RESULT- PLANETARY OBLITERATION • 2. Sulfur Oxides- This chemical is released into the air causing acid rain and a pungent odour. • Result- SEVERE EROSION OF EVERYTHING • 3. Carbon Monoxide- This harmful gas makes the body think it is breathing air but it is less dense. Result- DEATH

  4. What will happen to the population • The World will be obliterated… so unless we can get to another planet it will be 0.

  5. The Scale Of Distress

  6. Ontario Ministry Of Energy • The MEO is Trying to reduce Carbon emissions and making fossil fuel free province.

  7. Ontario Clean Energy • The MEO is doing a ton to help by SHUTTING DOWN ALL THE COAL POWER PLANTS in Ontario by the end of this year. That is like taking 7 MILLION CARS OF THE ROAD!!!

  8. Fossil Fuels • Fossil Fuels works by burning Coal/Oil/Natural Gas to boil water, to create steam, to spin a generator, to create electricity.

  9. What can we do to stop it? • The main thing that we can do to stop it is use alternative energy sources. • Alternative Energy • 1. Solar • 2. Wind • 3. Hydroelectric • 4. Nuclear

  10. Wind • Wind energy is a renewable energy that works by using wind to turn a propeller attached to a generator.

  11. Wind: Pros- Cons

  12. Solar • Solar energy works by converting solar heat into electricity using something that doesn’t make sense and I am labeling “Dark Magic.”

  13. Solar: Pros- Cons

  14. Hydro • Hydro works by using water to turn a generator.

  15. Hydro: Pros- Cons

  16. Nuclear • Nuclear works by shooting neutrons at Uranium witch produce heat that boils water creating steam, turning the generator… Basically.

  17. Nuclear- Pros- Cons

  18. What is the Best Alternative? • For urban areas Nuclear is the best option. For areas like the “ Ring of Fire” Tidal and Hydro would work. In remote areas where hydro is not an option wind and solar can come into play.

  19. Will All this be enough? • If we stop fossil Fuels ASAP we should be able to turn the global warming trend around.

  20. Canada’s Efforts • Canada has helped by running almost all of it’s energy off of alternative recourses. It has one of the largest down trend in emissions the world over.

  21. Results • The results are great we are setting an example by shutting down all our Coal plants in Ontario having a lot of hydro and Nuclear.

  22. The End
