Good Energy?Bad Energy? Keynote Kickoff 2012 Harry Henderson Janet Penevolpe M http://www.ewea.org/fileadmin/ewea_documents/documents/publications/factsheets/Factsheets.pdf
Energy[computer model ideas will be in yellow] • Uses • Power cars, trains, planes • Power homes • Power factories • Heat • Games • Most everything we do: try making of list of things that do not use energy
Energy Cost in NM and US[graphically represent model output data] A http://energy.gov/maps/2009-energy-expenditure-person
Energy Use in NM and US.[graph are presented first but made last] A http://energy.gov/maps/2009-energy-consumption-person
Right now globally we are using 20E12 watts of power, this projector is using 600 watts[bar graphs are another way to represent data] http://www.eia.gov/pressroom/presentations/howard_09192011.pdf B
Types of Energy Combustion types: • Wood • Coal • Oil • Natural Gas • Hydrogen • Biomass • Non-Combustion types: • Nuclear • Hydroelectric • GeoThermal • Wind • Photovoltaic Solar • Passive Solar B
Wood Coal [Model a Steam generator plant] • Earliest used • Dirty • Inefficient • On Demand • Need Large Quantities • Renewable* • Burns hotter • Can supply energy for larger audience • Need to dig up the earth/mine accidents • Creates more pollutants • Still need Large Quantities • Fossil Fuel – Limited Supply C
Oil[explore ways to clean up ocean spills] • Replaced Coal in some areas • Can create lots of different types of fuels • transportation • Can supply energy for larger audience • Need to dig up the earth/ocean - accidents • Creates pollutants • Still need Large Quantities • Fossil Fuel – Limited Supply C
Natural Gas [build a fracking model to explore ground water contamination or earthquake generation] • Easier to Transport • Can supply energy for larger audience • Need to dig up the earth • Creates pollutants • Still need Large Quantities • Fossil Fuel – Limited Supply but new, but dangerous* technology making it more available D
Hydrogen[Model a membrane diffusion] • Need energy to make it • Burns clean – makes water • Dangerous to store • Fuel cells – “fool cells”, it takes more energy to make than to use • With today’s technology it results in more pollution than oil • Possible biochemical solution in the future H
Biomass[stable “ecosystem” of livestock waste used to heat a greenhouse making food for the livestock] • Recycles waste products [Odor] • Creates pollution [Releases carbon] • Creates natural gas • Renewable* • Top 7 NM counties produce 1146762 tons in dairy biomass alone H
Biomass in NM could replace natural gas KC http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/ECMD/RenewableEnergy/biomass.html
Nuclear[Model the regulating rods] • Small amount fuel for large amount of energy • Radioactive waste • Public opinion • Water and Heat for pollution • Safe accident History (3 since production began) LA
Hydroelectric[build a bypass route for aquatic life] • Free fuel- flowing river • Destroys land behind dam • Can regulate • Most water systems are damed: • very little new power from river hydro • But tidal hydro is a new and wide open option KC
GeoThermal[simulation of straight pipe vs overlapping] • Piloted at Los Alamos in 1970 http://geoheat.oit.edu/bulletin/bull23-4/art4.pdf • 30 years ago Sandia Labs developed polycrystalline diamond compact bits for geothermal drilling http://article.wn.com/view/2012/03/22/New_Drill_Bits_to_Make_Geothermal_Cheaper/ • Low energy for heating/cooling • High energy for electricity generation M

Globally wind power is the fastest growing power source [second fastest in US]wind energy map http://cjsimmons.net/2011/renewable-energy-im-a-big-fan/ P
Ericksonn W., Johnson, G. and Young, D. (2005) What about the birds? Since 2005 New wind farms are built away from flight paths J
[flocking vs. height and rotor speed] Since the 2005 study more windmills have been built, however, the taller larger rotors turn much slower which is safer for birds T http://www.ewea.org/fileadmin/ewea_documents/documents/publications/factsheets/Factsheets.pdf
Photovoltaic Solar • Only works when sun is out • Toxic • Easy to install • Meter goes backwards WM
Affordable Solar an Albuquerque based company sells panels for $1 per watt or less • Dimensions 1638 x 982 mm = 1.6 m^2 • 245 w / 1.6 m^2 = 153 watts / m^2 / $1 • 2008 power use is 1.7E13 watts • 1.7E13/153 = 1.11E11 m^2 area required • Assuming 50% cloud cover. 1.11E11 / .6 = • 2.22E5 km^2 area covered with solar panels to power 2008 needs or 3.1E5 km^2 by 2015 • New Mexico is 3.14E5 km^2 in area P
Passive Solar • Hot water heaters • House design P
