  3. Energy • Consumption • Waste • Generation • most power is steam driven • prime mover • T&D • transmission is long distance • distribution is local • Wholesale Markets • 10 wholesale markets in N.A. • Watt’s that? • Watt is unit of power • kW is 1,000 watts • MW is 1,000 kW • kW ≠ kWh • 00:00:59 overview Georgia Southern University 6.2012 3

  10. Energy • Consumption • Waste • Renewables & efficiency initiatives • rebates, grants, loans, bonds & incentives • federal • 50 states + USVI & PR • municipalities • individual utilities • R & D • efficiencies • emissions reduction • new sources & storage • Education & understanding • You & me Georgia Southern University 6.2012 10

  11. Energy • Consumption • Waste • US per capita = 13,582 kWh/yr • Remind me about “Offsets” & “RECs” • Get your game on! • Remember when I said youwere polluters? • fyi… you are, even in your sleep • consumption Georgia Southern University 6.2012 11

  14. Energy • Consumption • Waste • Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) • Methane (CH4) • Nitrous Oxide (N2O) • Pollutants • Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) • Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) • Mercury (Hg) • Lifecycle Assessment • fyi…everything is dirty • consumption = emissions Georgia Southern University 6.2012 14

  19. Energy • Consumption • Waste • We import 92% of enriched uranium necessary to run our nuclear plants • compare… 70% of our oil is imported • ~ 60% of the world's production of uranium is mined • Kazakhstan (28%) • Canada (22%) • Australia (13%) • compare… USA (2%) • ~ 40% of what we use comes from dismantled Soviet-era warheads • 10 companies market 89% of the world's uranium mine production • fyi… none are American owned • nuclear in the news Georgia Southern University 6.2012 19

  20. Energy • Consumption • Waste • Storage: battery & potential • Alternative generation • buoys in Hawaii • “oyster” in Scotland • osmosis in Norway • Nuclear waste reclamation • Smart grid • on the horizon Georgia Southern University 6.2012 20
