Today, Kelly taught us about
fossil fuels and their alternatives
- formed when organic matter decomposes when heat and pressure are applied over long periods of time, needs special conditions
- internal pressure high heat and time are the conditions
- renewable resource: a substance that can be replenished as fast as they are being drawn out
- fossil fuels are not renewable bc they can not replenish fast
- energy efficiency: the corresponding amount of energy produced by a given amount of fuel
- 11 tons of oil used per year
- 2088 there will be no more fossil fuels
- clean energy source: an energy that does not pollute the atmosphere when used
- think solar geothermal and wind
- energy yield is much lower than fossil fuels
