Main goals section 1.1 

- What are natural resources 

- How are oli - coal and natural gas formed 

- What are the disadvantages 

- Are there any solutions

- Which of the renewable sources are most suitable 

Natural resources 

- Fossil fuels 

- Renewable resources 

- Energy sources

What makes fossil fuels?

Coal - Marshes (plants)

Oil - Shallow sea' (dead marine life) 

Natural gas - Above coal and oil  (reservoir rock) 

Unequally distributed 

Disadvantages 

Oil - Coal - Gas 

Carbon stored in the ground 

Burning + adding to environment 

Disadvantages 

Air pollution - respiratory infection

Alternative energy sources 

Renewable sources 

Wind - Solar - Hydroelectric power - Geothermal power - Nuclear power - Biomass 

Wind energy  

Production of wind turbines 

= Unsustainable 

Producing: 

= Coastal regions good 

NIMBY....

Solar power  

Production of the panels: 

= Unsustainable 

Producing:

= Summer very high 

Sustainable?

= Yes 

Hydroelectric power 

Production of plant 

= Damage to eco-system 

Producing

= Very sustainable in moist 

regions 

Issue

= Replacement of population 

Geothermal Power 

Production of plant 

= Unsustainable 

Producing 

= Sustainable but very 

expensive 

Nuclear Power 

Production of plant 

= Unsustainable 

Production 

= Energy is sustainable (clean)

= Nuclear waste 

= Dangers for natural hazards 

= Dangers for conflict and terror  

Biomass  

Production of plant 

= Sustainable former coal plants 

Producing 

= Polluting 

Good option?
