- 1CO2 levels need to stay below to keep temp from climbing too high550ppm
- 2how much gCO2/kWh do wind, nuclear, and solar produce compared to coal and natural gaswind: 12
Nuclear: 16
solar(photovoltaic): 48
natural gas: 469
Coal: 1001 - 3top 4 energy sources in USnatural gas, oil, coal, nuclear
- 4how much energy in US is lost or wasted66%
- 5how much energy obtained from petroleum for transportation is wasted?79% wasted
- 6US carbon emissions in 2014 what % came from coal and petroleum74%
- 7how much carbon emissions came from nuclear wind and solar in 2014~0
- 8what source of energy used in the world is likely to decrease in futurecoal
- 93 countries that have "low" carbon emissions from electricity production same with high emissionslow: Russia, Canada, Brazil
high: China, India - 10likelihood that hydroelectrric power will grow in USpretty much none no much availability of places to create dams to generate
- 11drawbacks to nuclear powerrisk of accidents, people don't like, waste disposal
- 12what energy sources are cheaper than coal? what is cheapesthydro, wind, natural gas, geothermal, nuclear
geothermal is cheapest - 13how do nuclear reactors generate electriciyhit uranium with neutrons causing them to split creating 2 new atoms and creating heat, which generates steam and that goes into turbine
- 14could a nuclear plant explode like nuclear bombno, uranium concentration isn't high enough
- 15where are spend nuclear fuel rods stored in US?stored on-site
was being prepared: Yucca Mountain - 16why does the US no recycle nuclear fuelcarter decided not to have it done, prevents waste from being able to create bombs
- 17Storm surgewind blows water on land(bigger waves)
- 18hurricane #s, hurricane rainfall rates, due to climate changeremain same or decrease slightly
hurricane rainfall rates: increase
hurricane intensity: increase - 19wind speed for category 5 hurricane vs category 11: 74-95
5: >= 157 - 20hurricane category caused most deathscategory 3(i.e. Fran, Katrina) weird that these were on this as katrina was category 4 but says that on slides
- 21RCP 4.5 sea level rise20in(in 2100)
- 22describe soil erosion on outer bank how fast?water will erode and push it towards land (2-5ft / year)
- 23beach renourishmentsand trucked in and added to beach, other methods are sea walls and groins
