ENERGY (Energy Sorces (By origin (Primary, Secondary), By use in each…

- - - - Oil pipehnes can suffer accidents caused by nature or human error,
      - Result in uncontrolled spills
    - - Hydroelectric power plants: Destruction of
        erosystems
      - Conventional thermal power plants: air polution, increase in the greenhouse effect, acid rain, etc.
      - Nuclear power plants: nuclear waste,risk of nuclear
        accidents
    - - Depletion of resources, which makes it necessary to find new ones
      - Example: disappearance of forests
- - - - Water is heated in a boiler by the heat generated from the combustion of a fossil fuel, usually natural gas or coal
      - Combined cycle power plant
    - - A potential energy provided by the
        height of the stored water in a dam
      - Gravity or pump
    - - Nuclear fission reactor that produces the
        pressunsed steam needed to move the turbine rotor.
  - - - These plants use the heat found at deep levels in the earth.
      - May be use directly and indirectly
    - - Biomass consists of all organic compounds that are produced through natural processes
      - Forestry and agricultural waste, specific crops,
        waste from agri-food industries
    - - Photo-thermal or Photovoltaic
      - These plants use the energy from the sun
    - - Uses the energy of seas
      - Tides, waves and thermal gradient
    - - Clean form of generating electricity
      - These power plants use the kinetic energy of the wind to move
        the blades of a rotor at the top of a tower
