What is the most commonly used fossil fuel?
-
Know basic information about power generation and turbogenerators.
The force of the fluid on the blades spins/rotates the rotor shaft of a generator. The generator, in turn, converts the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the rotor to electrical energy.
Which type of fossil fuel is most tied with conflicts in the Middle East?

What are the different types of coal combustion byproducts?

What are the consequences of coal, natural gas, and oil?
-
Know how bitumen and kerogen oil differ from one another.
Kerogen comprises both pyrolyzable carbon as well as inert carbon that has no petroleum-generation potential. Bitumen is defined by the fraction of organics that is nonvolatile at pyrolysis conditions but soluble in organic solvents.
How do demand and supply side energy policies differ?
In supply-side economics, the goal is to provide consumers with more products and service options to purchase by encouraging businesses to spend money on production and research. In contrast, demand-side economics focuses on helping consumers maximize their income by reducing taxes to spend more on goods and services.
Know about hydraulic fracturing and oil recovery processes.
hydraulic fracturing is the process of injecting liquid and materials at high pressure to create small fractures within tight shale formations to stimulate the production and safely extract energy from an underground well after the drilling has ended and the rig and derrick are removed from the site.
Brownouts and blackouts commonly occur during what time of day and season?
-
How is coal extracted from the earth? Two processes.
