renewable energy sources do you think are available in North
Carolina? 2. Can you think of any renewable energy sources that are
near Charlotte? 3. What is the biggest advantage of renewable
energy over nonrenewable energy? 4. What is the difference between
traditional and alternative types of energy? Slide 10 NNC is one of
just a few states in the US that has a legislative renewable energy
mandate. The NC Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (REPS) requires
that NC utilities must have a percentage of their retail sales come
from renewable energy sources by specific dates up to 12.5% by
2021. BBLAH, BLAH, BLAH! By 2021, 12.5% of North Carolinas energy
must come from renewable energy sources! Slide 11 What types of
alternative energy would be most useful and most easily accessible
in North Carolina.? Aspects to consider: Weather, climate, Natural
Resources Slide 12 Write what is in RED and YELLOW!! Slide 13 Solar
Energy Wind Energy Nuclear Energy Hydroelectric Energy Slide 14
Uses photovoltaic (PV) panels to convert sunlight directly into
electricity. Slide 15 The North Carolina Solar House is a house on
the campus of N.C. State University in Raleigh, NC. This house is
run almost entirely off of solar energy. Virtual Tour of the NC
Solar House Virtual Tour Slide 16 Pros Once manufactured, produce
no pollution Once paid for, provide free energy Solar energy
production is very quiet, unlike energy created from fossil fuels
and other forms of energy Cons Initial cost of solar panels is
expensive Weather can affect effectiveness of solar panels Solar
panels only work during daylight hours. This means they can only
create energy during daylight hours, and must use stored energy
during dark hours Slide 17 Nuclear Energy In nuclear fission, the
nuclei of heavy atoms such as uranium-235 are bombarded with
neutrons. The uranium nuclei split into smaller nuclei and emit
neutrons and heat energy.splitsmaller nuclei Slide 18 History of
the reactor Cons from a nuclear plant Slide 19 Pros Create very
small amounts of pollution Very reliable (require little to no
outside fuel to operate) High levels of electric energy can be
created at one nuclear energy plant Cons Radioactive waste (must be
monitored for 10,000 years after it is used). Example: Chernobyl
Where was it? What happened? Threat of nuclear terrorism Slide 20
Uses a turbine that is powered by wind. *In the next 50 to 60
years, wind power could be used to create between 5 to 10 percent
of the countrys demand for electricity. Slide 21 Traditional Wind
Turbine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsZITSeQFR0 Slide 22 Slide
23 Slide 24 Are there any near Charlotte? Slide 25 Pros
Self-sustaining (does not require support from other resources or
inputs) Reliable Causes little to no harm to plant and animal life
on the ground Cons Not 100% reliable (wind speeds must be at least
16 mph) Avian mortality (bird killers!) High initial cost Slide 26
The strong water flow that results drives turbines and electric
generators. The water held in a reservoir behind a dam is a form of
stored energy that can be released through the dam to produce
electric power. Power generated by falling water which drives the
turbines. Slide 27 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEL7yc8R42k Slide
28 Cowans Ford Hydro Station is located in Huntersville, N.C.,
approximately 20 miles north of Charlotte on Lake Norman. It is the
largest conventional hydro station owned by Duke Energy. Cowans
Ford Dam created Lake Norman, the largest man- made body of fresh
water in North Carolina. The lake provides a dependable supply of
water to Lincoln County and the communities of Davidson,
Mooresville, Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Huntersville. Slide 29 Pros
Completely independent of fossil fuels Can be shut off immediately
(thermal plants can take hours, nuclear plants can take weeks)
Controls flooding Very few breakdowns Cons Disrupts natural
ecosystems Plant decay that is created as a result of dams can
cause release of greenhouse gases Expensive to build Slide 30

types of alternative energy sources that are available in North
Carolina 2. Give an example of one specific renewable energy
facility that is in North Carolina. 3. Describe the pros and cons
of one facility you read about. 4. What actions is North Carolina
taking to improve energy sustainability?
