Page 3: Energy Consumption and Sources

  • World Energy Consumption:
    • There is a massive "energy gap" where HICs (High Income Countries) consume the majority of the world's energy for industry and transport.
    • Developing countries often rely on traditional biomass (wood, peat) but are increasing consumption as they industrialize.
  • UK Energy Mix Evolution:
    • Historically dependent on coal (Industrial Revolution), but now shifting toward renewables and nuclear.
    • Reasons for shift:
    1. Decline of Coal: Many UK coal mines closed because they became too deep and expensive to operate.
    2. Climate Targets: Legal commitment to reach "Net Zero" emissions by 2050.
    3. Price Protection: Reducing reliance on expensive, price-volatile fossil fuel imports.
  • Key Terms:
    • Renewable energies: Naturally replenished (e.g., wind, solar, biomass, tidal).
    • Non-renewable energies: Finite resources that will eventually run out (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear).
    • NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard): People supporting renewable energy in theory but objecting to local projects (like wind farms) due to noise or visual impact.

Page 4: Renewable vs Non-Renewable Energy

  • Renewable Energy Details:
    • Solar: High potential but intermittent (does not work at night) and requires significant space.
    • Wind: Very low C O_{2} footprint, but can be harmful to bird populations and unsightly to locals.
    • Hydroelectric: Highly efficient and provides constant power, but requires flooding large areas of land, destroying habitats.
  • Non-Renewable Energy Details:
    • Fossil Fuels: High energy density and easy to transport, but burning them releases C O_{2} and sulfur dioxide (acid rain).
    • Nuclear: Produces no greenhouse gases during generation, but creates long-lasting radioactive waste that is difficult to store safely.
  • Fracking Expanded:
    • Process: Hydraulic fracturing involves drilling down and injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand, and chemicals to crack shale rock and release trapped gas.
    • Pros: Increases energy security by using domestic resources; creates jobs in the engineering and construction sectors.
    • Cons: Linked to minor earthquakes (seismic activity); risk of carcinogenic chemicals contaminating groundwater supplies; high water consumption during the process.
