The module is comprised of three parts, each focusing on a current, major source of fuel energy and its related issues. These include oiland transportation; nuclear energy, nd coal. To demonstrate some of the many aspects of the subject, dilemmas or role-playing sitUations highlight the effects and problems poied by incre&sed consumption of these fuels. Dilemmas are tbrief stories posing a critical decision to be made by a main charActei. This decisionrevolves around conflicts between two or more moral/ethical issues (as identified by Kohlberg) presented in the situation, ind it is the moral/ethical implication that provides the thrust for later _student diiCussions. Preceding each dilemma are readings/case studies 'providing backgroun:brmation'regarding issues in the dilemmas. Questions are also 'ov ed to stimulate thinking about the issues and generate discussioni. The module may be used as a separate unit- of study, as a mini-course, or incorporateci into social studies, general science, earth science, health education, or language arts f courses.

  • A Technical Comparison of Coal Pipeline Options
    A TECHNICAL COMPARISON OF COAL PIPELINE OPTIONS By N.T. Cowper1, J. Sobota2 and A.D. Thomas1 1 Slurry Systems Pty Limited, Sydney, Australia. [email protected] 2 Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Wroclaw, Poland Hydrotransport 18 Conference, Rio de Janeiro September 2010 Long distance transportation of coal was commercially proven in the highly successful 440 km Black Mesa Coal Pipeline commissioned in 1970. The economic pumping of coal in water over long distances requires the coal to be reduced to a fine size consist. At the power station the de-watered coal is further reduced to pulverised fuel (pf) size. Another option is to reduce the coal to pf size before transport and pump as a coal-water mixture. For long distance transport of minus 50 mm export size coal, the only viable option is to use a unique Special Vehicle Slurry (SVS) system. The paper compares the technical issues involved in all coal pipeline options. 1. INTRODUCTION The transportation of coal over long distances was commercially proven in the highly successful 440 km Black Mesa Coal Pipeline commissioned Aug. 14, 1970. The Black Mesa pipeline fed the captive Mohave Power Station for over 35 years. Although the use of coal for energy may slowly decrease in the long term, coking coal will still require transportation. The economic pumping of coal in water over long distances requires the particle size of the coal to be reduced to a fine size consist with the Black Mesa pipeline having a top size of 1.4 mm and 18 to 20% minus 45 microns to ensure optimum slurry properties.

  • Solar Power Satellites
    Solar Power Satellites August 1981 NTIS order #PB82-108846 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 81-600129 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword The energy difficulties the Nation has faced over the past decade have given rise to an increased awareness of the potential long-term, inexhaustible, or renewable energy technologies. This assessment responds to a request by the House Committee on Science and Technology for an evaluation of the energy potential of one of the most ambitious and long-term of these technologies, the solar power satellite (SPS). In assessing SPS, OTA has taken into account the preliminary nature of SPS technology by comparing four alternative SPS systems across a broad range of issues: their technical characteristics, long-term energy supply potential, interna- tional and military implications, environmental impacts, and institutional effects. The SPS options are also compared to potentially competitive future energy technologies in order to identify how choices among them might be made. In addi- tion, OTA developed a set of Federal research and funding options to address the central questions and uncertainties identified in the report. We were greatly aided by the advice of the SPS advisory panel, as well as by the participants in three specialized workshops: one on alternative SPS systems, one on public opinion, and another on competing energy supply technologies. The contri- butions of a number of contractors, who provided important analyses, and of numerous individuals who gave generously of their time and knowledge, are gratefully appreciated. Director .

  • Energia - Motorul Dezvoltării Economice Şi Sociale
    Energia - motorul dezvoltării economice şi sociale Noţiuni introductive În aceeaşi măsură în care un organism biologic are nevoie de hrană pentru a trăi şi a se dezvolta, o regiune are nevoie de energie pentru a se dezvolta din punct de vedere economic şi social. Pentru a ilustra diversitatea de modalităţi în care se poate asigura necesarul de energie al unei zone, a fost ales exemplul regiunii Las Vegas din statul Nevada, S.U.A., o regiune aridă, izolată şi înapoiată din punct de vedere economic, în care de-a lungul timpului s-au valorificat diverse resurse locale în vederea producerii de energie. În figurile alăturate sunt prezentate celebrul marcaj amplasat la intrarea în Las Vegas şi o imagine aeriană care sugerează nivelul ridicat al consumului de energie în Las Vegas. Las Vegas - imagine aeriană nocturnă https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Las_Vegas_at_night_(9118927988).jpg Intrarea în Las Vegas https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Welcome_to_Fabulous_Las_Vega s.jpg/788px-Welcome_to_Fabulous_Las_Vegas.jpg Statul Nevada, face parte din grupul statelor montane, alături de Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah şi Arizona. În perioada în care se puneau bazele expansiunii regiunii Las Vegas, statele montane reprezentau o zonă nedezvoltată. Acest teritoriu care reprezintă o pondere semnificativă din suprafaţa SUA, producea în acea perioadă, sub 5 % din electricitatea consumată în SUA. Această zonă, din jurul Munţilor Stâncoşi, este evidenţiată pe harta prezentată în imaginea alăturată. Zona statelor montane din SUA https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/US_map- Observaţie: Statele evidenţiate prin culoare uniformă sunt Mountain_states.png întotdeauna incluse în zona montană, în timp ce statele evidenţiate prin haşurare (Arizona în stânga şi New Observaţie: Nevada (regiunea evidenţiată) este statul din Mexico în dreapta) sunt considerate cel mai adesea, dar SUA cu cel mai redus nivel de precipitaţii anuale, iar nu întotdeauna, ca făcând parte din această zonă.

Utah’s Coal Counties , Part III Research Report 1 Utah’s Coal Counties Part III: Coal Communities Governor Gary Herbert is looking to create 25,000 new jobs in Utah’s 25 non-Wasatch Front counties by 2020. There is certainly a broad and deep effort toward this end. The Utah Legislature has passed bills to bolster economic development, and there are numerous state agencies involved in the effort. Several public-private partnerships are working on rural job creation, as are non-profit and for-profit entities. The federal government is also involved. Utah’s more-rural counties themselves are leading this effort. One of the reasons for the need to think about job creation in rural areas is coal. The nature of electricity generation and coal- mining has changed over the past several Part I – Coal Energy, Production, and the Future decades, and continues to change.

  • New Nevada Modeling Shows Achieving State Climate Goals and 1.5°C Alignment Could Add $700 Million to State Economy by 2030
    www.energyinnovation.org 98 Battery Street; San Francisco, CA 94111 [email protected] NEW NEVADA MODELING SHOWS ACHIEVING STATE CLIMATE GOALS AND 1.5°C ALIGNMENT COULD ADD $700 MILLION TO STATE ECONOMY BY 2030 ZACK SUBIN, NATHAN IYERi, ROBBIE ORVIS, OLIVIA ASHMOOREii, AND JUN SHEPARD2 ● MARCH 2021 INTRODUCTION In 2019, Nevada passed Senate Bill 254 (SB254) to address threats posed to the state by climate change. It set ambitious, economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for the state: 28 percent by 2025, 45 percent by 2030 below 2005 levels, and net-zero by 2050. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) was instructed to develop an annual GHG emissions inventory for all major sectors of the state’s economy, including electricity generation and transportation, and state agencies began developing Nevada’s first climate strategy. Nevada’s State Climate Strategy was released under the Nevada Climate Initiative in late 2020 as a template for needed climate action,1 calling on the state to “accelerate climate action necessary to achieve Nevada’s climate goals and capture the health and economic benefits of the clean energy and technology revolution.” It provides policy ideas for decarbonizing Nevada’s economy, stopping short of offering specific policy proposals. As such, it is not modeled in this analysis, but many of the policies discussed below reflect thinking embedded in the State Climate Strategy. The Nevada Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), developed by Energy Innovation (EI) and RMI, provides additional

Nourished by C tributaries from Wyoming's Wind River Range and Utah's Uintas, it grows to mus- cular youth . In vigorous midcourse it cuts mighty canyons through desert plateaus in its rush toward the sea.
