Sustainable Energy: Fueling the Next Generation
Fossil Fuels or "Renewable"
Powering the Future
What will be the future energy source?
Are renewable energy sources like wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectric, and nuclear power the future of the world's energy crisis? Or will fossil fuels always be Earth's primary energy source?
We have not found a source of energy that even comes close to being 100% clean. Although there are some renewable energy sources that are better than others.
Wind turbines
~ 20 Years
Are wind turbines the savior of the modern world or will they be its downfall?
Turbines only LAST about 20 years
~ 7 Years
It takes about 7 years for Wind turbines to pay for themselves not including the fossil fuel emmisions of their production
43 Million
Market
The reason these turbine blades have to be scrapt so often is because their materials are easily damaged by constent stress from wind, bird impacts, and lightning strikes
There will be 43 million metric tons of turbine waste in landfills by 2050
SAM
170 feet long
SOM
These turbine blades are around 170 feet long which is equivilant to 5 school busses in length
Decomposition
500,000 Birds
Turbine blades are made of fiber glass which is a non biodegradeable material and can take thousands of years to fully decompose The reason they are not recycled is because its difficult and expensive to break apart these enormous blades
Over half a million birds are killed by wind turbines every year in america alone
Music Advocacy
Green Day was a popular band in the early 2000s that was known for their advocacy towards world issues Topics of.. War Climate Change & The push for rewnewable energy
Timeline / Milestones
Remaining time on earth Wind Turbine will sit in landfill
Year 1 Wind Turbine has just been put in service
year 7 Wind Turbine breaks even on paying for itself
year 20 Wind Turbine must be retired for damages

Will replacing gas-powered vehicles with Electric cars create a more sustainable future
Batteries
Combustion Engine
VS Electric
The batteries used in evs require lots of mining and are extremely hard to RECYCLE and reuse
Since the early 1900s, we've used the internal combustion engine in cars and the only main drawback was fossil fuel emissions... so are electric cars the answer?
Mines
Lithium and cobalt mines are DEVASTATING to the evironment, WORKER'S lungs, and child labor
Equipment
The machines and excavators that mine lithium are huge gas guzzlers
Market
Powerplants
the ELECTRICITY used to charge EVS comes from fossil fuel powerplants
Advocating With Music
I think the best way to inspire change from a music standpoint is to have a modern music star incorporate these issues into songs to draw more attention to the problems Just a verse or a line in a song is enough to open peoples eyes
