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
