Research Findings
• Issues with fossil fuels
• Problems with renewable energies
• Pros and cons of solar energy
Coal Plants
• Coal power plants generate roughly 54% of the electricity in the U.S.
• A coal power plant can produce up to 25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year!
Nuclear Plants
• Nuclear power plants produce roughly 60,000 pounds of nuclear waste each year
• A nuclear meltdown could kill thousands of people
• Uranium is running out
Solar Energy is the Most Efficient
• Fossil fuels such as oil and coal are running out
• In order to store wind power you need big batteries
• Hydro power plants require huge dams that flood ecosystems and cost a lot of money
