Research Findings

• Issues with fossil fuels

• Problems with renewable energies

• Pros and cons of solar energy

Page 8: Save Money, Save the Environment

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!

Page 9: Save Money, Save the Environment

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

Page 10: Save Money, Save the Environment

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
