Energy 101
Definitions:• Energy : the capacity to do work, changing
physical state or motion of an object (Btus, joules, calories,etc.)
• Work: the application of force through distance
• Power: the rate of energy delivery (watts)
![Page 8: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Energy & Environmental Injustice
Environmental Injustice (or environmental racism):– disproportionate impact on the poor and people
of color (POC) as a result of discriminatory rules, regulations, and/or policies governing the siting and management of least undesirable land uses (LuLus)
![Page 9: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
My Work on Energy & EJ
Campaigner for Greenpeace from 1994- 1999 with communities against proposals for least undesirable land uses (LuLus) in:
• San Francisco, California
• Homer, Louisiana
• Ogoniland, Nigeria
• Convent, Louisiana
• Lake Charles, Louisiana

Worldwide Production (cont’d)
• Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) account for about 95% of all production
• Renewables account for less than 3%
![Page 12: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We can’t talk about Production without Consumption…..
• On average, each person in the US & Canada use more than the equivalent of 60 barrels of oil (300 gigajoules) per year!
• In the US, energy use:– 36% Industrial consumption (i.e metal industries
and the petrochemical industry)– 37% Residential of Commercial Use– 26% Transportation (Personal Vehicles and Freight)

COAL
• Fossilized plant material
• carbon-rich
• Coal reserves located primarily in Europe (24%), Asia (24%), North & Central America (23%) and Former USSR (15%)
• impacts/costs: air and water pollution, human health concern in mining and combustion and influence climate change
![Page 14: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
OIL
• Also derived from organic matter
• Major reserves in Saudi Arabia (25.3%), Iraq (9.5%), Kuwait (9.5%), Iran (9%), UAE (8.8%), and Venezuela (7%)
• impacts: air & water pollution
![Page 15: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Oil & EJ Case Study #1 : Ogoniland, Nigeria
![Page 16: Energy Production NRE/ENVIRON 201 November 21, 2002 Kishi Animashaun](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649d595503460f94a39353/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NATURAL GAS
• It’s cheaper, cleaner and produces half as much carbon dioxide as coal
• The former USSR (42%) and Asia (35%) are the leader in gas reserves

Gas & EJ Case Study #2: Bayview Hunters Point

NUKES
• Roughly about 100 plants in the US (latest at Watts Bar in Tennessee)
• most expensive form of energy - especially when decommissioning is taken into account
• generates energy through a process of nuclear fission (not fusion)

SO…WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
What are the implication of our (US) current consumption levels given the
availability of natural resources? How do we create sustainable energy policy? Where does the impetus come
from: individuals, government, or industry?
