SOLAR
PROS CONS
No air pollutantsLittle maintenance
Not all areas get enough reliable sun
High start-up costs
INCENTIVES: tax break or rebate for installation
New technology should lower costs

HYDROGEN FUEL CELLSSPLIT H2O
(photovoltaic cells or wind); requires energy; needs to be cheaper
No Sox, no CO2, some Nox (N + O + heat)
Hydrogen powered cars

Small scale hydroelectricNo dams - no reduced salmon populations, no
reduced silt/nutrients down streamso no reservoir – no flooding of ecosystem
upstream, no excessive water evaporation, no water-borne disease vectors
Less river flow (less snow melt) in summer = less energy in summer

BIOMASSAny carbon-based, biologically derived fuel source
(wood, manure, charcoal, biogas – biodiesel, ethanol)½ of renewable in US; 3% of all US energyCommon plants – corn/sugarcane.Modern carbon vs fossil carbon+: could use wastes, reduce ff use, offset CO2 by
planting trees, no SOx-: requires land/water/ff to grow, competes with
growing food, take crops waste from soil, deforestation, ethanol = less energy content
Biogas (like methane) produced using a biogas digester (right pH, moisture) for bacteria
Or liquid (biodiesel, ethanol) for engines.Gasoline + ethanol = gasohol

ENERGY CONSERVATION and EFFICIENCY
Reduce emissions, buy time, save energy for laterEnergy consumption greatest in HDC, but quickly
growing in LDC as standard of living increasesEfficient appliances (Energy Star)Efficient vehiclesFlorescent lightbulbs use 25% energy of
incandescent bulbs2001 refrigerator 75% less energy than 1970s (save
$135 per yr)
