Wind Power

What are the positive and negative impacts of renewable energy resource you chose? The advantages of wind power include Cost-effective: Initial start-up costs are mitigated over a period of time. costing  1–2 cents per kilowatt-hour after the production tax credit. Because the electricity from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time (e.g. 20+ years) and its fuel is free, wind energy mitigates the price uncertainty that fuel costs add to traditional sources of energy. Enables industry growth: Wind energy projects account for over 10 billion in annual revenue. Job creation: over 100,000 workers currently in this field and it’s projected to be near 600,000 by 2050. Clean energy source: Wind energy doesn’t pollute the air like power plants that rely on the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which emit particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human health problems and economic damages. It also, in itself does not produce greenhouse gases. Domestic source of energy:  Wind is abundant and inexhaustible. Over the past 10 years, U.S. wind power capacity has grown 15% per year, and the wind is now the largest source of renewable power in the United States. Disadvantages of wind power: Cost:  Wind projects need to be able to compete with the lowest cost electricity projects which currently can be a large challenge even with a  dramatic improvement in cost. Location/Infrastructure: Most windmill sites are remote which means the generated power must be stored and transmitted greater distances which can be another challenge and a  costly one. Furthermore, the locations may be better suited for other options than simply electricity generation. Aesthetics and Wildlife:  Some believe that the windmills themselves do not look attractive and decrease overall land value. There have been reports of many bird strikes and some disruption to habitats. Can or cannot renewable energy replace fossil fuels? The short answer is not yet at least. Wind generation on its own cannot replace fossil fuels but it is suggested that over time several renewable platforms can do the job collectively. In 2007, fossil fuels accounted for nearly 72 percent of the United States’ electric power production, while hydroelectric power supplied only 5.8 percent and other renewables supplied a mere 2.5 percent.  Those are daunting numbers, especially when you factor in Energy  Information Administration estimations that fossil fuels and uranium will still provide 85 percent of the nation’s electricity in 2030. But just as it would be unreasonable to think renewable sources could take the reins now, it’s equally unreasonable to think they can’t eventually facilitate an end to fossil fuel dependency. There’s only so much oil and coal in the Earth, after all, and global warming concerns only punctuate the need for a new direction. How does renewable energy affect the current power industry infrastructure? At the end of 2011, worldwide nameplate capacity of wind-powered generators was 238 gigawatts (GW), growing by 41 GW over the preceding year. Data from the World Wind Energy Association, an industry organization, states that wind power now has the capacity to generate  430 TWh annually, which is about 2.5% of worldwide electricity usage.  There is always wind being generated from a location even if its not windy in one region it will be in another making it reliable in a sense.  To this point, its better suited to bring stability as a hybrid option to aid the power industry’s stability. What help, if any, should governments give to help the establishment of renewable energy production? In some cases there are government incentives to build renewable sources including wind energy options. If this was done federally across the board it would be a giant step. Will the Clean Power Plan Survive? Why or why not? I guess I would say as of today, there inst a chance of survival because our current president doesn’t put as much emphasis on renewable energy or the dangers of global warming.

Hydropower

What are the positive and negative impacts of renewable energy resource you chose? Hydropower plants typically use the mechanical energy of water from rivers, streams, or reservoirs to rotate generator blades and produce energy. This allows zero-emission power from a potentially unending  “fuel” source. Additionally, pumped storage plants can take water from lower to higher elevations when the excess flow is available and release it to generate electricity during times of higher electricity demand (M3  33).  However, this comes at a cost, causing local environmental problems since the 1960s, according to the Norwegian Environment  Agency, (2015).  The dams and plants required for hydropower can cause changes in the environment, specifically fish and wildlife, vegetation, and erosion (M3 61). A lack of indigenous support in the Philippines has not only lead to 30 people being killed defending their land and environment in 2018, (as well as 48 murders in 2017) but also disrupt the way of life of these same indigenous people who utilize the waterways for their basic living needs (Delina, 2020). Can or cannot renewable energy replace fossil fuels? I believe that it is possible to eventually replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (and have written a few different papers on it over my degree), although admittedly some large barriers still remain.   Norway currently boasts 97% carbon neutral power generation and are still pushing to achieve its remaining 3% (Carroll 2019).  This transition involves overcoming technological, regulatory, and political issues.  Norway’s Energy Act of 1990 deregulated its electricity sector and developed the Nord Pool, which is the world’s largest market for electricity (Hansen 2013).  Within the US, only almost 20% of the power generated is renewable energy (with 7% hydropower, 7% wind energy, 2%  biomass, 2% solar energy and less than 1% geothermal), but separating electrical generation from political gain, putting funding into renewables for advances in energy storage and transitioning fossil fuel jobs into comparable renewable jobs make this a possibility (IEA, 2019). How does renewable energy affect the current power industry infrastructure? Ideally, as new renewable energy gets adapted, the demand on the grid will decrease as efficiencies increase and some buildings will become self-sustaining. In the interim, however, the creation and maintenance of an updated distribution network to provides the safe and reliable delivery of power will require substantial infrastructure investment (M5  33). The costs of new construction and upgrades to the system  (including but not limited to smart meters distribution networks that detect and prevent overloads) will continue to increase along with consumer demand (M5 34). What help, if any, should governments give to help the establishment of renewable energy production? Beginning a focus on a renewable power transition is beneficial to the establishment in both economic and ecological ways.  The application of carbon avoidance costs has already shown large upgrades and additions to current fossil fuel flue gas lines or pulled more money in from these establishments.  Renewables would not only decrease the consumer cost per energy when compared to carbon avoidance costs but also plays a direct role in minimizing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.  Funding for renewable research and training for renewable job transitions would feed into electrical corporations’ financial balancing act of building new renewable power plants versus the expenses of fossil fuels and the subsequent carbon emission costs. Will the Clean Power Plan Survive? Why or why not? It is hard to believe that the Clean Power Plan will survive,  although much of my work in furthering my education comes in the hope that I can be part of it succeeding. The Clean Power Plan (Links to an external site.)  of 2015 set limits on carbon pollution from U.S. power plants,  attempting to curb the impacts of climate change around the world (NRDC 2017).   It says that limiting carbon pollution from power plants is “the single biggest step we can take to fight” climate change (NRDC, 2017).   However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that, with current operations, even expecting perfect execution going forward, the goal of limiting temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius is out of reach, and the 1.5-degree target that scientists say must be achieved to save the earth’s coral reefs is farther still (Poneman,  2019).  I personally have seen the effects of the U.S. “clean coal”  technologies, removing mercury and acid gasses from the flue gas with activated carbon and hydrated lime or pretreating the coal to decrease the chance of those same toxins escaping (M3 55).  However, unless the  aforementioned political and training changes are fulfilled, it seems  unlikely that the IPCC prediction will change
