NATURAL GAS
OIL
20 richest countries consume:
• 50% of coal • 80% of natural gas • 65% of oil
U.S. energy consumption
51% of U.S. use in coal
Energy lost from coal
65% lost in power plants
10% lost on transmission lines (stray voltage)
Effects on health

The future? Hydrogen fuel cells
NATURAL GAS
Methane, other Gases in bedrock
Advantages of natural gas
Cleaner to burn
Half as much CO2 as coal
Much Western U.S. coal has
low-sulfur content, cheaper to mine
But mining in semi-arid West
Heat value of coal types

Kills fish, trees
Sources of Nitrogen Oxides
Transport atiowk.baidu.com Electrical plants Other
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide create acid rain
Tall stacks deposit farther
Coal mines
Surface (strip) mine, Western U.S.
Underground (shaft) mine, Eastern U.S.
Coal cheaper, but polluting
Much Eastern U.S. coal has
high-sulfur content, more expensive to mine
More efficient
10% energy lost
60-year supply at current rates
Disadvantages of natural gas
Difficult to transport
Pipelines Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) tankers
Can be polluting, dangerous when extracted
Methane bed drilling pollutes
OIL (PETROLEUM)
Buried organic matter rich in hydrocarbons
Oil Consumption by
Sector (1998)
