# data[].attributes.body
1)13% of our energy comes from renewable energy
2)Bodies need 10,000,000 J
3)40% of the fossil fuels on the Earth
I found that
1) Coal production peaked in 2008 and trended down in 2016.
2)It takes 55 hours to charge your body.
One thing I'm still wondering- what are example geothermal energy resources?

# data[].attributes.body
1)there was loads of coal in 2008 that means we had lots of fossil energy.
2)almost 10% of energy is renewable in the US
3) biomass is energy from living things

I found that 1) it would be 55 hours to charge your body.
2) the amount of energy the US has can be a lot one day and very low another day.
1 question: I question how much energy NYC uses each year.

# data[].attributes.body
1. A renewable energy source is the sun
2. A nonrenewable source is nuclear energy
3. Another nonrenewable source is coal

2 things I found interesting:
1. The U.S. consumes 25% of the world's energy
2. One calorie equals 4200 joules

1 thing I'm still wondering:
One thing I'm wondering is if us humans will actually be able to use energy that isn't coal or gas.

# data[].attributes.body
3 Facts
1. Biomass energy is energy conceived from living things
2. 174 petawatts of energy hits the earth
3. WInd turbines can help reduce the chance of hurricanes.

2 interesting

2. 1 calorie is equal to 4200 joules

1 question
1. How much energy does it take to power the entire USA?

# data[].attributes.body
3 Facts
1. about 9.9% of energy is renewable in the US
2. The most major energy sources in the US are petroleum oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, and renewable resources.
3. Biofuel is fuel derived from living organisms (plants)

2 Interesting Things
1. 173 quadrillion watts of energy come from the sun
2. Solar power can be created by photovoltaics

1 Question
1. Which country consumes the most energy? And the least?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about energy, but still want to learn more about electromagnetic energy.

# data[].attributes.body
3 Facts

1) In 2013, data centers in the US used as much energy as 34 coal power plants
2) Only 13% of our energy comes from renewable energy
3) We will run out of oil in 50 years and run out of coal in 100 years

2 Interesting Facts

1) One calorie = 4200 Joules
2) Our bodies need about 10 million joules of energy each day.

1 Things I'm Wondering

1) Are there more renewable energy sources that we can use?

# data[].attributes.body
3 facts I learned are:
> In 50 years, fossil fuels will be diminished
> In 2016, renewable energy sources accounted for about 10% of total U.S. energy consumption and about 15% of electricity generation
>The U.S. consumes about 25% energy & google alone aacounts for roughly are 0.013%
2 things I found interesting are:
>  It would take 55 hours to charge ourselves
>The daily intake of the calories you eat is 10 million jules
1 thing I am still wondering is:
What other sources of energy will come after we run out of fossil fuels?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Nuclear Energy provides more than 20% of Americas electricity
2) Schools spend 6 billion dollars on energy annually, more than computers and textbooks
3) Coal generates the most energy out of any other source

I found that 1) If you yell for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days you would have created enough energy to heat one cup of coffee
2) Just 1/3 of the energy from coal reaches the consumer as electricity

One thing I'm still wondering- How much energy has renewable energy created so far?

# data[].attributes.body
1.37% of US energy comes from gas
2. 39% electrical power is used to
3. Biomass fuels provided about 5% of the primary energy used in the United States

1. The US is using more renewable resourses
2. Our body uses chemical energy

One thing I wonder, how is geothermal power gotten?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Only 9.9% of resources are renewable resources
2. Coal production had its peak in 2008
3. We have used 40% of fossil fuels on earth so far

1. Our bodies need 10 million joules of energy per day
2. It would 55 hours to charge yourself

1. I am still wondering what we will use to replace gas and coal when they run out.

# data[].attributes.body
1. IN 50 years gas will be gone, and in 100 years coal will be gone.
2. We've used 40% of fossil fuels on earth so far.
3. Different energy element problems have different problems.
Interesting:
1. it would take 55 hours to recharge our energy
2. The daily intake of our calories is about 10 million j.

# data[].attributes.body
Facts:
1. In 50 years, fuels like oil and gas will be gone
2. Different elements of the energy problem have different solutions.
3. We've used about 40% of the fossil fuels on the Earth so far.
Interesting:
1. A strong infrastructure could help solve this problem.
2. There new ways being developed to change solar energy into chemical energy but they are not yet fully functional.
Wondering: How can people our age can make a difference and change the course of our earth?
