2. The renewable energy sources are hydro energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, and solar energy
3. Natural gasses are the most used fossil fuel.
2 things I found interesting 
1.  Louisiana had the highest primary energy consumption per capita.
2. Coal production in 2016 was about the same as coal production in 1977.]]> 2018-04-13 12:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510111 Zachary Mondragon zachary_mondragon https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510165 1. Geothermal energy

1) In 2013, it took 34 power plants to power phone data centers
2) The world average per capita consumption of primary energy in 2016 was about 74 million Btu.
3) Louisiana had the highest per capita primary energy consumption

Things I found interesting:
1) We've used 40% of the world's oil
2) Scientists predicted that we won't have any oil left in 50 years

Something I'm still wondering:
1) I'm wondering how long it's going to take to convert things to renewable energy sources because 50 years isn't a very long time considering how long it takes to develop technologies.]]> 2018-04-13 12:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510191 Liam Ripberger liam_ripberger https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510221 1) I learned that there are 5 types of renewable energy resources - geothermal, solar, hydro, wind powered, and biomass.
2) We have used about 40% of all the world's fossil fuels and will run out in 50 years.
3) It is hard to make the earth run on 100% renewable energy.

I found it interesting that
1) I found it interesting that the primary source of energy is from natural gases.
2) I was also interested that Louisiana had the highest energy use per capita.

One thing I'm still wondering- I'm wondering if renewable resources could work just as fast and efficiently as fossil fuels.]]> 2018-04-13 12:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510221 Noah Lehrfeld https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510379 1. We have used 40%  of the earths energy
2. Its hard to make the world 100% renewable energy.
3.every person uses lots of energy

1. Its cool we can get energy from water 
2.Gas and coal will run out

1. Will I be alive when we run out of fossil fuels. ]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510379 Benjamin Lilly benjamin_lilly https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510482 1. One person uses 301 BTU
2. Louisiana has the highest BTU per person with 902 million BTU per person
3. 2016 = renewable energy sources were 10% of the total US energy consumption

I found that... 
1.  one person using 301 BTU is insane
2. 10% of our energy being renewable isn't good enough and that can result in hurting future generations

I'm still wondering about
1. How many types of renewable energy sources are there?]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510482 Emily contreras https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510519 1) 33% of natural gas is used
2)petroleum provides about 92% of the energy used for transportation
3)The three major fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, and coal—
1 thing i found interesting is why cant we use more renewable resurces]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510519 Vidya Vedula vidyadhari_vedula https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510520 1. A person uses 301 million British thermal units in 2016
2. Louisiana had the highest Btu per person
3. 10% of total US energy consumption came from renewable resources in 2016 

1. About 15% of electric generation came from renewable resources in 2016
2. Nuclear power is 9% of usage in the US in 2016

1. I wonder why we haven't started using more renewable resources even though we knew about these resources for quite a long time]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510520 Paraj Goyal https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510543 1)We have used 40% of the world's fossil fuels. Estimated to run out in 50 years.
2)It takes 34 power plants to make enough energy for America's phone usage
3) A kilogram of lithium batteries provides only 20% of the energy a kilogram of gasoline gives.
I found that 1) Regular wires aren't efficient because they lose 6-8% of energy but superconductors need to be cold to work, and that requires energy.
2) The sun, by itself, produces more than enough energy to power the world but we don't know how to absorb and transport that energy.
I'm still wondering how the we are trying to increase the efficiency of renewable resources]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510543 Catie Lillja https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510554 3 Facts I've Learned:
1. I learned that petroleum and natural gases are some of the most used resources for electricity.

2. I learned that the United States consumed about 27 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2017.

3. I learned that in 2017, the United States primarily used natural gas for electric power generation and industrial use. This compiled to nearly 67% of the natural gas share.

Two things I found interesting:
I found it interesting that natural gas was used very little as vehicle fuel.

I found it interesting that about 1,102 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and 437 million metric tons of CO2 were emitted as a result of fuel consumption of diesel and motor gasoline for transportation in the U.S. in 2016.

One thing I'm still wondering:
I'm still wondering if the efficiency of renewable energy will ever be just as efficient as fossil fuels and non-renewable resources.]]> 2018-04-13 12:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510554 Ivyonna https://padlet.com/rnelson22/48s0wf9watuh/wish/251510567 1) Biomass energy is renewable energy
2)  nuclear is a type of nonrenewable energy
3)  In 2016, the shares of total primary energy consumption for the five energy-consuming sectors were:
  • Electric power—39%


I found out that...
1)  The world average per capita consumption of primary energy in 2016 was about 74 million Btu. 
2)  The net imports in 2016 and 2015 are really high.

One thing I'm still wondering...Why is the net imports in 2017 so low?

1.  Electricity is a secondary energy source that is generated from primary energy sources.
2. The world average per capita consumption of primary energy in 2016 was about 74 million Btu. 
3. Energy sources are measured in different physical units: liquid fuels in barrels or gallons, natural gas in cubic feet, coal in short tons, and electricity in kilowatts and kilowatthours. 
2 things I found interesting were
1. Ocean energy is a renewable energy
2. Something I found interesting was that we have used more than 40% of the gas
One thing I'm still wondering is
1. How much energy and gas have we used at the moment

3.about 10% of the energy the US uses is renewable 
2 interesting things
1. In 2015, Louisiana had the highest per capita primary energy consumption at about 912 million Btu per person, mainly because it had the highest per capita industrial sector energy consumption of any state.
2.Fuel ethanol contains a denaturant that is added to ethanol to make fuel ethanol unfit for human consumption.
