Alternative Oil Sources

• Oil Shale Production
• Possible extra 500 to 1100 billion barrels of oil
• This means an extra 3 million barrels a day
• Alaskan Wilderness drilling
• 1 million barrels a day
• Economic Impact
• Reduced Oil use
• Government tax credits
• Alternative fuels

8
Alternative Energy

• Alternative energy refers to energy sources which
  are not based on the burning of fossil fuels or
  the splitting of atoms.

9
Alternative Energy

• Solar
• Wind Power
• Geothermal
• Tides
• Hydroelectric

10
Solar

• a number of methods of harnessing energy from the
  light of the Sun
• 50 produced in Japan
• 12 produced in the US

11
Wind Power

• The kinetic energy of wind, or the extraction of
  this energy by wind turbines

12
Geothermal

• electricity generated by utilizing naturally
  occurring geological heat sources
• a form of renewable energy

13
Tides

• electricity generation achieved by capturing the
  energy contained in moving water mass due to
  tides

14
Hydroelectric

• from the potential energy of dammed water driving
  a water turbine and generator
• Countries with the most hydro-electric capacity
• Canada, 341,312 GWh (66,954 MW installed)
• USA, 319,484 GWh (79,511 MW installed)
• Brazil, 285,603 GWh (57,517 MW installed)
• China, 204,300 GWh (65,000 MW installed)
• Russia, 160,500 GWh (44,000 MW installed)
• Norway, 121,824 GWh (27,528 MW installed)
• Japan, 84,500 GWh (27,229 MW installed)
• India, 82,237 GWh (22,083 MW installed)
• France, 77,500 GWh (25,335 MW installed)

15
Biomass

• Wood, sugar cane, and other solid waste burned to
  provide heat

16
Nuclear

• Energy released by a nuclear reaction, especially
  by fission or fusion
• Also called atomic energy

17
Strategies to contain overall costs

• Energy Conservation
• Supply and storage strategies
• Capital improvements

18
A Five-Step Action Plan

• 1. Be aware of the situation.
• 2. Review current gas and electric supply
  contracts.
• 3. Communicate with utility company account
  representatives.
• 4.. Reforecast budgets when necessary.
• 5. Investigate opportunities for alternative
  energy systems (onsite generation).

Squeezed by high gas prices? 4 options to
consider

• Build the higher costs into your product pricing.
• Break out the costs as a separate charge for
  customers.
• Improve your own energy efficiency.
• Determine that absorbing the pain in the short
  term may be the best option.
