Energy: A Resource Booklet for Teachers

Abstract

<p> Three chapters comprise this project. The first chapter deals with the global picture of energy supply and demand, and concludes that other sources of energy must be developed in the next fifty years.</p> <p> Chapter Two considers a number of alternate sources of energy and examines two sources in particular: (i) Hydrogen and its dependence on electricity, and (ii) Nuclear energy used to produce electricity. Certainly, Ontario has a very viable option to produce electricity by means of nuclear energy.</p> <p> Home heating can, to some extent, be controlled by the individual, and Chapter Three discusses the operation of a heat pump and its feasibility as a heating device for homes in the Southern Ontario climate.</p>
