@KpPhys273 Me too! I find it interesting how much we can learn through nature

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@stephforget9 So did I and it turns out my washing ma home and dryer are Energy Star certified!

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@Alexie66647331 No idea! But I guess when you think it, they do get pretty hot when they’re on for a long time. So a lot of the energy is being used as heat energy rather than for their intended use!

@cloutconcordia When I was at this section of the lecture I was like “oops” because we do in fact have our old fridge in the garage 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@ZuberiNoureen Yes! It’s very important to distinguish between the two. Energy conservation and the law of conservation of energy! They’re NOT the same ☺️

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@hum_christopher @sponzo3 I agree! I think we also need to find a better storage system for nuclear energy as it is being stored in underground storage; that weren’t supposed to be permanent, but ended up being

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@dakka_j On the other hand though, we don’t currently have a long term secure underground storage.. and thus radiation can escape...

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@dakka_j Me too! And as the lecture said “nuclear energy is never seen as a leader in energy deaths” which I think makes nuclear energy a good source.

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

I agree! We need to have better solutions

[Marianne273 @Marianne2732]

Hopefully, the Yucca Mountain project can be approved and implemented to allow us a space for safe and long-term waste storage. #lesson8

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Nuclear power is a relatively new source of energy! #Lesson8

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Nuclear power accounts for 11% of global electricity generation #Lesson8 #NuclearPower

@EmmaRonacher 🙋🏼‍♀️ we recently changed our fireplace so now it is a little bit cleaner when it leaves the chimney than why we had before!

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

@KpPhys273 I’m in Early Childhood and Elementary Education (ECEE) and I took this class since I needed a science elective! First science class and I’m actually really enjoying it!

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

It makes complete sense that geothermal energy is popular in the worlds most volcanic and tectonic places since geothermal energy is produced from the internal heat of the sun! #Leason7 #Geothermal

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Hydropower is the largest producer of electricity worldwide! #Lesson7 #Hydropower

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Hydropower is renewable because the water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun #Lesson7 #Hydropower

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

I agree. I think living off grid would allow people to use more renewable energy sources rather than relying on fossil fuels!

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Cool! I had no idea!!

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

Is a reason Canada only has ~1% solar energy production due to the fact that for half the year our homes are covered in snow? The sunlight that we have wouldn’t even make it to the solar PVs #Lesson6 #PhotovoltaicElectricity

[Kayla Greenough @GreenoughKayla]

More houses should have solar PVs on their roofs. The sun is the most abundant renewable energy source! #Lesson6
