@emmaryan3939 Great! Looks huge! I heard they produce a lot of noise however.. is it true? Thank you for the picture.

@SDufour13 Yes Hydro Quebec is great news! #Hydropower

@Gabriel18635776 @FowziaNuruzzam2 Very true, renewable energy is the future.. Non-renewable cannot be sustainable .. We need a complete transition!

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

@sevannab08 This is why renewable energy is much better! It is not sustainable otherwise..! #reply #273

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

@sevannab08 Same Sevanna, it was a long time ago! Great nostalgia! #phys273

Coal is, by far, the highest fatality rate per Twh of energy produced.. #avoidcoal #coalisbad #phys273 #lesson8

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

France currently has the highest percent of their electricity generated through nuclear power.. #goodthing #nuclear #phys273 #lesson8

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

There is currently 0 long term storage facility for nuclear reactor waste... #phys273 #lesson8

@jenniekana Great material Jennie.. this is phenomenal! #Phys273

@julia_legler Cannot believe we only use 1% of solar energy.. just imagine what we could produce with 100%.. #Phys273

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

@julia_legler So interesting to realize the power of the clouds..able to cover so much of the light.. #Phys273

[Julia Legler @julia_legler]

Interesting that 17% of light can be scattered through the clouds ☁️🌨🌫

Russia has around 5 times more natural gas reserves compared to the USA. The difference is substantial! #phys273 @sevannab08

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

World's coal reserve could only last around 200 years at current rate of consumption. An other of the multiple reasons why we need to find alternatives quickly and effectively. #phys273

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

It is terrifying to read that almost 100K American miners died during the 20th century due to accidents. Thankfully, it is much safer today. #lesson5tweets #phys273

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

In the long run, oil supplies could eventually run out. Hence why we need to find alternatives and focus on renewable energy. #Lesson5

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

Almost half of the World's natural gas reserve are found in two countries: Russia and Iran. USA has 300 Trillion Cubic Feet while Russia has 1688 Trillion Cubic Feet. Canada has 77 Trllion Cubic Feet. #lesson5

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

Coal and Petroleum consumption has been decreasing in Europe and North America but increasing in Asia.. #phys273 #lesson5

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

Alternative & nuclear energy consumption in Canada is accountable for 24% of the total energy consumption. It is also interesting to note that alternative energy is becoming more and more popular. #phys273 #lesson5

[patrick marcotte @patrickmarcot11]

There will be continuous decrease in Nuclear, coal (major) and hydro (small) consumption in Canada. #phys273
