Oil for New HampshireAdam Scala

How Energy Comes From Oil

1st used radar to find large oil deposits

2nd drill into the ground pump crude oil out into tanks

3rd bring oil to plants where it is burned

4th heat turns water to steam

5th steam turns turbine which generates electricity.

Price of Energy

$103.31 per barrel

$119 in next year

610 kWh per barrel of oil

19-20 cents per kWh

Used graph to predict that in 2012 use 13,040 million kWh

That means 21,377,049 barrels of oil if 100% energy from oil

Price of Energy Continued

Used this graph to figure that 10% NH energy comes from oil

$ 2,150,000 in 2010

Would We Be Selfish

USA consumes 19.8 million barrels of oil a day

If double our oil consumption then use 4,275,409 barrels A YEAR

1:1689(we use one barrel US uses 1689) everyday

Advantages

Exists Others asking for millions

of dollars we don’t have or research

Doesn’t make sense when infrastructure for Oil is already set up

Don't spend extra setting something(nuclear plants, hydro-dam, coal mines, ) up

Just ask for more then right a bigger check

The Citizens View

People understand it

Easier taxes for it

Asking for $ for oil easier than nuclear fusion, geothermal, biomass

Are they going to give us $ for something they understand or don't
