Fossil fuel is organic remains of long
ago covered with mud and rock it makes oil, gas,
and coal.
3
Burning these fossil fuels for our
electricity makes more greenhouse gases a
reality.
4
Greenhouse gases let sunlight come in.
Greenhouse gases dont let energy go out.
5
This creates the global warming talked about in
our reporting also known as the greenhouse effect.
6
The gases that make up the greenhouse gas come
from water vapor, C-O-2, and grass "from cows as
methane!"
7
Coming in they are transparent to sunlight
that's in the air but they absorb the radiant
heat from the earth.
8
The response is warmer winds and rising seas The
poles and icy mountains will unfreeze.
9
Life is rearrangin' and our planet is a changin',
Soon LaJolla will be drownin', o-oh please! oh
no!
10
The waters getting warmer all the time Ocean
levels getting higher - its a crime!
11
Corals dying all around us, toxic algae will
confound us, and erosion will be causing us to
climb.
12
The ice caps are melting at unchecked
rates Causing animals and such to meet their
fates.
13
The penguins must hunt harder, for the krill
are getting smaller, Floods and hurricanes are
frequent as of late.
14
Heat from fossil fuels turns water into steam
Steam turns turbines for power, so it
seems.
15
When fossil fuels are gone where will we get
our steam? Find a solution or
life may go downstream.
16
We must use resources that are
renewable Instead of depending on fossil fuel.

17
Solar, wind and hydro power can all be used
again. There is also energy from the
ocean.
18
Unlike the energy from wind and sun We can
predict when the ocean will run.
19
Wave, tidal, thermocline, current and
gradient of salinity are five ways to get energy
from the sea.
20
Wave energy generates electricity By the
up-and-down motion of the sea.
21
In Isle of Islay, Scotland they use wave
energy, to make 5 mega-watts commercially.
22
With tidal power the tide goes up and then
declines into a system of water
turbines.
23
France and Nova Scotia are two locations with
commercial-sized plants in operation.
24
Take the surface and the deep water
temperatures If the difference 25 degrees Celsius
measures
25

This is thermocline energy used in Japan and
Hawaii. Small scale designs are producing
electricity.
26
Swift currents moving close to the shore are a
way to make energy forevermore.
27
Wader holds a patent on a method of generating
energy through a process involving the mixing of
salt and fresh water. This device is called the
Hydrocratic Generator.
Using salt water and fresh water's
different density is power from gradient of
salinity.

Design for an offshore power generator/ocean
research platform, Aquatic Solutions to Air
Pollution, known by its acronym, ASAP.
We have designed an offshore platform for the
task. Although building it will be a lot to ask.

Diagram D Salinity gradient generator
It uses current and wave energy and also
gradient of salinity, to harvest lots of power
from the sea.

The salinity gradient generators are in a ring.
They also filter minerals and harmful
things

Lots of pistons on the sea floor, lots of
turbines on the platform bottom from fossil
fuels will give us freedom.

ASAP!
