devices that can transform energies into other forms in a shorter period of time has morepower
electrical power - the rate at which electricalenergy is used by a load
eg. appliances (washingmachines, TV)
phantom load - electrical energy devices use when it is turned off
eg. stand-by mode on TVs
kilowatt-hour (kWh) - a larger unit of energy
smart meter - an electrical energy meter that measures how energy use changes in a building over the course of the day; the power company charges a fixedamount of money for every kWh of electrical energy used
renewable energy source - an energy source that is available on a continuous basis
eg. sunlight, wind, river flow, tides + waves, geothermalsources, biomass
provide sustaining options for generating electrical energy
nonrenewable energy source - an energy source that is non-replaceable in a humanlifetime
eg. coal, naturalgas, uranium (nuclearreactions)
sustainable energy system - a sustainable way of perceiving, producing, and using energy
ensures that the extraction, production, and use of energy have limited impact on environmental/humanhealth
less reliance on nonrenewablesources
ensures the availability of renewable + reliable energy sources for current + future generations
provide access to affordable energy for Earth's entire population
First Peoples EBM
respect + responsibility - make respectful decisions of the natural world + responsible use of resources
intergenerational knowledge - listen to elders + share knowledge between generations
balance + interconnectedness - balance ensures future generations are considered, interconnectedness takes many relationships with an ecosystem into consideration
giving + receiving - give thanks for naturalresources recognizes their value, benefits of resources are share in communities
