Nuclear Power
Power plants are expensive
They are fairly reliable; can go wrong
They are very efficient
Most are durable
Nuclear power plants affect the environment and culture
They are easily accessible.Slide5
Pros & ConsSlide6
Limitations
Amount of SpaceComplaints from nearby peopleAmount of windProductivitySlide7
Resolutions
Clear small areas in forestDesign more quite, yet efficient designsWeighted fins that spin longer with less windHeavy processing of designsSlide8
CostSlide9
Safety
Thorough inspections of each turbine
Inspect the area where the turbine will be placed and the area surrounding it
Make sure all models up to date, and we will acknowledge possible problems
Regular check-ups on each unitSlide10
Reliability
Not always wind, so blades are weighted at the tip to spin further from less windVery accessible sourceVery beneficial to Duvall and Carnation, seeing as we don’t need much energySlide11
Cultural/Environmental ConsiderationsPut turbines in areas where bird traffic is lessNoise can be loud for neighboring housesSeen as dangerousSlide12
