Q1,Q2… = Questions (put answers in parentheses)

TEAM A Renewable TEAM B

A1: According to the up college of A1: Nonrenewable sources or energy are the
engineering, climate change is one of the best sources of energy
problems of the world - Crude oil, coal, nuclear power plant
US environment mechanics explained)
Burning of fossil fuels - Fossil fuels form from carbonic cycles
Coal emits the most co2 Coal:
Org of specific environment - Coal is a black and brownish rock,
-asthma, cancer formation depends upon time and
temperature
Paris agreement: Duterte agreed to sign the - Electricity production is the same as
agreement any other power plants.
- ? Pangasinan, highest source of coal
energy
Solar energy: Crude Oil:
sunlight turns into energy - TMO plant, Ilihan, Batangas - highest
Geothermal: source of energy from crude oil
Hydroelectric: kinetic to mechanical to electric Nuclear:
Miller: geothermal: inexhaustible source of - (power plant mechanics explained)
energy
A2: Power plants in the Phil with that produce
the highest amount of energy (enumerated)
Next speaker: - BNPP - 623 MW
- etc.
A1: Renewable is sustainable and abundant Comaparison to renewable energy sources:
Solar and geothermal and hydro constant - Produce less energy than
nonrenewable energy
Solution to interruption of energy - NRW- More production of energy
-Costs are cheaper - RW- energy production is unstable,
-5.7 billion pesos suddenly collapses; affects night
-267 million (geothermal) industries

Coal power plants have hidden costs Wind energy - not reliable
-has costly externalities
Estimated costs NAPOCOR: Bataan Nuclear Power Plant:
1,200 megawatts -> natural gas
-Reducing emissions
-Clean Air Act, Clean water Act NRW - produce a large amount of energy
-relatively new can be improved
- stable prices POI: denied

Effects of global warming to wind energy:

Whip: - Increase in temp. in China thus lesser
A1:renewable, stable, abundant, sustainable wind
 - Solution to interruption of energy - Wind energy becomes unreliable

-Renewable energy hidden costs are cheaper
compared to non-renewable.
1.) Calagatan Solar Farm, Batangas: 5.7
B Pesos
2.) Development of geothermal plant: 277
million USD (13 B Pesos)
-Coal power plants have hidden costs
- has costly externalities
- Estimated costs: 1,200 - 1,800 USD (
60,000 to 90,000 pesos)
-Definite amount
-reducing emissions
- it is relatively new so it can still be improved
- stable prices
A2: Inquirer: construction costs more money
but environmental cost is less dangerous
A3: paves the way for sustainable
development
- More labor intensive
A4: Climate change is a major problem:
Paris Climate deal allows us to fulfill our
responsibility in reducing emissions
Summary of whip:
renewable source of energy, best for our
country
- Renewable as long as it is sustainable
and abundant
- The resolution
- Compared to fossil fuels, the
construction of renewable power
plants is costly but lesser
environmental effects
- Paves a way for sustainable
development
- Provides more jobs
- Climate change is a major problem,
A3: NRW is the best kind of energy because
it is the most efficient source of energy
POI: denied
- NRW produces a large amount of
energy
- Current demand for energy 12k MW.
- Phil is dependent to fossil fuels
- RW have an unstable source of
energy
- Wind power - the higher the temp the
weaker the power circulation (CHina
case)
- 39% of the electricity is generated
from coal.
- Due to improvement of tech there is
decrease in co2 emissions (moot - no
research for examples of
technologies)
- Need to consider trend of climate
change
A4: NRW energy is the best source of energy
- Paris agreement is not yet signed
- Best- meaning most efficient
- Clean air act - new technologies such
as filters
POI: denied
- To government: no source from DOE.

Last speaker:
Used opposition’s ppt
Renewable are unstable
BUT it can be replaced

Clean coal is a myth

-it will never be fully clean as compared to
renewable

Add to renewable of 2008:

Enables diff. Companies to have tax
incentives
Given tax incentives, there are other ways to
get back the money if they use renewable
