Question
(2) Go to the EIA website and get the following two datasets for Ohio:
Electricity generation by type from the State Energy Data System Database
https://www.eia.gov/state/seds/data.php?incfile=/state/seds/sep_use/eu/use_eu_OH.html&sid=OH
This link will take you to Table CT8. Electric Power Sector Consumption Estimates, 1960-2015, Ohio. The data in BTUs is in the second table.
Historical carbon dioxide emissions for Ohio from 1980 to 2015 for the electricity sector
http://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/state/state_emissions.cfm
Plot historical energy consumption in the electricity sector by source (for only coal, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables) in BTUs from 1960 - 2015
Plot historical carbon dioxide emissions in the electricity sector for Ohio from 1980 – 2015
(3) Discuss the trend in Ohio’s energy consumption for electricity production. Based on the plots you did in (2) above, what has changed since 1960 in Ohio’s energy sector? Based on our discussion in class, list 2 reasons why these changes have occurred.
Explanation / Answer
At Chegg we try to help student and solve your queries. Do give a thumbs up for the answer and the efforts put in.
We at Chegg are not allowed to access any external links in our answer hence will not quote any link and therby answering your question based on the data supplied by you. Secondly we cannot insert a chart in the answer.
Answer to 2.
Answer to 2
While accessing the data we can clearly say that the energy consumption has been the highest for coal followed by natural gas in BTU from 1980 to 2015 .
The carbon di oxide emission has been the highest from 2008- 2015 tenure in Ohio. This rise has been credited to rise in the number of vehicles followed by reduced usage of natural gas.
Answer to 3.
As discussed above Ohio energy consumption has been based on natural gas and renewable energy for electricity consumption.
We can broadly divide the years as follows based on energy consumption-
1980 to 1990 – coal used as primary source of energy
1990 to 2000- natural gas used as primary source of energy
2000 to 2010 – nuclear and renewables used as primary source of energy
2010 to 2015 renewable source followed by nuclear used as primary source of energy
The changed have occurred can be attributed to –
