Why did Japan use nuclear reactors?
Japan has few natural resources. They have to generate their electricity from imported fuels, primarily fossil (petrochemical) fuels. The nuclear reactor is an option to the use of fossil fuels to generate heat to generate electric power, and for Japan, an island nation, it was one that came with acceptable risks.
What are fossil fuels used for?
Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in our homes and for to power our automobiles and other vehicles and power tools.
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?
Both wind power and fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. Additionally, they both have the potential to impact the environment, although wind power is considered cleaner and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels.
How are fossil fuels and nuclear power generate harmful?
Well, they both generate thermal pollution, but after they differ wildly.
What can Fossil Fuel and Natural Gas power?
Virtually anything. Fossil fuels generate electricity which can power most any modern devices.
Why do you use gas for central heating?
1. usually it is cheaper to use than electric power. 2. it burns cleaner than the fossil fuels used to generate electricity
How are fossil fuels used to generate energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
It is possible that you are using fossil fuels?
Personally I used fossil fuels today to boil my kettle, run my laptop on the internet, drive to the shops. Later I will cook my evening meal. All these things use fossil fuels. Electric power uses fossil fuels that are burnt at the nearest power plant.
How are fossil fuels used in a power station to generate energy?
Fossil fuels are burned in a power station to produce heat, which is used to convert water into steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity. This process is known as thermal power generation and is a common method used to generate electricity from fossil fuels.
How do burning fossil fuels produce electricity?
They are used to run most of the power plantsthat generate electricity.
Which activity involves using fossil fuels directly or indirectly?
Driving a car involves using fossil fuels directly by burning gasoline to power the engine. Using electricity generated from fossil fuels to charge an electric vehicle involves using fossil fuels indirectly.
