How could the use of nuclear energy source be reduced?
By relying more extensively on fossil fuels. The hell with global warming!Seriously, the use of nuclear energy needs to be expanded, not reduced.
What would make the US want to use nuclear energy?
Some reasons could be: * Availability of nuclear fuel * Availability of nuclear technology * Declining reserves of fossil fuels * Power generation Potential of nuclear fuels
What energy source will tidal energy replace?
Tidal energy could replace any of the fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) generated energy. Tidal energy at the present is only suitable for a few locations round the world, as it needs a large bay or inlet with a small opening to the sea, where the tides will move in and out at speed.
What are 3 alternative energy sources to fossil fuels?
There is a source of energy that is more friendly to the environment that has not been looked into yet such as using the force from the waves to power everything that fossil fuels are being used currently to power and you could use wind power as well to make a better alternative to fossil fuels
What are the advances of burning fossil fuels over nuclear fuels?
Nuclear fuels are extremely dangerous and the station could explode.
Why is hydrogen a renewable fuel?
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
Is nuclear energy the deadliest energy?
no, depends on how the energy system is designed and used. Fossil fuel systems can be very deadly. Wind turbines often kill endangered birds. Hydropower could make salmon extinct. Its all risk tradeoffs.
What energy is not renewable?
I think there is a law of conservation of energy that says: 'energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another.' So no energy could be 'created within 100 years'
What do you have to do to release the energy of a fuel?
You have to produce some kind of reaction to make the fuel change state. This could be a nuclear reaction, or in the case of combustible fossil fuels it is a chemical reaction with oxygen
What is the difference between nuclear energy and light energy?
Light is electromagnetic energy. Nuclear energy is energy derived from nuclear reactions, and the nuclear reactions could be either fusion or fission reactions. As regards the energy that appears from nuclear reactions, it can take different forms, including the form of electromagnetic energy.
What are two advantages of a nuclear fission reactor?
it is a clean source of producing energy and doesn't cause CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions.It is safer than other fossil or renewable energy sources.it could be used for medical treatment.
What are alternative sources you could use tp provide energy?
Alternative source of energy beside conventional fossil fuel, nuclear power and hydro-power are Solar energy in the form of photo-voltaic cells or solar-thermal, wind energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biological derived fuels.
