Nuclear is about the same as fossil fuel in total costs, but more expensive to build the plant. Solar and wind power are more expensive and have to be subsidised to make them economic for power companies to use
Cost too much/ineffective (too low power)
In some cases, or even in most, alternative energy is expensive to produce. Energy such as coal or gas, which can be found in the earth are far less expensive to obtain. Solar heating panels can heat your whole home but few can afford the $5-6000 it would cost.
Yes it does. First it costs you $money to put it in but after that all the money is your gain for if you make extra solar power through your panels then it will go back to the power station and they will pay you. another way is if you use batteries you don't have to buy power from the main power station and in the long run you are helping the environment. All for the better!
Sun Power solar panels offers a very efficient alternative energy plan. Offering a 40% discount on solar panels, Sun Power should prove to be a very cost efficient answer to meet your energy saving needs.
I would. Alternative energy would cost more in the short term, but in the long term, it evens out.
We are interested in increasing our use of alternative energy, and have been considering getting solar panels for our house. Alternative energy tax credits may mean that the cost will be lower when we get a tax rebate after buying solar panels.
Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower can be sustainable alternatives to nuclear power. These sources produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and have the potential to provide a significant portion of our energy needs. However, the feasibility of each alternative depends on factors like location, infrastructure, and cost.
Solar Power is an inexhaustible alternative energy source. Because the sun will never run out, we can use solar power for power. And even though solar panels cost a lot, the sun's power is free! However, at night or during long periods of bad weather, we will need another energy source to rely on.
Wind power I should think. Power from the ocean (wave or tidal) has some potential but has not been developed yet. Solar seems to me to be limited because daylight hours are limited, and we need power after dark
Other than what? Please clarify.Common energy sources (for technological purposes) are fossil fuels (petroleum and coal), nuclear energy, as well as solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic (water) energy, and many others.
Geothermal energy provides a low-cost alternative to fossil fuels in regions with high geothermal activity, such as Iceland, the Philippines, and parts of the United States like California and Nevada.
I consider that the nuclear energy is a chance for the future.
