Is wind energy less expensive than nuclear energy?
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
Is wind energy less dangerous than nuclear energy?
yes
What use is most expensive to generating electricity?
When compared to coal and hydro. the installation cost for hydro is more at start, but maintanence cost is very less or vic versa (for thermal)
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
What is new zealands stance towards nuclear energy?
New Zealand decided some time ago that it could forgo the 'benefits' of generating electricity from nuclear energy. We have plentiful sources of hydro available for generation. Indeed, recently Contact Energy, one of the large generating companies, decided to forgo any further developments on the Clutha River (Mata au). Wind energy is plentiful at these latitudes (c45o) and can be located close to the demand locations. So hydro power is less attractive.Part of the bias against nuclear power, is that the feedstock supplies and the disposal of waste were not worth the problem.[Remember the big push for nuclear energy in US and Europe, was not because of the power produced - the interest was almost completely in the Uranium and Plutonium produced for nuclear weapons. The power was a by-product.Once sufficient plants were built to meet the military demands, the nuclear power constructions came to an almost complete halt.]
Have people benefited from the discovery of uranium?
Nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, also some less important applications
What are advantage of nuclear fuels?
High(est) energy yield,less polusion
Use the word nuclear in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.The nuclear reactor provides energy for our state.The nuclear family is becoming less common.Scientists studied the nuclear reaction.
What is the plan to reduce energy costs?
The plan to reduce energy costs are to switch from fossil fuel to nuclear energy because nuclear energy can be recycled to help the earth so it doesn't pollute! Plus their is more nuclear energy than fossil fuel so therefore you pay less.
What are the positive environmental effects of nuclear energy?
Positive environmental effects of nuclear energy revolve around air pollution. With nuclear energy, there is less waste that gets distributed into the atmosphere. The air is actually cleaner due to the fact that no air pollutants are released.
What energy has fuel got?
It depends on what fuel you are talking about. For nuclear energy, the energy comes from binding energy released when atoms are fissioned or (less commonly) fused.
Solar energy cost?
Less then regular electricity.
