Why is nuclear energy considered clean energy?
Because it does not produce any greenhouse gases or other chemical pollution, like sulfur dioxide produced by coal burning.
How do windmills slow global warming?
By using windmills to produce energy, it cuts down on energy produced via fossil fuels such as coal and oil which produce greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are the main causes of global warming. Basically, using windmills to make clean energy cuts down on the production of greenhouse gases.
How does nuclear power compare to hydro power and biomass energy in terms of greenhouse gas emissions?
Neither nuclear power nor hydro power produce greenhouse gases during operation. Burning biomass produces CO2, but it can be argued that during the growing of the biomass material it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, so it is actually neutral.
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
Why do nuclear power plants emit less greenhouse gases?
Nuclear power does not contribute to global warming! However nuclear power generated in the Earth' core warms the planet. The thermal energy generated in the core from nuclear fission keeps the planet warmer than the solar black-body radiation balance.
How does nuclear energy help mars?
It does not produce greenhouse gases, as fossil fuels do.
How is using nuclear energy less harmful to the environment then using fossil fuels?
Because it does not produce greenhouse gases
Why is nuclear energy considered clean energy?
Because it does not produce any greenhouse gases or other chemical pollution, like sulfur dioxide produced by coal burning.
Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?
Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled
What are benefits of nuclear reactions in the production of electricity?
The process does not produce greenhouse or other polluting gases
Why wont a nuclear power plant have an effect on global warming?
Because it does not produce greenhouse gases
How do windmills slow global warming?
By using windmills to produce energy, it cuts down on energy produced via fossil fuels such as coal and oil which produce greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are the main causes of global warming. Basically, using windmills to make clean energy cuts down on the production of greenhouse gases.
How many less tons of greenhouse gases are emitted from nuclear power plants?
Nuclear power plants emit no greenhouse gases at all.
Do nuclear gases affect global warming?
Nuclear reactions do not produce gases, except for some of the fission products which are gaseous, like xenon, but these are contained securely within the fuel rods and would only be released in the event of a fuel melt down. So nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases.
Why is it good to use nuclear energy?
Because it does not cause pollution by producing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming
Is nuclear power the answer to climate change?
It does not produce the greenhouse gases so that is beneficial. It is part of the answer but I don't think most countries want to be wholly dependent on nuclear.
What countries produce the least greenhouse gases?
Countries that produce the least greenhouse gases typically have smaller populations and/or rely heavily on renewable energy sources. Some examples include Iceland, Sweden, and Costa Rica.
